What You'll Learn
Defensive Pistol: Level 2 – Run Your Gun is an intensive, diagnostic-driven workshop specifically designed to help you secure your official USCCA Protector Academy Level 1, 2, and 3 Range Certifications.
Led directly by a Certified USCCA Training Counselor, this class strips away the lecturing and maximizes your trigger time. It offers a dedicated environment to work through each qualification drill as many times as you need to perfect your mechanics, beat the timer, and claim your credentials.
What Makes This Class Different Pure Manipulation over Draw Mechanics: Holsters are mandatory for safety and weapon retention, but our core focus is strictly on running the gun. You will dive straight into high-repetition workspace manipulations rather than drawing from concealment.
Unlimited Diagnostic Repetitions: This isn't a rigid, one-and-done testing block. You bring your gear and ammo, put in the sweat equity, and leverage real-time instructor feedback to adjust and rerun any course of fire until you meet the standard.
Comprehensive Validation: Walk away with documented proof of your competency under pressure. We will systematically cover the timed loading, reloading, clear-control, and accuracy metrics required across all three foundational certification tiers.
Core Focus Areas
Time-Standard Reloads: High-volume practice of tactical and emergency reloads under the clock.
Advanced Malfunction Clearance: Real-time diagnostics to keep your weapon operational when seconds count.
Balance of Speed and Precision: Finding your maximum cadence of accurate fire at realistic defensive distances.
Post-Engagement Routine: Building habits for searching and assessing your environment after every string of fire.
Prerequisites & Logistics
Required Gear: Reliable semi-automatic handgun, appropriate baseline holster, multiple magazines, mag pouches, ear/eye protection, and a shot timer if you prefer your own device.
Ammunition: Bring all your own factory-fresh defensive or range ammo. Due to the high-repetition nature of this course, 200-250 rounds are highly recommended to maximize your attempts.
Cancellation Policy: You may request to cancel your ticket for a full refund, up to 72 hours before the date and time of the event. Cancellations between 25-72 hours before the event may be transferred to a different date/time of the same class. Cancellation requests made within 24 hours of the class date/time may not receive a refund or a transfer. When you register for a class, you agree to these terms.
