What You'll Learn
Defensive Pistol: Level 4 – Testing is the capstone validation phase of the Defensive Pistol Program (DPP).
This premium, performance-driven course transitions shooters from contextual skill development to the ultimate test of their abilities. It is specifically engineered to push your speed, accuracy, and decision-making to their absolute limits by introducing advanced cognitive load and dynamic scenario parameters.
This class is your official opportunity to shoot, measure, and validate your capabilities against the strict DPP Certifying Standards Drills. For the dedicated defensive shooter, this testing phase provides a definitive, unbiased metric of your readiness—delivering a profound boost in personal confidence and the true peace of mind that comes from knowing you possess the quantified skills necessary to defend yourself and your loved ones under extreme stress.
What to Expect The DPP Standards Evaluation: A systematic run-through of the official timed and scored benchmarks that define the Defensive Pistol Program's highest tiers of competency.
Induced Cognitive Load: Courses of fire explicitly designed to force critical thinking, threat discrimination, and split-second decision-making while managing weapon mechanics.
Dynamic Scenarios: Moving beyond simple linear drills into realistic, context-driven training environments that simulate real-world defensive encounters.
Hard Data & Baselines: Receive a complete performance diagnostic breakdown detailing your exact hits, splits, and draw timelines so you know precisely where your skills stand.
Who Is This For? This is a restricted, high-level testing block. It is strictly reserved for graduates of Defensive Pistol Levels 1 through 3 or advanced operators who are prepared to perform on demand. There is no fundamental instruction in this course; you are here to put your training to the test and earn your certification.

What We'll Teach
Defensive Shooting Fundamentals
This lesson will continue with the basics, including a very visual overview of what we call the “building blocks” or the fundamentals for accurate and safe shooting. Within this lesson, Michael Martin will explain the differences between the skills required for being a good “marksman” at the range, and the skills that might be required to save your life if you are ever the subject of a violent attack.
Additional Notes from Your Instructor
We will practice the DPP Certifying Standards repeatedly, working to get the highest scores you can achieve.
