What You'll Learn

This foundational course is the first in our four-part Defensive Handgun Series and is designed to equip students with essential skills for safe, confident firearm handling. Participants will learn core handgun safety principles, proper grip and stance, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, and the fundamentals needed to build a strong foundation for future defensive training. Perfect for new shooters or anyone looking to solidify the basics before advancing to higher-level courses.

Cancellation Policy: All class registrations are final. Refunds are only considered for verified emergencies, such as medical emergencies, hospitalization, or death in the family. Documentation may be requested. For non-emergency situations, students may receive a one-time class credit toward a future class if they notify HDG at least 48 hours in advance. Credits must be used within 90 days and are generally non-transferable. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice, or failure to attend, result in forfeiture of the class fee unless it qualifies as a verified emergency. If HDG cancels a class, students will receive either a free transfer to the next class or a full refund. By registering, students agree to these terms.

What We'll Teach

Basic and Advanced Skills

A number of basic and advanced skills designed to take your skill level beyond the building blocks introduced in Lesson Three, and dramatically elevate your speed, accuracy, and enjoyment at the range.

    "Gabe and Eddie are amazing at what they do! I went in to the class a little nervous because I am a new shooter without much experience. And I left feeling so much more confident in my abilities! I am excited to continue my defense training with Gabe and Eddie!"

    "Thank you Connie for the awesome review! We look forward to training with you again soon! "
