What You'll Learn

The Defensive Pistol Program (DPP) is a comprehensive, multi-level curriculum designed to equip students with the skills needed to effectively and responsibly defend themselves with a handgun.

The program emphasizes objective, performance-based skill development and is adaptable to a wide range of experience levels.

DPP stands apart from traditional courses by focusing on measurable skill development, practical performance standards, and techniques that translate directly to real-world defensive use, not just static range drills.

Cancellation Policy: To provide the highest quality training experience, course schedules, instructor assignments, and range resources are planned well in advance. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with the following policy. Student Cancellations: More than 14 days before the course: Students may cancel and receive a full refund or transfer their registration to another available course.

If a course is canceled by the training organization, students may choose to: Transfer to another available course at no additional cost, or Receive a full refund of their course tuition. The training organization is not responsible for travel expenses, lodging, ammunition, equipment costs, or other incidental expenses incurred by students. Weather Policy: Courses will generally proceed as scheduled unless conditions create an unsafe training environment. Students will be notified as soon as practical if a course must be postponed due to weather. Student Responsibility Students are responsible for ensuring they meet all course prerequisites and arrive with the required equipment listed in the course description.
