Handgun Operator

​

This course meets students where they are—whether they show up green as grass or come with years of experience in law enforcement, the military, or the competition world. We teach to the student, not just the curriculum. That means everyone on the line, regardless of background, is going to make progress from where they started.

​

We put a heavy focus on marksmanship. You’re going to learn to hit what you’re aiming at, and understand how your weapon and gear choices play into that. We go over weapon selection, how to properly set it up, and what holster options actually work for your setup and lifestyle.

​

We cover force options, post-incident considerations-what happens after you’ve had to use a firearm—mentally, legally, and tactically. That ties directly into where the class begins: mindset. Why do you carry a gun? What are you prepared to do? What are the legal boundaries in your state—and the ones you travel through?

​

We help students define what we call the mission behind their carry, and then we begin building the skillset to support it.

​

Required Gear:
• Quality pistol or revolver (medium to large frame preferred)
• 300 rounds of factory ammo
• Eye and ear protection
• Quality holster (no Serpa, nylon, or small-of-back)
• Notepad and pen
• Range attire
• Water and a sack lunch

 Students may bring multiple firearms to try.

 

Course Fee: $200
Facility Fee: $25
Duration: 8 hours

 

 

 

Gunfighter II

​

This course is where things get real. We’re building on your drawstroke and fundamentals, and taking you into the kind of problems you’re more likely to face when things go sideways. Students will work through drills that involve movement, compromised positions, and decision-making under real pressure.

​

We train the way people fight—on the move, around obstacles, with one hand occupied, or from bad positions. We cover working around others in congested environments, fighting from cover and concealment, and using what’s available in the real world—not just what’s on a square range.

​

There’s a strong emphasis on problem-solving, shooting under stress, and understanding how to manage threats when the environment isn’t in your favor. We work through barrier penetration from both defensive and offensive positions and dive into post-incident considerations, including mock 911 calls and response planning.

​

As always, mindset drives everything. We start with it, train through it, and circle back to it. This class is about bringing your skills and thinking together in a way that holds up when the pressure hits.

​

Required Gear:
• Quality pistol and holster (no Serpa, nylon, or small-of-back)
• 300 rounds of factory ammo
• Eye and ear protection
• Minimum two magazines (bring more if you have them)
• One roll of tan masking tape
• Notepad and pen
• Range attire
• Water and a sack lunch

​

Students should bring their everyday carry setup if applicable.

Volunteer Security Team Series:

Structure Clearing Workshop  

​

This course is designed specifically for Volunteer Security Teams, VSTs, operating in churches and similar facilities where movement goes well beyond the sanctuary. Most teams are trained to respond to threats in static locations—common areas, sanctuaries, or parking lots—but few are ever shown how to get to the fight, or how to lead people out through unfamiliar, uncleared spaces when things go bad.

 

We focus on how to move through your facility with intent. That includes hallway navigation, limited-penetration tactics, and how to make decisions when confronted with unknown spaces. If your team has to push down a hallway with five open doors, what do you do? Do you stop and clear every one? Shut them? Move past them? We’ll break down how to approach those problems efficiently—especially with limited manpower.

​

Most VSTs operate in small numbers. This course teaches how to move, communicate, and clear with the volunteers you actually have—not the team you wish you had.

​

This isn’t just about tactics—it’s about applying them effectively in the context of a dynamic environment where angles, corners, doors, and people (both threats and innocents) all factor into the decisions your team will have to make.

​

The day wraps with a low-light module focused on adapting those same movement and engagement principles when visibility drops.

​

We will operate in a sanitized training environment—no live weapons or ammunition allowed. Metal detectors will be in use.

*We provide all holsters and inert training pistols

 

Required Gear:
• Tactical flashlight
• Note-taking materials
• Sack lunch and hydration
• Clothing that doesn’t restrict movement
• Full-toe shoes
 

Course Fee: $200
Duration: 8 hours

The Castle Doctrine Series: Residential Search Tactics

When hiding isn't an option and help's too far away, you may have to move.

This 16-hour course covers solo interior movement and structure-clearing tactics for armed homeowners who need to get to the threat—or past it. It’s pistol-centric, includes a low-light module, and is designed for real-world application in the environments you live in.

​

Moving through your home with a gun is one thing—doing it while your family is scattered across bedrooms, hallways, or multiple floors is something else entirely. It changes how you think, how you move, and what you prioritize. We’ll cover when to push and when to hold, how to choose the right angles and routes, and how to manage backstop, over-penetration, and shot placement in tight, familiar spaces.

 

You’ll learn how to integrate a household plan, assign roles, select appropriate weapons and ammunition, navigate the 911 process, and safely link up with law enforcement after the threat is over. Then we’ll do it all again—with the lights off.

​

The course will be taught by myself and my friend, Five-O alumni and active SWAT team member/instructor, Austin Lopez.

 

Sanitized environment—no live weapons allowed. Metal detectors will be in use.
