Description:

The Basic Handgun Defense Level 1 course is designed for people who have some beginner level experience with a handgun but want to start on the right path for defensive preparedness. The goal of the class is to get students shooting safely, consistently and with focus on good self-defense habits. All shooting drils in this course are shot from the ready position. For those that have no experience at all with handguns, we recommend Intro to Handgun.

Learning Objectives:

One and two hand point shooting
Basics of sighted fire
Reloads and malfunction clearance
A slight amount of entry level movement while shooting
The course includes one hour or more of classroom and dry practice.

88 Tactical recruits and retains the industry’s most experienced instructor cadre from the special operations military, law enforcement, and fire and rescue – many of whom continue to serve today. All 88 Tactical training courses are built on the core concept of Reality Behavior-Based Conditioning© (RBBC). RBBC was developed from this maxim: “the study of behavior is as important as the study of tactics.” 88 Tactical courses condition an appropriate crisis response that maximizes performance while working with, instead of against, a person’s survival-oriented instincts and intuitions.
