PISTOL 101: DEFENSIVE PISTOL FUNDAMENTALS

4.5-Hour Focused Group Class • $200 • Max 4 Students

Build the foundation that everything else is built on.

This is not another crowded range day. This is a focused, high-coach-ratio session designed to give you rock-solid, instinctive skills you can actually rely on when it matters.

You train with only 3 other students and one dedicated instructor. You get real-time corrections, personalized coaching, and a proven classical training system rooted in the same principles that built American liberty in 1775 — precision, discipline, and personal responsibility.

What You Get

• 4.5 hours of professional, hands-on defensive pistol training
• 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio (maximum 4 students)
• Immediate feedback and corrections on every rep
• A complete printed student manual with mindset rules, drill sheets, home program, and gear checklist
• Priority registration for Pistol 102

What to Expect on Class Day

Class Schedule (4.5 Hours)

Three Core Pillars We Master:

• Mindset — Graham’s Combat Killhouse Rules + the “True Believer” philosophy. Mental preparation that turns training into real capability.
• Marksmanship — High grip, natural point of aim, clean presentation, trigger control, and accuracy-first fundamentals. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
• Manipulation — Safe loading, deliberate speed reloads, and weapon handling under pressure (dry-fire heavy).

Proven Training Flow Every skill is introduced and perfected in dry-fire first, then reinforced with live-fire. Dry-fire reps are placed between every live-fire string so the muscle memory actually sticks. This is the same method used by elite units — days of dry-fire for training, weeks and months for real-world missions.

Live-Fire Progression We start at 9 feet in a tight 4×4 inch box. You only move back when your hits are consistent and accurate. No rushing. No fluff. Just deliberate, measurable progress.

Safety & Realism 9mm focus with real defensive emphasis. Everything we do is built for the real world — not competition games or Hollywood tactics.
