Defensive Pistol Program

Master Real‑World Defensive Skills

 

The Defensive Pistol Program (DPP) is a progressive, multi‑level curriculum designed to help responsible gun owners build the skills, mindset and confidence needed to prevail in a defensive encounter. Unlike one‑off workshops, DPP combines classroom instruction, weekly live‑fire range modules and a final assessment, giving you a structured path from basic defensive marksmanship to single‑handed malfunctions and real‑world defensive responses.​

What You’ll Need

 

Bring a sturdy belt, a handgun with three magazines, a quality concealed‑carry holster, a magazine holster, ear and eye protection, closed‑toed shoes and a brimmed hat. If you need to borrow gear, let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate.​

 

Ready to Train?

 

This program is designed for shooters who already understand basic gun safety and want to develop advanced defensive skills. Seats are limited to maintain a high instructor‑to‑student ratio. Reserve your spot today and take the next step toward becoming a confident, competent defender.
