course description
As a firearms training provider, we have a duty of care to ensure that everyone who steps foot on our ranges or takes part in our classes is safe, competent and proficient, in the use of a pistol and they do not pose a danger to us, others or themselves.
As a new gun owner or someone who is considering purchasing a pistol for the first time, you have a moral responsibility to learn how to safely, responsibly and competently, use that firearm, in order to defend yourself and your family. Anything less is putting you and them, in more danger.
The class covers:
- Safety (including the use of ear/eye-pro)
- Internal Function & Firing Sequence (what happens when the trigger is pulled)
- Functions of the relevant parts of the pistol (e.g. what this part is/does/is used for)
- Maintenance/stripping/assembling/cleaning (how to clean, understanding the internal components of your pistol)
- Sight Picture/Point of Aim
- Stance, Grip & Trigger pull
- Load/Unload
- Basic malfunctions (empty magazine, magazine not fitted correctly)
- Holster selection discussion
- Individual safety & competence assessment
The aim of this class is to get you to the necessary standard required to progress onto the Defensive Pistol 1. In order to ensure that you have reached that standard, at the end of the class, each participant will be put through a 10-min individual assessment. The purpose of that assessment is to check your competency on safe handling and to ensure you have a good understanding of how your pistol works and how to maintain it.
Once this assessment is passed, then you will be eligible to progress onto the Defensive Pistol 1 class.
Individuals who fail the assessment, will be given a second attempt to pass. If they fail the second attempt, then they will have the opportunity to take 1-to-1 training with us, in order to bring them up to the level where they can pass the assessment. This will be explained and discussed with your instructor during the class.
Course Requirements
> The Intro to Pistol class will take place in a classroom setting from 9am to 1pm.
