Our Pistol Basics class is hosted by NRA certified instructors that will provide you with a overview of handgun operation and ownership. The class meets on Saturdays from 11am to approximately 8pm. During the class, many topics revolving around handgun ownership, operation, and proficiency will be discussed. This class is a great introduction to owning, using, and carrying a handgun for protection/self defense practices. The class will start with getting you familiar to the crucial safety surrounding handguns, and how they operate. From there, the class will dive into some of the basic and broad legalities of both handgun ownership and the use of a handgun in a self defense encounter within the State of Colorado. After some training on proper stance and grip for handgun operation, we will move down to the range and practice some live fire shooting with some newly acquired skills. To pass the class, you will need to obtain a passing score on our proficiency test/target to obtain your CCW Training certificate for the State of Colorado. All training in this class conforms with the current Colorado Revised Statues regarding self defense and handgun permit.
