Pistol 3 Advanced

Pistol 3: Advanced Defensive Pistol

Strip it down. Push the standard. Chase mastery.

This isn’t about gimmicks or gear. This is where we take it back to what matters—accuracy, speed, and performance under pressure. The first half of the day is a test of your fundamentals pushed to the limit with timed performance standards that expose both strengths and weaknesses. If you're serious about growth, this is where it gets real. The greatest skill you can possess in a gunfight is accurate rounds at speed.

Then we take it off the flat range. The second half of the day runs force-on-force scenarios, shifting the focus to timing, weapon retention, and judgment under realistic stress. This is where performance meets consequence—and sets the stage for future retention-focused training.

Course includes:
Timed performance standards and diagnostic drills
Force-on-force scenario training
Individual feedback and evaluation
