Description:
This is a one day course at the range to build on the knowledge and skills acquired at the Defensive Handgun (DHI) I course.
Objectives:
The goals of this class are to review and practice the safety and marksmanship skills that you learned in DHI. In addition, we will teach you how to present your firearm from a concealed holster, how to apply marksmanship and situational awareness to defensive shooting, and how to reload and clear malfunctions to stay in the fight.
What to Expect:
This course will be taught in one day at the range. The course will be 9 hours with a 30 minute break for lunch. The prerequisite of this course is DHI. The round count will be 250-275 rounds.
Location and Cost:
Range time will be at one of the local shooting ranges. The course fee is $200.00 per student.
What to Bring:
Firearm:
Bring a heavy-duty semi-automatic handgun (no revolvers). The weapon must be fully functional, have all factory installed safety devices intact, and have no dangerous modifications such as a “hair” trigger less than 4 pounds, removed trigger guard, pinned grip safety, etc. Pocket pistols are not allowed. A suitable backup weapon is strongly recommended, as many weapons fail at some point during the training.
Holster:
Outside the waistband (OWB) worn on the firing (strong) side of the body at the point of the hip. The holster must cover the trigger guard and secure the weapon while moving. Your holster should not collapse when the weapon is removed. No inside the waistband (IWB), shoulder, fanny pack, cross draw, or thigh-rig holsters allowed. The BLACKHAWK SERPA HOLSTER or similar types with trigger finger release buttons are not allowed.

A minimum of 3 magazines (more is better especially if your magazines are single stack) and 2 single or 1 double magazine pouches are recommended. Magazines should be worn on the belt on the support side of the body.
Electronic hearing protection is mandatory.
Wrap around impact-resistant eye protection is mandatory.
Loose pants with a sturdy belt, a hat with a brim, comfortable closed-toe shoes or boots, and weather appropriate clothing is required. Open necked shirts or sleeve-less shirts are NOT recommended.
