Pistol Training

A complete handgun curriculum — from the very first time you pick up a pistol through defensive, real-world level skill. Choose the course that matches where you are today.

Handgun Program

Four Courses. One Clear Path Forward.

Whether you just bought your first pistol, want to build the confidence to carry it every day, or need your annual LEOSA qualification, every class is private or small-group, hands-on, and led personally by Frank. A rental pistol is available if you don’t yet own one.
