This class is a 6-hour expanded semi-auto pistols version of the popular training classes I’ve conducted at the Rangemaster Tactical Conference and other conferences under the titles of Snub Revolver Skills and Small Pistols; “Practical Practice with Pocket Poppers”.
This training will explore the carry and use of these small handguns as EDC or back-up carry guns, the non-standard techniques often needed to run these small handguns efficiently and effectively, and the important differences in how they need to be run vs full sized handguns.
Topics covered will include:
-Grip, weapon handling, marksmanship, sighting and trigger control, maximum effective range
-Reloads
-Malfunction clearing
-Ammunition selection, wound ballistics and Tactical Anatomy to maximize the effectiveness of these small guns. A ballistic gelatin demonstration shoot will be conducted as part of this class.
-Primary and alternate carry methods, such as inside the waistband, belly bands, appendix carry, ankle carry, pocket carry, off body carry.
-Students need to supply range gear (hearing and eye protection, etc.), a safe, drop safe, and functional handgun, 250 rounds of ammunition for centerfire handguns, 300 for rimfire handguns, a safe method of carry for their handgun. Students may bring more than one handgun and switch between them if they so choose if they want to get practice in with more than one.
I am often asked “What do you mean by small handguns?”. Well, this depends on the hand size of the shooter. “Small handguns” are those that are enough smaller than service sized guns that alternated techniques need to be used to run them effectively. The list includes but is not limited to guns such as Glock 26, 42 and 43, Sig 365, Ruger LCP, etc.
Safe and reliable rimfire handguns, such as the Beretta 21, or .22lr versions of the LCP, etc., would also be appropriate for this class.
