GET TRAINED. BE READY.

Defensive Pistol/Carbine Integrated Skills Course

This immersive two-day training experience is built for anyone who wants to step up their protector game—whether you're part of a Church Safety or Security Team, a School Resource Officer, a Commissioned Security Officer, Law Enforcement, or a responsibly armed citizen who refuses to freeze when things go bad.

Our Intuitive Defensive® Pistol / Carbine course blends handgun and rifle training into one high-impact weekend. You’ll get hands-on reps, real-world scenarios, and a practical understanding of how your mind and body react under stress—because in a Dynamic Critical Incident, you won’t rise to the moment… you’ll fall back on your training.

Across two days, you’ll dive into:

• Intuitive Defensive Shooting
• Defensive Accuracy under pressure
• The Balance of Speed & Precision
• How your body actually reacts in chaos
• Lateral movement and getting off the X
• Additional pistol and carbine concepts as time allows

This course gives you a solid foundation in Counter Ambush skills, efficient defensive shooting, and a clear blueprint for continued training. Whether you’re brand new or highly experienced, you’ll learn to run both platforms—handgun and semi-auto rifle—with confidence, efficiency, and purpose.

What You'll Train On:

• Intuitive Shooting Fundamentals
• The Balance of Speed & Precision
• Critical Incident Reloads
• Defensive Accuracy
• Volume of Fire (when & why it matters)
• Shooting Around Cover
• Positional Shooting
• Four Points of Contact with a Rifle
• Clearing Basic Carbine Malfunctions
• Carbine ↔ Pistol Transitions
• Bonus skill blocks as time allows

***********************

After thoughtful consideration, we are prohibiting all Sig P320 variants in our training classes.

We regret doing this, but as issues continue to be documented by the US Military and the FBI, along with other reliable sources, we feel a responsibility to ensure safety and mitigate liability on this particular platform in our classes until such time the potential issues have been resolved by the manufacturer.
