Most classes have you sit, watch, then finally get to shoot.

This one doesn’t.

You’ll be on the range from the start—running drills, getting real reps, and building skills that actually hold up under pressure.

“Each concept was explained and demoed clearly—and I never felt left behind.”

“I’m not an expert shooter, and I left feeling confident and in control.”

What is Defensive Handgun?

This is a one-day, hands-on course for people who want to get better at actually running their gun.

Whether you carry daily or just want to be more capable with your handgun, the focus is the same: real performance on demand.

You’ll build a deliberate draw, move with purpose, and learn to solve problems under pressure—not just stand in a lane and shoot.

It’s practical, focused training designed to make you more capable by the end of the day.

By the end of the day, you’ll be able to:

• Draw from the holster with purpose
• Move off the "X" and shoot with intention
• Reload and clear malfunctions under pressure
• Transition between targets with speed and accuracy
• Run your pistol with repeatable, deliberate mechanics—even under stress

How This Class Is Run:

• Everything is taught, demonstrated, and immediately applied on the range.
• Each skill is broken down step-by-step, then built back up through structured reps.
• You’re not just running drills—you’re applying what you’re learning and improving with each repetition.
• You’re coached through each piece so you’re not guessing what’s working and what’s not.

What Students Are Saying:

“You challenged all of my bad habits.”

“Even advanced shooters will get something out of this.”

“I’m not an advanced shooter, and I never felt left behind.”

“Relaxed environment, but still serious training.”

“My confidence completely changed after this class.”

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone serious about running their handgun—not just owning one.

Whether you’re newer and want to start the right way, or more experienced and want more than static range drills, the focus is the same: building real, usable skill.

You should already be able to safely handle your firearm, load it, and follow basic range safety practices.

• If you can do that, we’ll build from there.

“I absolutely would recommend a Code 7 class whether someone is a beginner shooter, intermediate shooter, or advanced shooter.”
