Tactical Pistol 1
This course is for the student that has little defensive experience with a pistol, or is looking to enhance those skills already learned.  This course re-iterates the skills learned in LMI’s Basic Pistol course but with more emphasis on speed, accuracy and gun handling skills.  It will introduce the student to tactical  pistol tactics and manipulating their pistol under pressure.  The shooter will be running and may even participate in jumping jacks which elevates the shooters heart rate.  This increased heart rate will expose the shooter to the realities similar to a real confrontation, forcing the shooter to experience what the body goes through, and how important the fundamentals are, and how important it is to have these skills deeply engrained.
All shooting is from concealment.  Topics include:
 
  1. ‣Greater accuracy in less time.
