⏱ Class Duration: 90 Minutes

⚠️ PREREQUISITE REQUIRED: Before attending this class, you MUST read the Advanced Class Guide. Reading the guide is not optional — it is essential to your self-defense education and ensures you arrive fully prepared.

Our most demanding pistol class. Advanced introduces drawing from the holster, emergency and tactical reloads, target transitions, lateral movement, and scripted shoot / no-shoot scenarios — under a shot timer, with the carry setup you actually use.

Prerequisites: Completion of both Basics and Intermediate (or equivalent, instructor-approved). You must own a rigid-mouth holster designed for your exact pistol, a sturdy gun belt, and have dry-practiced drawing from that setup at home before booking.

What you'll learn:

• The four-count defensive draw from concealment
• Emergency reloads (slide lock) and tactical (retention) reloads
• Two- and three-target transitions with eyes-first discipline
• The lateral step-off at the draw
• Shoot / no-shoot decision-making under instructor callouts
• Using a shot timer as a diagnostic, not a scoreboard
• A 100-round course of fire from 3 to 10 yards, plus dry-draw validation

What's included: Eye and ear protection, coaching, shot timer, written post-class feedback, and a customized 30-day practice plan. Bring your own pistol, holster, belt, cover garment, two or three magazines, a mag carrier, and 100 rounds of ammunition. Loaner equipment is not available for Advanced.

Duration: Approximately 3 hours on the range.
