Defensive Pistol Classes:
Holster Skills
One of the most important skills to master after getting your CCL is how to effectively and efficiently draw and fire your pistol from the holster. We have divided our holster skills classes into three levels. Level 1 focuses on practicing a proper draw from multiple holster types with training guns. Level 2 focuses primarily on drawing and firing from a hip holster. Level 3 takes all this to the next level and focuses mostly on appendix carry factors.
