Pistol Courses
We never know when evil will come knocking on our door, so when it comes to defending yourself in your home or in public most people most often choose the handgun as their primary weapon. Why? The handgun continues to be the one of the most purchased home and personal defense weapons because they allow you to maneuver in narrow hallways and other confined spaces, plus they are highly concealable and easily accessible when needed. Additionally, they can be fired with one hand, leaving your other hand free to operate doors, flashlights, and assist others which are vital during a defensive encounter with a criminal threat.
The reality is, there is no single shooting platform that meets the needs of every home or individual, but the handgun is as close as it gets. The best weapon in a defensive encounter with a criminal threat is the one you have, not the one you wish you had. If you are confident in its use and comfortable carrying it, then you will carry it all the time.
To gain the confidence and comfort with your handgun requires you to train realistically with it. You must be familiar with its functionality in all conditions and be accurate with your shots. This comes from regular firearms training on your own and under direct observation with a Latent Force instructor. Confidence and proper use are gained over time and lots of practice. We have designed our progressive Latent Force Pistol classes to allow shooters of all skill levels to constantly test and enhance their shooting skills.
Remember, the self-defense tools you have between your ears are far more important than the gun and gear you buy. Training must be considered in the purchase price of your gun, because during your defensive encounter is not the time to try or learn anything new.
