Prerequisites: Students must possess a valid CCW license or Law Enforcement Credentials.

The T3 Defensive Handgun Series is the next step for CCW holders who are ready to begin their journey into the world of tactical training. The state mandated CCW training just scratches the surface- we pick up where they leave off. It's also a great course for Law Enforcement Officers to brush up on their shooting skills. 

T3's Defensive Handgun is a 24 hour program that is broken into 3 levels:

• Defensive Handgun Level 1 (8 hours)
• Defensive Handgun Level 2 (8 hours)
• Defensive Handgun Level 3 (8 hours)

The focus of these classes is on Marksmanship and Gun Handling Skills. We maximize the student's ability to deliver rapid, accurate hits with the handgun. Defensive Handgun also covers weapons presentation, ready positions, loading/unloading, multiple targets, emergency/administrative reloads, status checks, malfunction clearances, alternate shooting positions, concealed drawstroke, movement, and more.

Upon completion of the Defensive Handgun Series, the student will have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of combat marksmanship.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of T3 Defensive Handgun or equivalent

Advanced Defensive Handgun begins with a quick review of the "basics" and adds some more advanced tactical skills to the toolbox. Students need to have a solid grasp of the material in the Defensive Handgun Series prior to enrolling in the Advanced classes.

Advanced  Defensive Handgun is a 16 hour program that is broken into 2 levels:

• Advanced Defensive Handgun Level 1 (8 hours)

In addition to the fundamental skills under tighter time/accuracy constraints, this class covers tactical movement, single handed shooting and manipulations, weapon retention/counter-retention, contact distance shooting, flashlight techniques, team tactics, target identification, backup guns, and more. The class culminates with Force on Force exercises using non-lethal Airsoft or Simunitions that pull all of these skills together.
