Defensive Pistol 102 (DP102)

Defensive Pistol 102 builds on what you learned in DP101.

We will continue to review draw/holster, defensive shooting theory and techniques and continue to work with stress inoculation drills. Because firearms are mechanical objects which can fail, we will be working with common types of malfunctions that occur to both semi-autos and revolvers (Type1, Type 2, and Type 3).

By the end of this course, you will be well on your way to being able to reflexively fix firearms malfunctions.  Both revolvers and semi-autos can be used in the course. There is a recommended amount of ammo needed for the course. HOWEVER, availability and cost concerns, bring what you can afford to shoot. The important thing is the repetitions of the motions and not making the gun go “Bang”.

Prerequisite: Must have attended DP101 or similar course. Contact instructor if you are unsure.

Please bring:

• Functioning, modern, centerfire,  firearm
• Magazines (minimum 3), or if yous hoot a revolver, a Revolver Speedloaders (revolvers- minimum 4)
• A way to carry a magazine or a revolver speedloader on your belt
• 150- 200 rounds of ammo.  Bring what you can afford to shoot.  The most important thing is the training, not the “Bang”
• Hard sided holster- no trigger finger locks (Ex. Serpa) (Safariland OK)  This is a non-negotiable safety requirement.  If you show up with inappropriate gear, you will be dismissed from class with NO REFUNDS.  Ask about your gear before class.
• An appropriate “concealed carry” type belt (not a cop’s “Duty belt”).  We prefer the KORE. You don’t want a belt that stretches.
• Eye Protection- This is a non-negotiable safety requirement.  If you show up with inappropriate gear, you will be dismissed from class with NO REFUNDS.  Ask about your gear before class.
• Electronic hearing protection.  We prefer the Howard Leight Impact Sport models, but there are plenty other brands out there.  only 3 loaners are available and must be reserved on a “first come, first served” basis.  This is a non-negotiable safety requirement.  If you show up with inappropriate gear, you will be dismissed from class with NO REFUNDS.  Ask about your gear before class.
• A Brimmed Hat- this keeps the brass from going behind your glasses.  This is a non-negotiable safety requirement.  If you show up with inappropriate gear, you will be dismissed from class with NO REFUNDS.  Ask about your gear before class.
