Defensive Pistol 202 (DP202)

Defensive Pistol 202 is a class designed for the continued development of basic concealed carry /Defensive Pistol skills.

In order to be eligible for attendance in this class, you must have successfully completed a formal concealed carry course such as NRA CCW, CDC’s Intro to Defensive Firearms/Defensive Pistol series, DSI Tier 4 Handgun Combatives class, CDT’s Basic Concealed Carry Handgun series, USCCA’s instructor led course, Absolute Dynamic’s Level 1 pistol course, VinCo’s Gunfighter courses, etc.  Contact Dave Chang if you have eligibility questions.  It is strongly recommended that you have attended DP201,

We will continue to work on speed to presentation and various engagement distances. We will continue to reinforce your ability to clear malfunctions under stress. We will continue to work alternate shooting positions and we will work on “impaired shooter” drills including hand transitions, one handed reloading, firing, malfunction clearances etc.  We will also introduce stress inoculation drills.  We will begin to work from “non-traditional” shooting positions that lead directly to application in “real life”.

Ammo count: bring what you can afford to shoot- even if it’s 150 rounds, recommended 400 rounds
This class includes both dry and live fire exercises.  All instruction will be on the range.

Please bring:

• Functioning, modern, centerfire,  firearm
• Magazines (minimum 4), or if you shoot a revolver, a Revolver Speedloaders (revolvers- minimum 5).  Bring as many as you can. Don’t be the person who the entire classis waiting on to load their magazines.
• A way to carry a magazine or a revolver speedloader on your belt
• 150- 400 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 (Example: 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.
• No nylon holsters like Uncle Mike’s. 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.
