Defensive Handgun Training

Four Rules for Safety: Handgun Tip

1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.

2. Never let the muzzle cover (point at) anything you’re not willing to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you’re ready to shoot.

4. Be sure of your target and what in line with your target (before and after your target).

Dry Practice

Many competitive shooters do most of their practice dry. Handgun training is about muscle memory and repetition. Our motions need to be automatic so our brains can be free to process the threat and help us manage the situation instead of thinking about safely drawing your weapon.
