OPTIC SIGHTED PISTOL GUNFIGHTING
SEPTEMBER 23-25, 2022 - PRESCOTT, AZ
Instructor: Gabriel Suarez
We taught the first red dot combat pistol ever taught in 2010. Building upon skills learned from a decade of work with red dots on carry pistols, we present a comprehensive course of training covering every aspect of this concept. From close range work to precise terrorist interdiction skills, you will expand your abilities with this weapon platform in both reactive and proactive realms. The class includes material we presented to Law Enforcement Counter Terror Units to prepare them to successfully interdict an actual terrorist in a large public venue. We include everything from mentally getting to the shot, the legal justification strategies necessary, avoiding blue-on-blue friendly fire incidents, as well as the all-important first contact with first responders. And all throughout, the extensive focus on rapid surgical gunfire, often while moving, and through obstacles and past crowds to eliminate the shooter and his ability to continue killing. We will include qualification courses from vary high level agencies as well to test your skills against the professionals.
