Not Just Gun Safety

handgun instruction at Urban Defense Academy

When people ask what we teach, they often assume it’s just about gun safety or getting a license to carry. While those are important, armed self-defense is so much more. We don’t just teach you how to shoot. We provide a complete program focused on real-world survival. Our goal is to build your core skills and muscle memory through repetitive practice, so your response in a high-pressure situation becomes second nature.

The Practical Pistol Course Series: Phase 1 is not just about gun safety.

Throughout our Practical Pistol Course Series, we place a strong emphasis on practical, foundational skills essential for responsible handgun use and self-defense. In Phase 1, we will intensively focus on:

  • Safety: The absolute priority in every aspect of firearm handling.
  • Equipment and Modes of Carry: Understanding your gear and safe carrying practices.
  • Loading and Unloading: Proficient and safe firearm manipulation.
  • Hands-on Manipulation: Developing practical control and dexterity with your pistol.
  • Proper Sighting Principles: Achieving precise aim.
  • Marksmanship Principles: Foundational techniques for accurate shooting.
  • Proper Shooting Postures: Stable and effective shooting positions.
  • Introduction to Overcoming Malfunctions: Basic problem-solving for firearm issues.

By developing these core skills, you’ll build a robust and reliable foundation for self-defense and set yourself up for success in Phases 2, 3, and 4.
