Pistol Training Colorado

01
Pistol One — Safety & Foundations

4-hour session · Beginner · No prerequisite

The Four Safety Rules, pistol function and operation, grip and stance fundamentals, sight alignment, trigger press, loading, and clearing malfunctions. Your complete foundation.

02
Pistol Two — Draw, Movement & Defense

4-hour session · Entry-Intermediate · Prereq: Pistol One

Drawing from a holster, lateral and diagonal movement with a pistol, cover vs. concealment, and decision-making under pressure — threat ID, verbal commands, and shoot/no-shoot scenarios.

03
Pistol Three — Fighting from Concealment

5+ hours · Advanced · Prereq: Pistol One & Two + CCW Certification

Maneuvering under stress, active threat response, communication with 911 and officers (ALERRT protocol), Colorado use-of-force law, and self-defense insurance — the complete concealed carry operator course.

04
The 3-Level Progression

Each course builds directly on the last. Take them individually or complete the full series to go from zero to confident, legally-informed concealed carrier. Courses can be taken in any order that meets prerequisites — our instructors will guide you to the right starting point.
