Attending a defensive handgun course is crucial for building confidence in carrying a firearm, ensuring safe and effective deployment if needed. These courses also help identify equipment weaknesses under stress and improve overall shooting proficiency, especially in critical skills like drawing from concealment.

What are some challenges to expect in a multi-day handgun course?

Challenges in a multi-day handgun course can include adapting to different firearm controls (like slide and magazine releases), managing DA/SA trigger systems, and dealing with environmental factors such as heat. These courses are designed to push shooters and their equipment to identify areas for improvement.

How does environmental stress affect firearm training?
