The Urban Experience: Three-Day Pistol Course

The Ultimate Pistol Performance Capstone.

This firearms training course serves as the capstone of a structured curriculum, bringing together the full spectrum of skills developed throughout the Urban Pistol courses. Designed for dedicated students who have successfully completed Holster Draw and are approved to Fast Track to this level, the class fortifies the essential knowledge, marksmanship, and tactical applications into an intensive multi-day experience. Students will reinforce what they’ve learned in Holster Draw and receive all instruction, skill builders, and drills covered in Urban Pistol 1, 2, and 3. By the end of the program, participants who meet the performance standards and pass the course performance evaluation/qualification will have earned the benefits and recognition of completing the entire training curriculum, demonstrating not only technical proficiency but also the judgment, consistency, and confidence expected of a fully capable and well-rounded shooter.

Note: Students failing to meet and maintain our safety requirements and/or who cannot meet and immediately demonstrate the minimum handgun skills required for this class may be removed from training. Please read the class description and fully understand our prerequisites before registering.  Although topics are relatable in some of the lessons and drills performed during these training days, this does not replace the specialty courses like Draw from Concealment, Red Dot and Low/No Light.
