Master Firearms Instructor Development Course

Graduates of both our Instructor Development Course and the Advanced Instructor Development Course are eligible to attend this intensive three-day learning experience.

Classroom academic training in this course includes an in-depth study of the history and development of modern firearms training in its first 100 years, from 1920 to 2020. Over 40 individuals and their contributions, and a number of watershed events are detailed in this lecture. Other classroom segments include:

Evolution of Holster Design; and

Double-Action Revolver history and effective techniques for their use.

Range work includes almost a full day learning to use the double-action revolver effectively, working mirror image (left handed for a right handed shooter), and more advanced skills with the EDC handgun.

Students will also lead the class through a shooting drill, explaining its purpose and its execution, then live fire.

You will need about 750 rounds for your EDC sidearm, 200 rounds for the revolver, and the usual range gear. As always, we supply an extensive manual/workbook.

Tom Givens

  After a 25-year career in law enforcement and specialized security work, Tom opened his own pistol range in Memphis, TN in 1996.  For 18 years, it was the primary source of handgun carry permit certification for the greater Memphis area.  Soon joined by his wife Lynn, the training duo formed Rangemaster Firearms Training Services to share their expertise with a much broader audience.  They now travel across the country and around the world to arm responsible citizens with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively protect themselves and their families.

Tom is certified as a law enforcement firearms instructor by the NRA, the FBI, and the state of Tennessee, and he serves as an expert witness all over the US in cases involving firearms and firearms training. He holds a Master rating in three IDPA Divisions (CDP, ESP and SSP) and has won several state and regional championships. Tom has written well over 100 published magazine articles in SWAT Magazine, Combat Handguns, The American Handgunner and other publications.
