Combative Pistol Skills, Two-Day

Saturday-Sunday, 9am-6pm

This is an intensive weekend course that covers all of the essential skills involved in fighting with a handgun. There is an all day session Saturday and Sunday, 9:00am to 6:00pm.

Topics covered in this course will include:

• Rapid presentation from concealed carry

• Effective gun handling techniques, designed to work under stress

• Rapid reloading techniques

• High speed accuracy at close ranges

• Precision shooting at mid-ranges

• Shooting effectively with one hand, with either hand

• Fixing malfunctions rapidly and reliably

• Proper defensive mindset, personal tactics, and more.

Expect to fire about 500-600 rounds of ammunition. This course is designed expressly for the armed citizen who carries a concealed handgun, or the plain clothes or off duty police officer.

You will need a good handgun, holster, belt, and magazine pouch, at least three magazines, a ball cap and concealment garment (vest, jacket, windbreaker, over shirt, polo shirt, etc), eye and ear protection, and rain gear (we train rain or shine). A cooler with soft drinks, water, snacks and lunch will be needed, for lunch on site. We will not be leaving the campus for lunch.

You will need a quality handgun and gear. It is a good idea to bring a second gun just like your primary, in case something breaks on your primary gun. Please bring good quality ammunition. You will shoot better, your gun will function better, and you will learn faster. Leather or kydex holsters are fine—PLEASE NO flimsy nylon or cloth holsters. AIWB is allowed. Either IWB or OWB holsters are fine, as long as they are worn concealed.

Your primary instructor will be Aqil Qadir, of Rangemaster. Aqil is a retired police officer who has been conducting training since 1993. He has been on the Rangemaster staff since 2009.

Full refunds are available until 30 days prior to class date. There are NO REFUNDS later than 30 days before class date.

  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.
