Combat Pistol
| 27 March 2010
Pistol classes are taught one-on-one, in small groups, or large classes. The length of the class will vary according to the topics being taught and class size.
At Precision Applications, LLC, our Instructors collectively are Armorers for virtually every type of quality pistol and revolver on the market today. Not only will you learn how to properly deploy a handgun, you will learn the intricacies of your individual handgun from a factory-certified Armorer.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Selection, care and maintenance of the entire system, to include the handgun itself and its parts (grips, sights, small parts, etc.), holster, magazine pouch, belt, concealment systems, etc.

- Positional shooting
- Down-and-disabled shooting
- Lowlight/night fire
- Stress fire
