What is Women's Pistol 1?

-

        In answer to the questions about what is involved in the women's courses, we will start with Women's Pistol 1, and then delve into Women's Pistol 2.

        In Women's Pistol 1, we go over safety, firearm safety, and personal safety.  You will also learn handgun anatomy, handgun action types, and how they function.  You will also learn about ammunition components and we compare training rounds to defensive rounds.  You will also learn basic marksmanship skills to get you on paper, explain the differences between marksmanship skills vs defensive skills, or defensive accuracy, and how to obtain a blend of the two without giving up accuracy.  

    In Women's Pistol 1, we also show you on your firearm how to dismantle and clean it when you are done training with your cleaning kit or ours.  You may order one when you sign up by contacting us through email or phone. 

        In Women's Pistol 2, you will learn more safety tips, firearm and personal.  In this course, you will learn how to properly draw your pistol from concealment. You will also learn in this course an introduction to the defense of property vs defense of self and a loved one, the 5 constants that must remain during a defensive stand, and how to shoot multiple targets along with transitioning from one target to another, one-handed shooting is introduced as well. 

As you can see, we move you along the pace it should take you as long as you have down the fundamentals, you should be able to acquire the skills necessary to move along to the defensive series off the x, low light introduction, typically held the same days as these courses with a 3 hour break to get dinner, see family, etc.

Carry one in the Chamber? If not, you could be setting yourself up for disaster!

 Have you ever put the seatbelt on during an accident?  Well, that would be the case of having a full magazine with no round in the chamber.  How do you get used to carrying a firearm?  Well, for one, you can start by carrying one on you in the comfort of your own home, getting used to sitting, walking, using the restroom, etc.   Carry it on your person as if you were in public, careful not to bring attention to it by touching it all the time, adjusting your pants, etc.   Conceal it the best way you can, and find the right tools to do so by looking at comfortable, sturdy options, a leather-backed holster with Kydex formed to fit your firearm brings you all-day comfort.  I chose Crossbreed Holsters for my main concealed carry holster option.   I also use other types of holsters for how I dress. There are good options out there, but finding one for your needs is a task for you and you alone. I, nor anyone else can tell you what works best for you and eventually, you will have a drawer o

Where do we start you off?  If you tell me you have been shooting and have taken classes before, we ask which ones and which affiliation have you taken them from. NRA? USCCA? Brand X, or BIG BOX INDOOR RANGE PLACE?  I have typically 2 basic courses for anyone to start out at, even as a refresher for those who have been shooting and taught by a friend or family member, trust me, you will learn something here that they could not have taught you unless they took a class with us and remembered everything we teach, or they themselves have been a firearms instructor and know what I know.  I have been to many instructors/schools/training facilities and know what they do not teach.  -prices shown are at the time of this article, prices may have increased due to rising costs- Pistol Fundamentals, or Women's Pistol Fundamentals-  $175 6-hour course 1) Safety Rules, 2) Handgun Anatomy 3) Action Types 4) Ammunition types/storage 5) Sight Alignment 6) Trigger Cycle 7) Gear & Gadgets 8) Rang

  House of Worship Training How is your House of Worship Team's Health? Are they trained to do more than look for an active shooter?  Where is the focus on the security for your congregation, youth groups, and leaders? Do they do ongoing training with a Certified Instructor?  Do you have enough Volunteers for your Greeter/Usher/Security Team? Do you have armed security?  Have they qualified with a Firearms Instructor for Insurance Purposes? Are they Insured in the event they need to use their firearm?  Personally Insured or does the House of Worship Insurance Cover these volunteers?  At Shamar's Shield, a division of Gunpowder & Lead Firearms Training, we help re-establish the Greeter/Security/Usher Team, and make it manageable.  We offer a few programs.  1) Ongoing Training for 1 year, including 4 In-person HOW training, 26 Zoom meetings for your team to train on subjects, 2 days at the range and 2 days in the HOW for Reality-Based Training utilizing SIRT (inert weapons),
