Note: If you are seeking to get certified for Concealed Carry, and you have previous handgun experience (on a scale of 0-10, above a 5) it is recommended you sign up for the Pistol 2 course instead of Pistol 1. Both are certification courses, but Pistol 2 is more focused on situational awareness/mindset/aftermath, and all live fire is done out of holster.
Pistol 1 (Basic Pistol & Concealed Carry Cert)
This course is for beginning shooters seeking to apply for their Concealed Handgun Permit.
You will learn basic handgun safety, rules for owning and storing, pistol parts and operation, shooting fundamentals, Colorado gun laws and resources, range rules and commands and more. You will engage in a fun course of fire as well as a shooting qualification on the range.
This course is a great starting point and will have you shooting confidently, even if you’ve never shot a
handgun before!
This course is 4 +/- hours long, 2.5 +/- hours in the classroom and 1.5 +/- hour on the range. (Please don’t plan on a hard stop at 5:00 pm.
