NTC – Low Light Handgun

Low Light Pistol (One day 6-8 hours)

Fighting in a diminished light capacity is nothing short of difficult.  In the modern world, there are low lite areas even in broad daylight. These shadows and dark spots are a prime location for an adversary to attack you. Proper identification is an integral part of any armed encounter.  The use of a light will assist with that proper identification in periods of darkness. We will teach you the core skills of working with a pistol and multiple kinds of flashlights.  We will help you become proficient with your chosen handgun and your chosen light.  We will discuss and demonstrate the benefits and the problems of multiple different handgun techniques while deploying a handheld flashlight or weapon mounted light.  We will go over the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and show you as you use them and how they can help you and hinder you.  This course is based on hundreds of hours in the field with just the use of illumination devices.  We will NOT be using night vision optics in this course. A shooting and manipulation qualification will be held prior to being able to shoot in this course. Defensive Handgun 1 or an equivalent certification is required to attend this course! (MINIMUM ROUND COUNT – 300 rounds)

Because of the limited ammo supply you will be able to shoot this course with a quality Airsoft Gun.  Contact us to verify if yours is approved.
