Guardian Pistol
Guardian Pistol is a 3 part training program for anyone who wants to develop their defensive handgun shooting skills.
This Guardian Pistol curriculum is a simple and effective way of developing a defensive-oriented skill set with a handgun. Designed for all shooters of any age who want to be prepared for self-defense encounters. Traditionally students take the 3 courses back-to-back in a 3-day format. Newer shooters with solid fundamentals that work hard will have no problem getting through the program. Experienced shooters will also benefit from the methodical approach to fundamentals but will also be really challenged.

Guardian Essentials - Pistol (Level 1)
Required Prerequisite: Basic Handgun / CCW Course
This course is called Guardian Essentials because it introduces to the student the essential skills needed to carry a firearm and use it in self-defense. In Guardian Essentials students are taught skills such as target presentation, trigger manipulation, drawing from a holster, use of cover, reloading, malfunction clearing, shooting while moving and more. Students establish the proper habits and fundamental techniques in an all-day live-fire course. Students leave with a strong clarity of what they need to practice and how to strengthen those shooting skills. 
(Appx 400 rounds of ammunition)
Guardian Standards - Pistol (Level 2)
Required Prerequisite: Guardian Essentials - Pistol
This course is called Guardian Standards because we introduce to students a series of standards that will help them build off of what they learned in the Guardian Essentials course. In Guardian Standards students go deeper on core shooting skills and combine those essentials with the complexity of a dynamic shooting environment. Through a variety of drills and exercises students further build on the foundation of essentials necessary to engrain the correct muscle memory in an all-day live-fire course. 
(Appx 400 rounds of ammunition)
Guardian BreakThru - Pistol (Level 3)
Required Prerequisite: Guardian Standards - Pistol
This course is called Guardian BreakThru because students will break through the plateau most shooters get stuck in, ultimately moving past the core shooting skills and beginning the journey of advanced, more rigorous and complex shooting. It is the culmination of combining all the shooting skills together to ensure students can maximize the odds of a positive outcome in any environment. Students will leave the course fully confident that no matter the threats they are fully prepared for a positive outcome in a gunfight. This course is an all-day live-fire course. 
(Appx 400 rounds of ammunition)

      Frequently Asked Questions
      Do I have to be a member of Guardian Nation to take a Guardian Pistol Course?
      No! Guardian Nation is a wonderful community of dedicated self-defense shooters who enjoy a number of member only benefits but anyone may enroll in a Guardian Pistol course.
      I'm not sure if I am qualified to take these courses. How do I know?
      Guardian Essentials is for beginners but isn't designed to teach you how to load your firearm, or other basic firearm operation. If you feel comfortable going to a gun range, loading your firearm, and shooting at a target then this is for you. If you need someone to show you how to load and fire your handgun then contact us or any other qualified instructor and get those basic things ironed out.
      I normally carry in an Ankle/Bra/Thigh/Crossdraw holster. Why can't I use these in the class?
      This class is fast pace. We move quickly through a lot of the shooting and material and drawing from those positions will slow down the class even if you do it correctly and safely. If you would like to bring that holster there may be times in the class where it would be appropriate to run certain drills from that holster but be sure to bring it as a secondary holster.
      My carry gun is listed as "not-preferred." Why?
      Smaller handguns with very low capacity will slow you down in this class. You will have to reload the firearm more often and will have to stop the class to reload your magazines more often. In addition these micro-guns are less accurate and more difficult to shoot which in turn makes it harder to learn shooting skills using those guns. If you would like to bring that gun there may be times in the class where it would be appropriate to run certain drills with that gun but be sure to bring it as a secondary firearm.
      I need to borrow some gear. What will that cost?
      Please contact us at https://www.concealedcarry.com/contact and let us know what you need. We don't want anyone to be unable to take the class due to not having the right gun/gear so we will work with you on it. Bear in mind however that using your own gear gives you a chance to put it to the test and build muscle memory with that gun/gear and is thus preferable to borrowing/renting something.
