Pistol II Course

Pistol II: The Capable Operator

Duration: 1.5 to 2 Hours

Level: Intermediate / Pistol I Graduate

Take full control of your firearm and your responsibilities.

Pistol II transitions you from a supervised student to a self-sufficient operator. This course focuses on the practical skills every owner needs to manage their firearm under real-world conditions. You’ll learn to clear common jams, perform efficient reloads, and maintain your equipment like a professional. Once the fundamentals are solid, the Pistol II course shifts the focus toward consistency and independence. This stage moves beyond "how to shoot" into "how to manage" the firearm.

• Core Skills: Emergency malfunction clearing, stance optimization, and a hands-on field stripping and lubrication workshop.

• Refining the Stance: Explore basic shooting stances (i.e Isosceles / Weaver / Modified Weaver).

• Loading and Unloading: Masterful manipulation of magazines, slide locks, and cylinders without violating safety rules.

• Live Fire Grouping: The goal shifts from merely hitting the target to achieving "tight groups".

• Gun Cleaning & Care: Step-by-step field stripping, inspection for wear, lubrication, and reassembly.

• Safe Firearm Storage: Discussion of safe storage options within the home.

• NJ-Compliant Transport, ensuring you stay on the right side of the law while moving between your home and the range.

*Includes:  Firearm Rental, 50 rounds of Ammunition, and Targets

The Outcome: You will gain the independence to operate, troubleshoot, and maintain your pistol without needing an instructor by your side.
