<H2>I think that you would get more use out of the 250 defensive pistol, but the .223 Carbine sure would be fun! 250 Defensive Pistol Defensive Pistol is the cornerstone of Gunsite class offerings. This course will teach you to control your immediate environment. You’ll learn marksmanship, gun-handling, and combat mindset, the elements of the Combat Triad. Defensive Pistol will give you five solid days of range work, lectures and intense simulators (including low light). Through our systematic and dynamic methodology you will achieve competence and great new skills. You will emerge a stronger, more alert person, conditioned to respond instantly to any threat. You will be prepared to prevail in an armed encounter. “A life changing experience” is the way many students describe this class. You will no longer be “afraid of the dark”, or anything in it. Skill at arms is highly perishable and recurrent training is a must for the responsible citizen. Should you ever be involved in a life or death situation, the justice system will first question your training. Many returning students take the "250" class again and again, for just this reason. Your credentials from the “250” Defensive Pistol class are pre-requisites for many of the other Gunsite class offerings.

Snowbyrd A friend of mine took the Defensive Pistol first and learned some things from it. He is a helluva shot and has been thru alot of other training and gave it a huge thumbs up. He then went back and took other courses from them. I have no idea which ones he took but I know he's been there four or five other times. He said that the Pistol course was great and thought everyone that was thinking of carrying or owning a pistol should go to it. Maybe someday I'll get to it. Take care Be safe Poacher.
