Every second counts. First Shot Advantage is a performance-driven, post-CCL course built to make your draw from concealment safe, efficient, and repeatable—so you can deliver an accurate first shot under pressure and control the moment.What you’ll train
** Safe, efficient holster draw & presentation (concealed/duty gear)
** Economy of motion, consistent grip, sight picture, & trigger prep
** Carry methods overview (5 major carry positions) + setup coaching
** Weapon retention fundamentals and “fight-start” mindset
** Live-fire drills: close range, movement, malfunctions, and multi-target work
* Live-fire requirements
* Minimum 125 rounds
Students will shoot single and multiple target strings, with coaching throughout.
Who this is for:
* Newer carriers who have their CCL and want the next step
* Anyone who carries daily and wants a faster, safer, more consistent first shot
* The ideal precursor to a Combat Pistol class
