Small pistols are easy to carry, easy to conceal, and often the handgun a person is most likely to have with them when they need it. But because of their short barrels, small grips, and reduced size, these pistols require specific training to be carried and used safely and effectively.
The FDI Micro Pistol Course is designed for students who carry or plan to carry a pistol with a 3.25-inch barrel or shorter. Whether you pocket carry or use a traditional holster, this course is built to help you better understand how to safely carry, present, and employ a micro pistol in a defensive situation.
This is not a tactical course for SWAT-style shooters. This course is designed for the everyday concealed carrier who wants practical, confidence-building instruction with the firearm they are most likely to actually carry.
Students will work on safe carry considerations, presentation of the pistol from concealment, recoil management, practical defensive accuracy, bullet selection, and understanding the strengths and limitations of these small defensive handguns. The goal is to help the student build real skill with the pistol they may depend on to protect themselves or their family.
Micro pistols are convenient to carry, but convenience alone does not provide protection. Training does.
FDI developed this course from decades of concealed carry experience and instruction with defensive pistols, including training devoted specifically to small handguns. This course is built for responsible armed citizens who want to carry with greater confidence, greater safety, and greater competence.
Requirements:
Must possess a valid NC Concealed Handgun Permit
Pistol with a 3-inch barrel or shorter
At least 2 magazines if using a semi-automatic pistol
Students must follow the Four Universal Firearm Safety Rules at all times during the course
