SUMMARY:Basic Low Light Pistol (Terre Haute\, IN)
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS BY INVITATION ONLY. If after reading the event description you would like to participate\, please contact the Event Director to request an invitation. \nBasic Low Light Pistol Overview\nPrerequisites: Suggested—Revere’s Riders Defensive Pistol or similar. This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following: \n\nhandling their firearm in a safe manner\nkeeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards\n\nDue to the intrinsic risks associated with training in low-light conditions\, the Event Director will approve each attendee for this course. \nEstimated Ammunition Required: About 300-500 rounds. \nPistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern\, drop safe design. \nOlder single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features\, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students\, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class. \nThe following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event: \n\nbring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home\na medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g.\, Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long\nmake sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt\, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills\n\nIf you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course\, please contact the Event Director. \nRequired Equipment: Please review our suggestions on appropriate Defensive Pistol equipment and plan to bring the following: \n\nreliable\, high-intensity hand-held light (lanyard recommended)\nmagazines or speed loaders: bring at least FIVE (more is better\, especially if you are using a pistol with a capacity of less than 10 rounds)\nholster: a strong side holster that does not collapse when your pistol is drawn (no appendix\, ankle\, shoulder or small-of-back holsters). Either IWB (“inside the waistband”) or OWB (“outside the waistband”) are fine\, but the holster you intend to use for concealed carry would be preferred. An OWB holster is often easier to use if you have never drawn from a holster before but will still allow you to participate fully in the drills we will conduct. The crucial aspect is that your holster MUST hold your firearm securely without letting it move around on your hip; this will necessitate a holster that attaches at TWO POINTS to your gun belt; there are a few holsters that attach to your gun belt at one point and still hold your firearm securely\, but they generally attach over an extended length of your belt effectively simulating two points of attachment\ngun belt: you will have your pistol on your hip for the entire day. It will seem heavier as the day goes on and a good\, sturdy gun belt will minimize that feeling. A standard belt isn’t going to cut it here; spend a couple of dollars on a quality gun belt if you don’t already have one\nconcealment garment\nmagazine carrier (you can get by with putting spare magazines in a pocket\, but a magazine carrier is much preferred)\na way to take notes\nhearing protection\neye protection\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration (both plain water and something to replace electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal)\nclothing appropriate for the weather (loose fitting clothing\, especially around the neck\, is discouraged as hot brass can lodge against the skin and cause a burn)\n\nOptional Equipment: The following equipment is not required but may come in handy at the event: \n\ninert replica of your pistol (e.g.\, “Blue Gun” or similar that fits your holster)\nback-up light\nlow-intensity “task light” for navigation and checking targets\nweapon-mounted light\nspare batteries\nspare bulbs (if your light uses incandescent bulbs)\nseveral feet of 550 paracord to make a lanyard\nhat with a brim (to deflect flying hot brass)\nfolding chair\nsnacks\nsunscreen and/or bug spray\n\nOverview: Basic Low Light Pistol is approximately four hours that offers an introduction to defensive handgun techniques applied to low light or total darkness situations. The class will focus on the use of modern\, high intensity flashlights and their applications to defensive use in conjunction with handguns. Topics will include acquisition of information\, use of handheld flashlights both with and without firearms\, use of weapon-mounted flashlights\, use of supplemental sighting devices (e.g. lasers)\, use of tritium night sights\, etc. \nAdditional Questions?\nJohn Viray is available at the email address below to answer questions both before and after the course.
