Registration for Basic Weapon Retention

This intensive session focuses on the critical skills needed to maintain control of your firearm under pressure. We’ll cover holster retention fundamentals, but the primary emphasis will be on retaining a weapon that has already been drawn - a high-stakes scenario where control, technique, and mindset are everything.

Whether you're in close quarters or an active threat environment, this course provides practical, tested methods for defending your firearm from being taken.

Prerequisite: Completion of our “Moving with a Firearm” course is required
