A beginner-to-intermediate dry-practice session that builds safe handling mechanics, reloads, jam remediation, and confident pistol-handling skills in a structured indoor environment. No live ammunition is present in the building.
This class is a dry-practice indoor session designed to develop confident, safe pistol handling without live fire. We focus on handling mechanics, different types of reloads, clearing common jams and remediations, compressed and extended ready positions, drawing and presenting the pistol smoothly, and managing the firearm as a whole system. Every exercise is designed to build safe, efficient pistol handling through repetition and structured coaching. This course also prepares you for M.A.D.S.'s later intermediate and advanced classes, with new dates to be announced.
This class is for responsible gun owners at the beginner and intermediate level who want to build confident, safe pistol handling without live fire. Whether you are new to formal training or want structured coaching on mechanics and remediation, you are welcome here. You should be able to load, unload, and clear a pistol safely without supervision.
