MCOLES REGISTERED COURSE

PRE-REQUISITES

Although not required, we highly recommend taking our YSINTG! (You Suck! It’s Not the Gun!®) course PRIOR to this class. Here is the best way to tell if you should skip YSINTG!: Can you, at the distance of 10 yards, with no time limit, fire 10 rounds and keep all shots within a 1 inch circle? If the answer is, “NO,” we highly recommend YSINTG! first (but it is still NOT required.)

Valid CPL or Law Enforcement Credentials (if you do not have either, email us for instructions).

MUST KNOW, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY THE FOUR LIFE RULES OF RESPONSIBLE FIREARMS HANDLING AT ALL TIMES. See video below.

DESCRIPTION

Class Flow: MODERATE (students can expect full day of shooting and weapon manipulation from a static line).

Foundation Handgun is designed to stress the importance of proper weapon manipulation and shooting techniques. The goal of this MDFI Foundation class is to build a strong and efficient foundation regarding the proper use and manipulation of the Handgun as a defensive tool. Without a strong foundation, any additional training is wasted time. This class will prepare students for our “Advanced” level classes and is a mandatory prerequisite to move on with the MDFI curriculum.

This class is for students who understand the fundamentals of marksmanship, live by the four rules of responsible firearms handling, and are looking to learn to use the handgun as a defensive tool.

TOPICS COVERED

  • In-depth Firearms Responsibility (safety) and Medical Briefing
  • Inspection and Inventory
  • Concealment Issues
  • Carry/Draw Techniques
  • Shooting Techniques
  • The Threat Engagement Process
  • Handgun Manipulation
  • Ammunition Management
  • Stoppage/Malfunction Issues
  • MDFI Foundation Handgun Qualifier

Awesome class put on by solid dudes. Tim, Brandon and Grant have the perfect balance of humor and fun, while still instructing in a professional and effective manner. This class 100% gives you the basic defensive handgun fundamentals to build future skills off. Would highly recommend

Great class to get you started.

Our group took this class to attain Qualification for Church security, two experienced and two casual shooters, among other new to experienced shooters. This high quality training class is designed to help you improve no matter your experience level. Every stage was done with an emphasis on safety. The cadre was professional, friendly, and outstanding instructors, many times showing by example. Everyone in this class improved significantly. Plus, it was a whole lot of fun!
Highly recommend this class to shooters of any level. Just go do it!

Best pistol course I've ever taken. Excellent instruction from Tim, Roman, and Adam. Left the class with a clear roadmap for continuous improvement. A must for any shooter looking to build good habits from good fundamentals.

If you want a review here’s what you need to know: If you’re ready to seriously train, abandon your ego and just take a formal training class with these guys at MDFI. Make the trip and do it—it’s worth it. I’m an above average civilian pistol shooter, and “You Suck It’s Not the Gun“ is fundamentally a serious pistol marksmanship class that you will definitely benefit from. If you’re good, you will get even better.

Stop reading words on the internet. Stop watching videos online. Get out and actually take a legit pistol shooting class in the real world. Get out and get training. Get out and train with these guys at MDFI and Get Good! I took this class with my family in the white-hot July oppressive summer, and these instructors were literally with us every step of the way sweating and teaching pistol shooting fundamentals in the scorching hot 90 degree sun. MDFI is not on some bs. They’re not wasting your time and/or money.

Note: This is real live actual pistol training for people who have CPLs and are seriously ready to train. Be ready to shoot and train. They treat you like an adult in this class. Don’t show up like a clown with no knowledge of firearms or firearms safety. Know how to work your pistol, and don’t arrive with an attitude or flimsy gear.

Take an actual, legit, reputable, formal pistol training course. Do it. Book it now. Sign up, lock in, and go train with MDFI.
