The Low-Light Pistol Course is designed for law enforcement and civilians seeking to solidify their fundamentals of low-light operations, searching skills, and defensive pistol marksmanship from a concealed or outside waistband holster. Students will learn handheld and weapon-mounted light techniques while accurately engaging targets in low-light/no-light conditions.

Handheld and weapon-mounted lights each serve a different purpose, we recommend equipping your EDC load out with both options. A handheld light affords you the option of keeping the firearm holstered while searching and accessing an area, eliminating the chances of muzzling a non-threat. Handheld lights also work well for everyday tasks. For example, if you needed light to find your phone that dropped under your driver's seat, you wouldn't want to use a weapon-mounted light. Now in the case that you have identified a threat and made the decision to draw your firearm, weapon-mounted lights allow for a distinctive advantage. They allow you to utilize the same two-handed grip when shooting and do not change any weapon manipulations because both hands are free.

Barriers serve many purposes in a defensive situation, they can provide cover, concealment, or stabilization for shots at longer distances. Many of these benefits have been translated and incorporated into competitive shooting. Paul Casale (IG: pc_walnuts) breaks down approaching barriers, building a proper stance or shooting positions, and addresses a few different types of barriers you may come across in life or in competition.

There are many types of pistol reloads and they are all important to practice and be proficient in. In this video, we cover the Slide Lock Reload, also known as the Emergency reload. Your gun is empty, the slide has locked to the rear with an empty magazine, but you still have a threat that needs to be stopped. This means you need to perform a Slide-Lock reload and quickly get rounds back in the gun. One of the best drills to gain proficiency in Slide Lock Reloads is the Fire One-Reload-Fire One or One-Reload-One Drill. For this drill, you will need two magazines, one empty and one fully loaded mag. On-line or in your bay, load one round from the full mag into your firearm, then eject the magazine and insert the empty mag. This will induce a slide lock after the round is fired. From the holster or position 3 fire one round on target, the slide will lock to the rear, eject the empty mag and insert your fully loaded mag, drop the slide release, and re-engage your target. Repeat as desired. This is a low-round count drill that works on several fundamentals of pistol marksmanship and weapon manipulation. If desired you can increase the rounds fired to 1-Reload-2, 2-Reload-2, 1-Reload-3, etc. If you have any other drills you would like to see explained please feel free to leave them in the comments below.
