Combat Handgun The tool of choice for personal protection is the pistol. In the hands of a well-trained operator, most any potentially lethal engagement can be ended in less than one to two seconds. While significantly less powered than a rifle or shotgun, at short range, weapon mastery can make the pistol equally as effective in conflict resolution with an advantage of speed and constant availability. American Defense Enterprises training is designed to teach and develop the fundamental handgun skills necessary should a lethal confrontation arise. Whether you are a citizen interested in self-defense or an experienced special forces operator, the basic handgun skills are exactly the same. The core of A.D.E. training is fast-paced live fire combat courses – Introductory training is no exception. Basic instruction emphasizes the following skills: · Safe gun handling – Ingraining innate muzzle awareness is crucial for team operation, executive protection and operating in mixed foe/friend environments · Marksmanship – the pistol demands exceptional accuracy for effectiveness. · Tactics in shot placement. · Shooting in motion · Tactical/emergency reloads · Malfunction clearance. · Holster presentation · Multiple shot/target accuracy · After Action – The mindset to “remain in the fight” must be drilled to be effective as the natural reaction after an incident is to focus on “what has happened” rather than “what might happen next.” While listed as “basic skills” (and certainly suitable for those inexperienced with pistol), many skilled operators are dramatically deficient in these areas. This is clearly evidenced in most post-incident reports. Even S.W.A.T. trained police officers frequently have sub 20% shooting accuracy, surviving and succeeding only because of superior numbers and equipment.
