In development — Alex Duran & Devin Stout

Alex Duran and Devin Stout are developing a more advanced security course that goes beyond the BSIS minimum standard and into the work an armed officer actually does.

It incorporates duty handgun work, movement, reloads, engaging multiple targets, and USPSA and defensive shooting concepts applied to a security context — the same competitive and defensive disciplines both instructors train in themselves.

Register your interest and we will contact you directly when the first dates are set. No deposit, and no obligation.
