Diagnosing Deficiencies or “D2” – Basic Pistol Course: Master the Fundamentals of Accurate Handgun Shooting

DESCRIPTION:

D2 is our core firearms training class—a well-rounded, basic pistol course designed to help shooters of all levels return to, refine, or build upon the foundational skills that drive real shooting accuracy and defensive confidence.

This basic pistol course was developed after observing a common trend: shooters blaming their sights or gear for missed shots, when in reality, the issue often lies in a breakdown of fundamentals. D2 focuses on identifying and correcting those deficiencies through hands-on instruction, drills, and a deep dive into the basics of marksmanship.

What D2 Covers:

  • Core shooting fundamentals: grip, stance, trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through
  • Diagnosing and correcting personal shooting errors
  • Effective shot placement and defensive application of a handgun
  • Building consistency and efficiency under pressure

This basic pistol course is perfect for:

  • New shooters who want to learn the right way from the start
  • Experienced shooters who need a reset and a return to proven fundamentals
  • Anyone who wants to drastically improve their pistol accuracy by understanding why they’re missing—and how to fix it

By the end of this basic pistol course, most students not only identify their own deficiencies but also gain the tools to correct them. The result? Noticeable improvements in accuracy, control, and confidence.

D2 is one of our most popular and most repeated classes for a reason—because the fundamentals matter, and this course delivers them in a way that works for every shooter.
