Course Description

Even during the day, low light conditions still occur in areas like parking structures, public garages, or service corridors. Darkness significantly impacts your ability to clearly see objects, individuals, and potential threats. In a self-defense situation, the successful use of illumination will give you a critical advantage.

Module 1 – Classroom
-Examples of various types of handheld and weapon-mounted lights
-Carry and deployment of lights
-Integrating the light into your firearm deployment
-Manipulating the light and pistol simultaneously

Module 2 – Live Fire Practice 
-Live fire practice to compare and evaluate the light deployment that works best for you
-Live fire practice under different lighting conditions and scenarios
