This program focuses on the reality that people involved in gunfights are often injured, off-balance, or operating in unpredictable environments where traditional square-range techniques fall apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents will develop and enhance their ability to run a handgun efficiently with either hand alone - dominant or support - including drawing, reloading, malfunction clearing, and target engagement. Emphasis is placed on maintaining operational capability after simulated injury, using only one hand while managing gear, utilizing cover, and adapting to rapidly changing environmental constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**The Sig P320 platform will not be allowed in this class** If you are currently carrying that platform and wish to attend this class, you will need to bring a different firearm or use one of the provided Walthers**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in 8.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003eRequired equipment:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Handgun with at least 3 mags**\u003cbr\u003e-300 rounds of reliable ammo \u003cbr\u003e-Reliable and good quality belt\/drop leg\/paddle\/AIWB holster (no Serpas, no old leather holsters) \u003cbr\u003e-Eye and Ear protection (electronic preferred but not required)\u003cbr\u003e-Sharpie\u003cbr\u003e-Water\/water bottle\u003cbr\u003e-Weather appropriate clothing \u003cbr\u003e-Good attitude and open mind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in 8.0pt 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in 8.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black; border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0in; background: white; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRecommended equipment:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black; border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003e-Lawn chair\u003cbr\u003e-Snacks\u003cbr\u003e-Towel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black; border: 1pt windowtext; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003eClass info: 8a-5p\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; background: white;\"\u003eSearcy Police Department Firing Range\u003cbr\u003e2009 N.
