Description
This course is designed by USPSA GrandMaster in Carry Optics and is taught by Modern Samurai Project endorsed instructors. It will provide students with the necessary skills to properly transition from using standard pistol iron sights to mini red dot sights (MRDS) for self-defense or duty use. This transitional training will include drills addressing the common concerns associated with the use of MRDS on duty pistols. Students will also improve on the skills and knowledge to successfully negotiate around obstacles and shoot on the move. This is an in-depth, comprehensive training course focusing on the fundamentals and capabilities of MRDS and to learn the proper techniques for red-dot acquisition under various conditions and circumstances.
NOTE: It’s incumbent upon the student to read and know the user’s manual of their individual optic. There are far too many optics for the instructor to give each student instructions on all of the different optic. Bottom Line, students should know how to make the appropriate adjustments to their optic before attending the class.
