MCOLES REGISTERED COURSE
This course has been registered with the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) for use of PA 302 Law Enforcement Distribution funds and earns training credit within MITN.

PRE-REQUISITES

Although not required, we highly recommend taking our YSINTG! (You Suck! It’s Not the Gun!®) course PRIOR to this class. Here is the best way to tell if you should skip YSINTG!: Can you, at the distance of 10 yards, with no time limit, fire 10 rounds and keep all shots within a 1 inch circle? If the answer is, “NO,” we highly recommend YSINTG! first (but it is still NOT required.)

Valid CPL or Law Enforcement Credentials (if you do not have either, email us for instructions).

MUST KNOW, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY THE FOUR LIFE RULES OF RESPONSIBLE FIREARMS HANDLING AT ALL TIMES. See video below.

DESCRIPTION

Class Flow: MODERATE (students can expect full day of shooting and weapon manipulation from a static line).

Foundation Handgun is designed to stress the importance of proper weapon manipulation and shooting techniques. The goal of this MDFI Foundation class is to build a strong and efficient foundation regarding the proper use and manipulation of the Handgun as a defensive tool. Without a strong foundation, any additional training is wasted time. This class will prepare students for our “Advanced” level classes and is a mandatory prerequisite to move on with the MDFI curriculum.

This class is for students who understand the fundamentals of marksmanship, live by the four rules of responsible firearms handling, and are looking to learn to use the handgun as a defensive tool.

TOPICS COVERED

  • In-depth Firearms Responsibility (safety) and Medical Briefing
  • Inspection and Inventory
  • Concealment Issues
  • Carry/Draw Techniques
  • Shooting Techniques
  • The Threat Engagement Process
  • Handgun Manipulation
  • Ammunition Management
  • Stoppage/Malfunction Issues
  • MDFI Foundation Handgun Qualifier

STUDENT REQUIREMENTS

REQUIRED

  • Iron Sight or Red-Dot-Equipped (sighted in) Semi-Automatic Handgun – we highly recommend you train with your carry handgun.

Just finished the foundation handgun class and it was solid from start to finish. No fluff, no ego, no wasted time, and I had a blast. Everything had a purpose and built real skill, not just round count. The instruction was clear, professional, and safety driven. You weren’t just told what to do, you were coached on why it mattered and corrected when it didn’t. The training was practical, realistic, and immediately applicable. I left shooting better, thinking sharper, and knowing exactly what I need to keep working on. If you’re serious about being competent and responsible with a handgun, take this class. I’d recommend it without hesitation & even take it again.

Awesome class put on by solid dudes. Tim, Brandon and Grant have the perfect balance of humor and fun, while still instructing in a professional and effective manner. This class 100% gives you the basic defensive handgun fundamentals to build future skills off. Would highly recommend

Great class to get you started.

Our group took this class to attain Qualification for Church security, two experienced and two casual shooters, among other new to experienced shooters. This high quality training class is designed to help you improve no matter your experience level. Every stage was done with an emphasis on safety. The cadre was professional, friendly, and outstanding instructors, many times showing by example. Everyone in this class improved significantly. Plus, it was a whole lot of fun!
Highly recommend this class to shooters of any level. Just go do it!

Best pistol course I've ever taken. Excellent instruction from Tim, Roman, and Adam. Left the class with a clear roadmap for continuous improvement. A must for any shooter looking to build good habits from good fundamentals.
