COURSE INFO:
1-Day Class | 9am – 7pm
(view available classes below)
MCOLES CERTIFIED
(this course is certified through MDFI and counts for Law Enforcement training credit)
PRE-REQUISITES:
Although not required, we highly recommend taking our YSINTG! (You Suck! It’s Not the Gun!®) course PRIOR to this classs. All students should be able to shoot the YSINTG target at 10 yards, zero time limit, firing 10 rounds, with the goal of keeping all rounds in the center of the black dot. To make sure students get the most out of time training with MDFI, students that cannot keep all 10 rounds on the target at the prescribed distance should take YSINTG! first.
Valid CPL or Law Enforcement Credentials (if you do not have either, email us for instructions).
Must have working operational knowledge of the firearm you bring to class (i.e know how to load/unload safely).
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

- Handgun – we highly recommend you train with your carry handgun.

The class was awesome! The information is great and practical. I am more confident in my ability after this class. The staff is caring and spends the time you need individually to make sure you get the most out of the class. I would recommend this to both novice and experienced shooter a like.

recommended class for everyone that carries a pistol, you will not be disappointed.
The staff is bar none the best I've encountered to date, very knowledgeable and will put you together with no ego if you're struggling with any of the various drills being taught.

As an assistant principal my everyday job is to evaluate instruction and learning. Good teaching is evident and easy to spot regardless if it is in a math classroom, a PE class, or on the range in a defensive firearms course. Tim and Tom did a great job of providing thorough explanations of the curriculum and frontloading shooters with the information that they needed. They would then break it down into manageable chunks/smaller drills that would then be scaffolded into a larger drills that put all the pieces together. Tim and Tom would then model/demonstrate each drill before beginning to instruct it. They also provided great immediate feedback to shooters as they were conducting the drills, including pushing the more advanced shooters further and spending more time with novice shooters who needed the additional instruction/help. This is exactly what I would want to see when I walk into a classroom in my building. They did a great job overall and I highly recommend any class that Tim and Tom are instructing.

I really enjoyed this training. It built upon the skills I learned In YSINTG.
Fun, friendly and motivational staff!
If you want to be a safer and better pistol shooter, this class is for you!
I look forward to future training with MDFI!

I attended the Foundation Handgun class in Jackson, MI on 2/8/2020. Excellent class and very good instructors (Tim, Tom and Shane).
Showed me that I had a lot to work on. Very patient, professional instruction including a lot of one on one help and suggestions.
Tim did an excellent job of giving us all the necessary basic information and in leading the class through the exercises. Tom was a very personable and effective coach and really helped me a lot. I did not have much time with Shane as he was typically at the other end of the firing line from me but the time I did have showed me that he was also a very good and helpful coach.
It was a pleasure to work with all 3 of them.
Very worthwhile class!
Thanks MDFI.
