Pistol Low-Light
One-day instruction on effective pistol usage under low-light conditions
In this course, the students learn to effectively operate their pistol in low-light conditions or in complete darkness. The goal is to learn and apply a few simple techniques to overcome the problem of limited or no visibility with or without the help of a handheld flashlight.
​
For this course, there's no need for expensive night-sights or weapon-mounted 'tacticool' light sources. A sturdy, relatively small flashlight with a simple to operate on/off switch is all one really needs. The brightness of the flashlight should be moderate, the zillion-lumen wondertool will be a disadvantage. How it all works and why less is sometimes more: you will learn and experience it hands-on in the course! The acquired skills are equally suitable for duty, self-defense and competition use!
