Intro to Red Dot Sighted Pistol course

The Intro to Red Dot Sighted Pistol course is designed for people who want to learn the basics of shooting with a (RDS) red dot sight. Students will learn the correct way to use a RDS pistol through efficient body structure and a variety of dry and live fire techniques and drills to maximize their efficiency with the pistol.

We highly recommend completion of at least Basic Handgun Defense Level 1 before attendance.

  • Eye and ear protection
  • RDS equipped handgun in proper working order (unloaded and stored in case prior to arrival)
  • Extra batteries for your RDS
  • User manual for your RDS
  • 2 or more magazines/speed loaders (3 is recommended)
  • Sturdy holster and belt
  • 100 rounds of quality ammunition
  • A t-shirt along with a loose fitting shirt is recommended for this course. Please refrain from low cut or V-neck shirts, as hot brass can cause burns.

Students can rent or purchase the required equipment prior to class besides the holster. You must provide your own holster as we do not have RDS rental holsters.

Student Testimonials

See what students of our Intro to Red Dot Sighted Pistol course have to say about their training experience!

At 72 years old, my eyes could no longer establish a sight picture rapidly enough with iron sights and I decided it was time to entertain a “red dot”. Lynn did an excellent job of introducing the red dot, as well as finding the dot, recognizing what the dot’s movements meant, and applying that to “target focus” via technique. He addressed practice routines I can do at home and how they will help me become more proficient and did all this in a relaxed manner with humor thrown in for good measure. Money well spent for an enjoyable and informative class.
