    Revere's Riders Defensive Pistol – September 25, 2021 (Seelyvill, IN)

    Overview: Pistol 145 begins with an overview of the range rules, safety procedures and quick reminder of the fundamentals from basic pistol. From there, the course focuses on the mechanics of defensive pistol shooting. Lecture topics include: “Why do we do this?”, the physiological and psychological aspects of dynamic critical incidents for both the “good guy” and the “bad guy”, firearms and ancillary equipment for defensive use among other topics. Range exercises build on each successive evolution ending the day with a simple drill that rehearses the physical and mental issues dealt with during the class.
    At the end of the course, you will have learned a simple drill that will help you internalize the basics of defensive pistol craft.

    Additional Event Information​

    Minors (under 18 years old) must be mature enough to follow the instruction and perform the drills as well as have a parent or legal guardian present during the event.

    Prerequisites: Suggested—Revere’s Riders Pistol 100 or similar. This is not an introductory course and participants are expected to be capable of the following:
    • handling their firearm in a safe manner
    • keeping shots within a 6″ square from approximately 7 yards
    Estimated Ammunition Required: About 250 rounds/day. We have modified the course of fire for this course to minimize round count as much as possible.

    Pistol Requirements: Pistols should be of a modern, drop safe design.

    Older single action pistols manufactured before the 1980s and lacking a transfer bar safety are the most common type of pistol that lack drop safe design features, as do some military surplus imports from Eastern bloc countries and Taurus PT-series pistols not fixed during an international safety recall in 2015. These pistols may discharge if dropped and pose a potential safety hazard to our volunteers and students, and are not permitted. If you have concerns about the safety features of your pistol you should have it inspected by an armorer or gunsmith before class.

    The following are a good set of guidelines for an appropriate pistol for this event:
    • bring the pistol you intend to use for concealed carry; leave the brand new pistol you bought the day before the event at home
    • a medium-frame pistol is often ideal for concealed carry (e.g., Glock 19 or similar); smaller pistols are difficult to shoot accurately and larger pistols are uncomfortable to carry all day long
    • make sure your pistol is in good working order; if in doubt, have it checked by a qualified gunsmith or armorer. A pistol that malfunctions constantly will get you plenty of practice addressing malfunctions but not much practice with the drills
    Rimfire Pistols: Due to the current cost and lack of availability of centerfire ammunition, rimfire pistols will be allowed at this event subject to the following:
    • suitable centerfire/rimfire pistol combinations, in order of preference, are:
      • pairs of pistols such as the Glock 19 and Glock 44 that are nearly identical in size and function
      • pistols that are not as similar as the Glock 19/Glock 44 but still properly fit the same holster
      • your concealed carry centerfire pistol along with a .22LR conversion kit that is easy enough to swap in/out in a short period of time (<1 minute) without tools (e.g., a Glock 19 and the Advantage Arms .22LR Conversion Kit)
      • separate centerfire and rimfire pistols along with appropriate holsters for both (in a pinch, you will be able to get by without a proper holster for your rimfire pistol)
    • bring 250 rounds of quality rimfire ammunition (be picky about your rimfire ammunition as the cheap stuff is usually not very reliable; you can’t go wrong with CCI Mini-Mag, Fiocchi, or Federal)
    • bring THREE (or more) magazines for your rimfire pistol (this is in addition to the THREE or more magazines for your centerfire pistol)
    • appropriate holsters for both pistols (assuming your rimfire pistol does not properly fit your centerfire pistol holster)
    IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFACTORILY COMPLETE THIS COURSE WITH ONLY A RIMFIRE PISTOL!
    During the course, you will use your rimfire pistol as initial practice for a given drill and then transition to your centerfire pistol to demonstrate competency.

    If you have any questions concerning the suitability of your pistol for this course, please contact the Event Director.

    I highly encourage the part time use of a rimfire sub for your carry gun. I also want to assure all that every effort will be made to make every shot count. ACT looks foward to training with you soon!
