Ladies Stage 1 Handgun

Course Details

This class is designed for ladies with no previous experience handling a Pistol. Our goal is to ensure you are safe and confident, starting with the four safety rules, giving you the foundational knowledge you need to handle your handgun, and developing your marksmanship. 

 You’ll practice and know what each button and lever does, how to run the slide, and how to do a press check. We’ll show you shooting stances and firing grips, then how to align your sights and press the trigger.

When you know how it all works, we’ll start shooting live rounds so you can develop your marksmanship. No stress if it’s not perfect at first; our qualified instructors are there to help. We’ll ensure you have plenty of time to practice your new skills.

You will leave this class with a solid base in safety, knowing how your handgun operates, and being able to hit your target. You will load, unload, and reload your pistol. Our instructors will show you everything you need to know, personalized to your handgun and specific needs.

Participants must provide a State of Alaska background check before participating in this class or have a valid Alaska concealed carry permit or current law enforcement or military identification.

“Two-day concealed carry class was attended by myself, my daughter, and a friend—all of us at different comfort levels and experiences with handguns. The staff was very professional, direct and nice…I would highly recommend this organization for any training they offer.”

Christopher Grlica

I was pleased with the schooling I received at the private training facilities. Steve and his partner Slow Poke did a great job one-upping my skill level. They commended a safe environment and were clearly experienced and professional…I would train there again.

Jenn Graham

Fantastic group of people. I purchased a firearm and have taken two classes and multiple private lessons. If you’re a beginner, I highly recommend this company.

Jeffrey Bottorff

I recently took the Level 1 Pistol class with my girlfriend, who was terrified of firearms, and it was an amazing experience. I can honestly say this class really reassured, corrected, and improved our fundamentals. I trained with Steve and Danny, amazing instructors…

Kevin Staples

Great class and an awesome experience. The instructors took time to work one-on-one with students and help fine-tune even the most minor details to get the most of every shot. I’m looking forward to an excuse to come to Anchorage again soon.
