PrairieFire Nevada`s 4-Day Defensive Handgun gives you a solid foundation in basic gun handling and
marksmanship skills. The 2-Day Tactical Handgun course supplements that with the tools and
techniques
needed in a tactical encounter. Now it’s time to learn the application of those techniques, practice the
critical decision making processes, and ingrain the skills required to win a tactical encounter.
Note: This course is primarily composed of scenario-based training and the
use
of tactical simulator bays. This course is advanced-level training designed to prepare you for an actual
tactical encounter. Completion of this course is required for higher-level courses such as
Handgun Combat Master Prep, Advanced Tactical Scenarios, and Advanced Integrated Handgun.

- Go here for Handgun Requirements and Recommendations
- “Pocket Pistols” which this facility defines as any handgun smaller than a Glock 26 (roughly 6.4" slide length and 4.2" frame height) are not allowed due to being difficult to manipulate, painful to shoot, and often less safe because the user is more likely to cover their support hand or other body parts with the muzzle. Muzzle attachments such as compensators and extended magazines do not change the overall dimensions of that weapon. We are basing our size parameters off of the factory condition of your weapon. In other words, if you added one of these items to your handgun and the size of the weapon has technically changed, does not mean that this weapon is now excluded from our pocket pistol policy.
- Holsters must be on the belt, correctly fit the weapon, completely cover the trigger guard, remain open when the weapon is removed, not allow the weapon to cover the shooter’s body, and not have a trigger guard retention device (such as the Blackhawk Serpa model and others). NO thigh rigs, cross-draw, etc.
- A minimum of three magazines and two single or one double magazine pouch is required. Magazine pouches worn on the belt on the side opposite the handgun. Speed loader holders worn in front of the holster.
- Electronic hearing protection is mandatory and is available at the Pro Shop or numerous retailers.
- You will need a handheld flashlight with a tail cap push-button on-off switch for the Night Shoot.
- Elbow and knee pads are recommended, but not required.
- A suitable backup weapon is strongly recommended, as many weapons fail at some point during the training.
- Go here for Ammunition Requirements
Age Requirements:
- 16 to 17 years old, welcome to take regular firearms courses alone as long as a parent or guardian is onsite; parent or guardian can be enrolled in a different course or on a different range.
