The STEP II- NFI DEFENSIVE PISTOL COURSE is designed for students who desire to continue their training and employ the personal protection handgun from an outside/inside the waistband hip holster. The drills are a natural progression from what was learned in the NFI Basic CCW Course. The 5 hour course is designed to be safe yet challenging, focusing specifically on drawing your firearm from a hip holster both effectively and efficiently.

**This class can be used for a CCW Renewal if you stay after the Step II class and take 2 hours of law.  If you are using this for a CCW Renewal, purchase the CCW Renewal ticket when registering**

This Step II course precedes more advanced Defensive Pistol Courses (Step III and Step IV) and must be attended in that order, with no exceptions.   The courses are also required in order to participate in further advanced Carbine and Shotgun classes.

Ammo Packages available during this course. Ammunition used during the course can be provided at $40 a box (this is my cost). California State law prohibits students leaving the range with this ammo. All full and unused boxes will be refunded on site. Ammo calibers available are 22LR, .40, 9MM, .45, .380 & .38 Special.  Select the ammo which applies to you when registering for the course and it will be delivered to the student on the range where it can be paid for with cash, check or Venmo.
