No Fail Pistol - Registration

The Presscheck No-Fail Pistol Course (2 Days) is designed to equip shooters with the skills to make high risk / high reward pistol shots in critical situations.

This 20 hour course stresses the importance of being able to place accurate hits on small, moving, and limited exposure critical areas of the human body to instantly cease all motor function or cause rapid unconsciousness, usually resulting in death.

THE PRESSCHECK MISSION

Presscheck Training and Consulting, LLC. is a Disabled Veteran owned small business founded in 2015 to provide training to Military, Law Enforcement and vetted civilians in Marksmanship, tactics, Close Quarters Combat, Urban Operations, and Night Vision as well as other restricted subject matter. Presscheck also provides Subject Matter Expertise (SME) support to the firearms, tactical, and defense industries in the areas of new product design, business development, human factors engineering, and brand marketing. Presscheck currently provides various services for Blue Force Gear, Chambers Custom, B.E. Meyers & Co., and Sons of Liberty Gun Works.

In 2019, Presscheck collaborated with world-famous gunsmith and custom 1911 manufacturer, Joe Chambers of Chambers Custom, to design a duty-grade custom 2011 pistol with a revolutionary mini red dot sight mounting system. This weapon, the Nightfighter, became the first Chambers Custom Pro-series pistol released to the market. Presscheck and Chambers Custom continue to evolve the platform for duty applications with the 2020 release of the Lightfighter 2011 pistol.

MSP AIWB/RDS Pistol

DAY 1:

Although it has been around for a long time, Appendix Carry has seen a resurgence in popularity in the last 5 or so years. While many people realize that it is an ergonomically more efficient form of concealed carry, many misconceptions still exist limiting its true potential.

After years of study with many great teachers culminating in the #15 FAST coin, I believe I have developed a system to accelerate the performance of nearly anyone who has chosen this method of carry.   

Topics covered: 

Why AIWB is more efficient than other forms of carry

Holster Concerns

Holster customization

Clothing considerations

Learning the draw from beginning to end (garment clear, firing grip, marrying the hands, presentation)

Drills designed to increase performance or understanding for self-diagnosis.

Day 2:

Red Dots on pistols are becoming more popular as options for carry weapons. Part of mastery is training - here it is! 

Topics Covered
• Zeroing your red dot. 10 yard zero. 25 yard confirmation. Ammo selection.
• Draw and how to stop fishing for the dot. Why back up irons are necessary? 
• Only use the necessary amount of information required to make an acceptably accurate shot at the speed and distance required. 
• Red dots up close. 5 yards and in. 
• Red dots at distance
• Speed: Efficiency of draw and presentation. Concealed and Open setups. Speed is the economy of motion. The Langdon presentation method. Speed is not useless frenetic movement. Micro Drill training method.
• Dot tracking: Grip, stance, dot movement, predictability. Stop over confirming the dot!
• Modes of Practice: Speed mode. Accuracy Mode. Match/For Realz Mode.
• How to get better on your own. Dry fire for skill building. Live fire for confirmation.
• Why you should compete.
• Mini match to test skills. 

Day 3:
The final day will focus on learning how to practice/train for and possibly reaching my Black Belt Patch standards:

3 x 2 drill: 2 seconds

7 yards 1 shot: 1 second

Bill Drill: 2 seconds

25 yard 1 shot: 1.5 seconds

A detailed explanation of the standards. 

Equipment:
Reliable modern pistol (red dot equipped for Day 2)

Kydex AIWB holster with a ride height that allows you to get a full grip without difficulty. Something with a claw/wing is preferable.

1200+ rounds of reliable ammo

Concealable mag pouch(es)

5 mags

Open Mind
