Defensive Pistol Level II

Defensive Pistol Level II is the next step in learning the Art of the Combat Pistol. We take the already accomplished gunman and add a series of techniques which, due to time constraints, could not be addresses in our Level I course. Level II provides the student with an additional set of indispensable fighting skills!

We strive to keep the staff-to-student ratio low and provide a Fortress instructor for every 2-3 students. If requested, a female instructor will be available to assist any female students.

Laws regarding handgun ownership and carry rights vary greatly from state-to-state and each jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations. Fortress recommends that you consult with your own state's Attorney General's office before purchasing any firearm, or before you attempt to carry a handgun. Many find http://handgunlaw.us/ to be a good resource, as well. Please remember that laws and statutes regarding firearms change almost daily throughout the United States; it's up to you to know the law!

AMMUNITION REQUIREMENTS
Fortress recommends the use of American made factory ammunition only! Foreign ammunition is often times dirty, smokey and lacking in quality control. Use of it can not only lead to stoppages but it absorbs valuable training time trying to repair dirty, non-functioning guns. We also do not allow the use of reloaded ammunition during our courses.
