Many concealed carry courses teach what is required for a concealed carry permit or license, but fail to teach the skills needed to survive a deadly encounter. The focus of ACADEMI'S Practical Concealed Carry course is safe and effective employment of a pistol from concealment. The course begins with a basic review of the fundamentals of shooting and quickly moves into practical applications from concealed carry holsters. Students practice the movement for drawing the firearm from concealment to presentation, reloads from concealment, and the proper re-holstering technique. This is not a classroom-focused course; instead, it emphasizes practical, live-fire exercises on the firing range. Students learn how to safely conceal their pistol through a variety of different holster configurations and are exposed to other accessories to concealed carry.
