THE PISTOL
In addition to our World-Class rifle instruction, Patriot Training also offers outstanding Pistol classes. Millions of people carry a pistol daily for defense, so it is imperative to be well trained and prepared, should it be needed. Also, if the use of a rifle is needed, the pistol makes a formidable back up.
WARNING!
Effective Immediately (July 2025), Patriot Training
has banned the use of the Sig P320 for all classes.
Essential Pistol is a pistol class that builds the core skills every handgun owner needs for personal defense.

Handgun Basics is a pistol and revolver class designed with the new shooter in mind.
Whether it’s a compact pistol or a classic wheel gun, millions of Americans rely on handguns for home defense and concealed carry. Revolver or semi-auto... doesn’t matter.

Handgun Basics isn’t just another safety course — it’s a mindset shift.
