Pistol CQB Course
Pistol Close Quarters Battle (CQB) is designed for the law enforcement, military or qualified armed citizen who uses a pistol for defense. The class uses marking cartridges from Simunition® to reinforce lessons-learned from the experience of the instructors in operational environments.
This class revolves heavily on team building concepts to make the individual stronger in lifesaving tactics under fire. During the two-day program, students will learn to be both the defender of a home, automobile or building, as well as how to safely move inside a structure. Students will also participate as the “bad guy” in multiple scenarios. Scenario-based training using marking cartridges ensures you learn more, faster.

Course Prerequisites
At a minimum, students should have previously taken a pistol course and have a solid understanding of the safe operation of their pistol. This is not a basic pistol class. OpSpec Training’s Practical Fundamentals course or an equivalent program with a recognized instructor or training organization is suggested. If you have completed a pistol class, participated in competition involving movement (as an example USPSA/IDPA), have law enforcement or military experience with a pistol, you meet the prerequisites.
