- Product Code: ATCRET1260201
Revolver proficiency is a diminishing skill in today’s world, with experts becoming increasingly rare. The explosive growth of semi-automatic pistols as work and hobby firearms over the decades has made revolvers more and more the weapons of specialists. However, there are still vast quantities of revolvers in use, so a basic understanding of how revolvers operate and their effective usage is essential knowledge for every enthusiast. Furthermore, various types of revolvers are often encountered in fieldwork, making Revolver Proficiency 1 an excellent fit for anyone who may encounter different types of firearms in their work or leisure (police officers, military personnel, private security professionals, emergency responders, self-defense practitioners, etc.). Revolver Proficiency 1 training covers the efficient handling of various revolvers regardless of the manufacturer, operating principles, or controls. Participants will familiarize themselves with diverse firearm models, operational principles, controls, loading techniques, and handling methods.
The training involves shooting with a wide range of revolvers of different calibers such as .22 lr, .38 special, .357 magnum, 9x19 mm, .44 magnum, and .500 S&W magnum. Participants can purchase course ammunition on-site for a package price of 130 €.
The course fee includes training, firearms used, loading devices, range fees, targets, and a course certificate.
