If you have not been there before you can save time by signing into their system online at: Be sure to complete your smart waiver ahead of time!

When: Saturday, 22 Feb, 2025

Cost: $250.00 plus $20.00 range fee paid to OSS at check-in

Times: 9:00 AM-4:00 PM
Be at the range by 8:30 AM to sign in at the office. We will then go to the Bay and gear up.

Requirements: Eye and ear protection; up to ~600 rounds of ammo if you shoot a high cap pistol or up to 400 rounds for single stack firearms; as many mags/speed loaders as you have; a good gun belt, strong-side kydex or leather holster and an open mind.

Course description of skills covered:
1. Range and Gun Safety
2. TFP2 (Must have attended TFP1), review and additional skills, including Quick Kill - Thanks to Brownie I can teach that one). Full list of skills covered provided in future edit)

We will be drawing from the holster 90% of the time all weekend. A holster will allow the students be able to re-holster an unloaded firearm and be safe once off the firing line while reloading mags/speed loaders without having to handle the firearm until returning to the line. Therefore and as noted above, a well made strong side holster and sturdy gun belt will be required for this course! This is because the Instructor and RSOs must necessarily remain just behind everyone's 3-9 o'clock position on the firing line and therefore cannot properly observe muzzle and trigger discipline during an appendix carry draw, livefire, and re-holster during each course of fire! That means strong-side OWB holsters only (or with prior approval of @exbluelight, students MAY be approved to use a strong-side IWB holster). No BH Serpa holsters on the range that weekend! Anyone with questions about these holster requirements should PM @exbluelight for more details!

These skills are reactionary in nature, similar to having to draw from the holster out on the streets if one needs to defend themselves. I understand some may use a cross draw holster, or fanny pack, or perhaps pocket carry presently, but once students have completed the course, I believe they'll find the benefit of a good strong side outside or inside the waistband holster with their future carry requirements.

Kydex or leather is acceptable. I use both in classes and either will suffice equally with the skills covered.

Any questions about the course, the materials listed we'll cover, etc. don't hesitate to ask. Look forward to meeting new and prior students.

Don’t forget to bring a back up pistol with holster and mags just in case your primary fails (it’s happened to folks at a few classes I have attended). This way you can continue training and learning.

Great


Great suggestion...... bring a backup......I have seen it thru the years....these classes have a tendency to show students what works and what doesnt work.....

Anyone interested in a TFP course in February 2025??? Again, 1 day Class. I am looking for guidance for a class. Two Choices and would you attend??

Threat Focused Pistol I - entry level to get you started or tune up for those that have attended a TFP course previously, or
Threat Focused Pistol II (must have attended TFP-I), which will review TFP-I skills, introduce additional TFP skills, including Quick Kill Pistol© (Thanks to brownie I can teach that one).

Let me know here in this thread!

Another PSA: Buy extra mags now if you don’t have at least 4 on hand. You will be shooting a lot when on the line and the last thing you want to do is step off the line to go load your mags after two strings of fire.
I'd like to attend if TFP I is taught.

This will be a Threat Focused Pistol II (TFP II) course, with a TFP I prerequisite, have you attended TFP I? :unsure:

Just got off the phone with Rick [ exbluelight ]. Discussion ensued about my possibly coming back to Fla for another threat focused with Rick at the helm once more due to many people approaching him asking if I'd come back to Fla once again.

I want to extend my best wishes to those attending this course coming up. We discussed the situation where there's really just a handful [ if that left across the US ] who can train others in these skills. You people are very fortunate to get into this course of fire. Lightbulbs will be going off for the new to the skills shooters all day.

Enjoy the enlightenment folks, it's more than worth the price of admission if it was even double the price. Not sure about that? Read some of the reviews of past threat focused courses over the years from hardcore front sight press shooters at their first outing on these skills.

To be blunt about our conversation......there only 4 people that can instruct "Quick Kill@" without permission of the holder of the patent .....which is Brownie..... him and I are the only two the active certified instructors left..... Brownie is not traveling any more..... I am doing limited classes....at a reduced price for what students learn.....both Brownie and I agree.... we have spent twice the money to learn less than what the TFP classes cost....
 
#93 ·
Just to reinforce the above about cost. In 1981, I paid $300.00 a day to learn these skills. That would translate to $1041.00 per day. Worth the price then, it's a very big bargain today for those so inclined to learn how to use their natural abilities.

And as Rick mentioned, I've authorized just 3 trainers to impart the registered copyrighted Quick Kill Pistol. Two haven't been training others in a public venue for citizens in ages though are extremely competent threat focused instructors [ I've co instructed with both here in Az. several times and once in Virginia ]. Rick's the 3rd and still actively bringing the skills to students. I'm been off the training circuit for 4 years now.

The window of opportunity to gain these skills from someone who knows how to impart them correctly is closing fast. With the exception of one whose 58-60, the remainder of us are well into our 70's. I'm happy to see there's interest enough to fill the class and that many are new to the skills students.
