250 Defensive Pistol w/CTC Laser

If you can only choose one class this year, choose the 250 Defensive Pistol sponsored by Crimson Trace! This class is “The Gunsite Experience” and more! Gunsite has teamed up with Crimson Trace to develop a 250 Pistol class complete with the additional introduction to shooting with lasers.

Regardless of your age, gender or experience, completing the 250 Defensive Pistol class will change your life!  You will be well grounded in the ‘Modern Technique of the Pistol’, including marksmanship, gun handling and mindset while adding in the practical advantages of visible lasers. The class will cover all of the regular 250 Defensive Pistol topics PLUS an introduction to the tactical applications, benefits and limitations of visible lasers. Five solid days of range work, lectures, low light/night shooting with flashlight techniques and intensive indoor and outdoor live fire simulators. Red dot sights are welcome. Learn to be in control of your immediate environment and shooting at night!

On top of the Best-in-Class, professional, individualized training you receive at Gunsite, each student taking the Crimson Trace sponsored course gets FREE:

1-CT Laser for their pistol (or Laser/Light combo)

1-CT Tactical Light

1-CT Welcome package worth over $150

1-CT 50% off CT website coupon and more!
