On a range in Stanton, this compact, intense session drills one question until it becomes a reflex: what do you do when your dominant hand isn’t available? In two hours participants work exclusively with their support hand to build aiming, trigger control, magazine changes, holster work and stoppage clearing—skills taught with unloaded pistols and hands‑on exercises that reveal which holster and carry locations serve you best.
