I recently attended the EDC + Vehicle Level 1 course and found it to be highly worthwhile. This…read morecourse effectively combines critical skills for everyday carry with practical vehicle-based scenarios. From the outset, the focus on accuracy when drawing and shooting from concealment was essential, and the smooth progression to incorporating speed felt natural and intuitive. The instruction on shooting from various seated positions, including both the driver's side and passenger's side, was incredibly valuable--especially learning how to shoot effectively toward your strong hand side as well as across your body to the opposite side. It was great to have the opportunity to practice these techniques in a controlled environment and a great instructor. You can dry fire all day, but there's nothing like getting out and being able to train and learn these techniques with live fire. The sounds and adrenaline are very different from dry firing or simply shooting down a lane, making the experience much more realistic and beneficial. The drills, which included both individual and team exercises, were engaging and enhanced our interaction. Egos, if any, were left at the gate and Lee's teaching style stood out--his approach made the class enjoyable and interactive while ensuring that even those with minimal experience (me), as well as veterans with over a decade of shooting (including competition shooters), walked away having gained new insights. I highly recommend this course for shooters at any level. Even if you excel in competitions, this course prepares you for the unpredictability of real-life situations, equipping you with the skills needed for those critical moments. Thanks Lee!

Practical Defense Systems' 16-hour CCW course is hands down one of the best classes you can spend…read moreyour hard-earned money on, especially in this economy. I would 10/10 recommend it to all my family members before they begin carrying. I have been carrying a firearm overtly for over 16 years and concealed for nearly nine years. During that time, I've taken numerous tactical shooting courses ranging from low to medium speed and drag. Going into this class, I initially thought a 16-hour California CCW course would be a waste of my time and money. However, Joel and Dave's expert knowledge, experience, and the overall flow of the course quickly changed my perspective. The material was well presented, practical, and highly relevant. The significant amount of simulator time was especially valuable and helped reinforce real-world decision-making. I'm very glad I took their course and definitely feel better equipped to carry concealed in the Wild West that is California. Thanks, gentlemen -- I look forward to taking more courses in the future.
