Scope of Course: MATR will provide an intense two (2)-day course of instruction on the practical application of the modern semi-automatic pistol. Class size is capped at 12 to allow for more customized training and tuning of your performance. For beginners and professionals who own, carry or need professional training in the use of a semi-automatic pistol to perform better under stress. During the UTM training, students will take turns being the aggressor in role-playing scenarios to see from the other side what works and what does not work. Scenario training will be conducted in our 28,000-sq-ft former medical clinic for realism.

The course will cover:
• Safe and proper handling
• Disassembly/Assembly
• Basic maintenance
• Ballistic considerations
• Tactical shooting drills and considerations to include close/contact shooting instruction
• Low-light firing instruction
• Tactical engagement considerations
• Misfire/Stoppage drills
• Simulations with UTM Ammunition, Safety Equipment and Role-players
• Holster/Magazine Pouch and Accessories considerations
• Implementation of the weapon as a modern defensive weapon

This training has adopted a multi-tiered approach to weapons familiarization and safety.
1. The first stage covers the basics.
o Basic skills, safety, and familiarization.
2. Stage two requires practical demonstration, with each drill/instruction utilizing live ammo.
o This section will feature simple-to-complex skills needed to utilize the pistol effectively in a tactical environment. Conducted during daylight and low-light conditions.
o Accessories to enhance the system will be demonstrated and discussed.
3. The third stage involves the demonstration of learned skills in UTM training ammunition scenarios with live role-players.
o Instructors will conduct scenario-based practical exercises to allow the students to enhance their level of competence against programmed role-players in realistic settings.

Each registered student will receive a copy of the MATR-authored TACTICAL PISTOL SHOOTING; Your Guide to Tactics that Work by Erik Lawrence prior to the course for self-study. This item is a $20 value.
