Practical Pistol 2.0 

Defensive Handgun Training 

Ready to take your concealed carry skills to the next level? Practical Pistol 2.0 at Gatekeeper Defense is designed for serious gun owners looking to train effectively for real-world defensive scenarios. This semi-advanced course goes beyond basic firearm safety and concealed carry training, teaching tactical skills for everyday carry.

Taught by USCCA Certified Instructors, this intensive 5-6 hour course features a blend of classroom instruction and high-impact live-fire training at a private outdoor range. You’ll develop proficiency in defensive shooting techniques, including engaging multiple targets, shooting while moving, and navigating shoot/no-shoot situations—all essential for real-world personal defense.

Course Info:

  • Length: 6 hours

  • Location: Private outdoor range in the Orlando/Lake Nona area

  • Experience Required: This course is NOT for beginners. Participants should be proficient beyond a Practical Pistol 1.0 level to attend. 

Who This Course Is For:

This is an intermediate to advanced-level course. You must be proficient and safe with your firearm. If you have never trained with Gatekeeper Defense—or are unsure of your skill level—you must first attend Practical Pistol 1.0
