Gatekeeper Defense Training's Shooting from Concealed course is built for concealed carriers who want to train the way they actually carry — drawing, presenting, and reloading from a concealed holster and magazine pouch, not a range setup. This class focuses on drawing from real concealed carry positions (IWB, AIWB, pocket, shoulder), shooting effectively at close range immediately after the draw, and performing reloads from a concealed magazine pouch. This is defensive pistol training for civilians who carry daily and want their skills to match their setup.
This 3–4 hour course is devoted entirely to drawing, shooting, and reloading from concealment — clean presentation from a concealed holster, accurate fire at close distance immediately off the draw, and reloads from a concealed mag pouch without exposing your setup. Heavy emphasis on deliberate dry-fire practice before live fire so students build safe, repeatable motor patterns before adding speed and stress.
Who This Course Is For:
Students must be competent and safe with a handgun (Practical Pistol 1.0 recommended). This is not a beginner carry class.
Please note: If a student demonstrates unsafe or insufficient proficiency, the instructor will limit participation in advanced live-fire drills for the safety of the group.
Who Should Take This Course?
-
Concealed carriers who want to train from their actual carry position — IWB, AIWB, pocket, or shoulder
-
Carriers who've never practiced shooting immediately off a concealed draw
-
Anyone who wants a reliable reload from a concealed mag pouch under time pressure
-
Experienced shooters looking to sharpen close-quarters decision-making when carrying concealed
