The official, modular-format, NRA CCW Student Course is scheduled and configured by Platte River Armory LLC for BOTH students with substantial prior handgun experience as well as those who have less of a background with handguns. This 2-day version of this course includes classroom sessions covering firearms safety, selecting a concealed carry handgun, correct ammunition types, carry modes and holsters, drawing from concealment, clearing stoppages and malfunctions, important mindset, aftermath of a defensive shooting plus an extensive live-fire rang training session. Range exercises include how to safely and effectively draw a loaded handgun from concealment, engage targets using defensive accuracy, clearing stoppages such as “stove pipes” (failure to eject) and “double feeds” (failure to extract) as well as emergency reloads.
