Fighting Handgun Concepts – Feb. 28th & March 1st, 2026 – Kingman, AZ

Fighting Handgun Concepts is an advanced, highly practical defensive handgun course designed for shooters who are ready to move beyond the basics and train for real-world life-or-death encounters.

This is not a static, stand-and-shoot class; it’s a dynamic environment built around movement, decision-making, close-quarters work, unconventional positions, and shooting under physical and mental pressure. After safety and precision work, students quickly move into realistic fight speeds, explosive movement, shooting on the move, one-handed handgun use from simulated injury positions, defending others, barrier and vehicle tactics, close-contact engagements, and decisional shooting scenarios.

Everything taught is rooted in real experience from actual deadly-force encounters and is designed to prepare everyday defenders for the chaos of a real fight.

Across Saturday and Sunday, you’ll refine your draw stroke, accuracy, recoil management, and fight-speed performance, then expand into groundwork, unconventional shooting angles, complex-threat responses, and articulating legal and physical justifications for your actions.

Students need to bring a reliable handgun, a quality holster, at least three magazines, 800–1000 rounds, range-appropriate clothing for an outdoor range, eye/ear protection, cleaning gear, water, and lunch.
Optional comfort items like knee/elbow pads, a ground mat for shooting from the ground, and a durable chair are encouraged.

This is a moderately physical course requiring focus, mental engagement, and a willingness to push your skills to the next level.

The course is taught by Adam Winch, a certified Master Instructor, former law enforcement officer, SWAT member, MP, and founder of Defenders USA.
