2/28/27 – Advanced Pistol Skills

ADVANCED PISTOL SKILLS

This course is for the shooter who already owns the basics; solid marksmanship, dependable reloads, routine malfunction clearing, and a practiced holster draw. If you’re comfortable on the line and hungry for next-level challenges, this class will make your pistol skills indestructible. Through some of Tatiana’s signature drill sets like the Compass Drill and building into the Tempest, you’ll train to solve problems faster, shooting from either hand. Make your gun an extension of a decision you’ve already made, not the obstacle between you and it.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
✔ Ambidextrous Performance – Shoot, reload, and clear malfunctions with either hand.
✔ One-Handed Fight Skills – Manage reloads, malfunctions, and target engagement effectively when only one hand is available.
✔ Progressive Drill Sets (Assessment → Compass → Tempest) – Move through structured progressions that escalate stress, speed, and complexity.
✔ Dry Fire to Live Fire Integration — Use focused dry-fire practice to ingrain mechanics, then validate under live fire with expert coaching.

Advanced Pistol Skills is not a beginner’s course – it’s designed for shooters who are already comfortable with handgun fundamentals, and should you choose, holster skills. This hands-on, high-impact course is designed for experienced semi-auto shooters ready to elevate resilience, versatility, and confidence with their pistols. Expect precise coaching, demanding drills, and measurable improvement you can take to the range, and any situation.

“I’ve been shooting for years, but Advanced Pistol Skills took me to the next level. The drills were tough but eye-opening, and Tatiana’s coaching was spot-on. By the end of the day, I was confidently handling the gun with either hand and fixing problems on the fly.”
