Dynamic Civilian Handgun-25 (DCH-25)

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (October 12-14, 2022)

12 students working on the ‘buddy’ system of safety

A deep dive into handgun training: This class is perfect for established shooters and those new to training. Upon successful completion of the DCH-25 student’s will have completed similar training to our Handgun sequence (Basic Defensive Handgun, USCCA Concealed Carry, Tactical Handgun I, and Tactical Handgun II) and will be qualified to start taking our Tactical Handgun III class if they have not already done so.

Longer term goals/notes.

The goal of this first multiday class is to establish a second ‘tier’ of training at Indy Arms. Multiday classes would be a separate ‘line’ of training at Indy Arms and would not ‘compete’ or even technically be in the sequence of our regular 4-hour classes. The intention is to create an open multiday class open to shooters wanting to develop of further expand on their skills in a small class format with multiple seasoned professional instructors providing feedback.

Next Steps

The goal would be to offer the DCH-25 class twice a year
The addition of a second class; DCR-25 (Rifle/long gun) in 2023 (going to 3 classes total in 2023)
Additionally, if successful, offering a DCH II-25 open to those that had taken and ‘passed’ DCH-25 in 2024 going to 4 classes total each year
