Red Dot Sight Pistol Instructor

 As firearms technology advances, more and more individuals are starting to equip their duty pistols with red dot sights. Many are installing red dot sights and employing them without having proper training or practice with Pistol mounted RDS optics. This 16 hour RDS Instructor course will help Firearms Trainers teach shooters how to better familiarize themselves with the differences in use of iron sights vs. RDS equipped handguns and how to choose proper reliable equipment. Students will receive course material to take back to their respective agencies for full implementation of a RDS pistol program.
