Short Barrel Revolver
Gaining the advantage with the gun you carry the most and likely shoot the least!
In our Florida climate one of the most common carry methods used is to carry a snub (short) barrel revolver in a pants pocket. Another common method is off-body carry of a snubby in purses or fanny packs.
Handling these smaller firearms… the specific manual of arms that they require and your ability to deliver decisive hits in life threatening encounters depends upon your familiarity and conditioning. These weapons provide certain advantages over larger firearms, but demand intimate knowledge of the challenges they present as well.
Here is an 8 hour class that will provide you with a solid skill set from which you may develop an effective action plan with regard to small revolvers.
While we will allow any safe operating double action revolver with a short barrel and center-fire cartridge combination to be used in this class, we cannot in good conscience allow the use of .22 caliber rim-fire firearms.
