Hay all. We touched this trainer on another thread. I just finished up a Tactical Pistol 1 course from Strike Tatical Solutions (www.striketactical.com).
Let me tell you it was nothing less than an eye opener in reguards to my previous outlook on CQB and how I look at it now. The class was two days long . The training was demanding and had only one standard. If you did not pass the shooting test at the end of the course you did not get any cetificates. Nothing at all. Just your wounded pride and the (hopefully) desire to train harder, master the techniques and retest.
There were 18 people in the class. There were a mixed lot of coppers, some with prior military experience and some without. Out of the 18 only 5 passed the shooting test. They gave you three attempts to pass.
The test consisted of fireing 10 rounds within a time frame. During which you must clear a malfunction and a reload. In addition you are moving and using verbal commands. Everythig was done on the move except for the firing and had to be done according to their standards. If you didn't reload the right way or you malfunction clearing was done incorrectly you failed. If you did everything right but, missed the target you failed. Target size was 3X5.
Strike Tactical opened up another location in the Nebraska area to reach out to other areas.
I highly reccomend that if your LE or Mil that you look into the training. They offer handgun, rifle and blade classes. Well worth the money. And if you have a problem with the money, ask yourself, "how much is my life and the life of my friends worth?"
By the way, I passed on the first go at it.
