Home Defense Essentials

$349 per visit
On-site. At your home. No range required.
Most home defense training happens at a range, with generic scenarios that have nothing to do with your house. This doesn't. DCI comes to you. We walk your property, assess your entry points, identify your blind spots, and build a room-by-room defense plan based on your actual layout, your family, and the firearms you already own. You'll leave with a written action plan, not a certificate. Covers exterior threat assessment, entry point vulnerabilities, safe room identification, firearm storage positioning, low-light scenarios specific to your floor plan, and shoot/no-shoot decision zones inside your own home. Built for Miami and South Florida homeowners, renters, and parents who want a real answer to what to do if someone gets inside.

Defensive Pistol: Level 2

$225 per student
The next step for Level 1 graduates ready to move beyond safe handling into real defensive application. This 3-hour intermediate course covers drawing from a holster, lateral movement while shooting, transitioning between multiple targets, malfunction clearance under pressure, and speed reload drills. The skills that separate someone who can safely handle a firearm from someone who can confidently use one when it matters. Requires completion of DCI Pistol Level 1 or equivalent documented training.

Pistol Level 3: Advanced Tactics

$275 per student
DCI's most advanced group pistol course. Reserved for graduates of both Level 1 and Level 2 — prerequisites are strictly enforced. This 4-hour session covers high-stress performance drills that replicate real adrenaline response, reduced-visibility and low-light shooting, dominant and non-dominant hand shooting, multi-target engagement sequences, and the tactical difference between cover and concealment. For serious students committed to reaching the highest level of civilian defensive pistol proficiency in South Florida.
