If you have any other questions not addressed here, please don’t hesitate to contact us
Do I need to take Safe Start first?
Home Defense Fundamentals requires completion of Safe Start or equivalent handgun safety training. If you are new to firearms, have limited experience, or have not trained or handled a handgun recently, Safe Start is the better first step to build comfort and confidence.
Is this class for beginners?
This class is considered intermediate. It is designed for people who already understand basic handgun safety and are ready to begin applying those skills in a realistic training environment.
How is this different from Safe Start?
Safe Start focuses on beginner handgun safety, comfort, and foundational skills. Home Defense Fundamentals builds on that foundation with guided shoothouse training, realistic home-defense scenarios, movement, threat identification, and decision-making under pressure.
Will I receive feedback?
Yes. You’ll receive a personalized debrief to help you understand your performance and identify areas for improvement.
Will I use a real firearm?
No live firearms are allowed in our facility. PracTac uses simulation-based training tools in a controlled environment.
