Course description:
Micro red dot sights (MRDS) are rapidly becoming a staple in law enforcement and defensive firearms. With optics-ready pistols now widely available from nearly every manufacturer, the industry’s embrace of MRDS optics comes as no surprise. These systems offer significant advantages, making them a powerful addition to any shooter’s toolkit. However, like any new tool, mastering an MRDS-equipped pistol requires dedicated training and guidance. That’s where we come in.
APT Firearms Academy’s Micro Red Dot Sight Pistol Transition Course (Level I) is an intensive two-day program designed to give shooters a strong foundation in MRDS use. Through a combination of dry and live-fire drills, participants will learn to adapt their draw stroke and presentation for effective integration of the red dot sight. Our carefully structured curriculum ensures shooters develop the skills and confidence needed to incorporate the MRDS into their shooting repertoire, setting them up for success with this advanced technology.
If you’ve been struggling to transition to using a red dot sight on your pistol, this course is designed to help you succeed. If you already carry a red dot-equipped pistol and want to push your defensive shooting skills to the next level, this course will challenge you. For those wondering if a red dot sight is the right choice for their carry pistol, we’ll provide the knowledge and hands-on experience to make an informed decision. And if you’ve mastered iron sights and are ready for the next step, this course is tailored to take your skills further.
