PCC
This class explores the strengths and boundaries of such tools, where they are best suited, and how to effectively use them in a defensive situation. Wound ballistics, barrier penetration, psychological vs physiological 'stops', and bullet types are reviewed to help students make informed decisions. In addition to caliber selection, action type, & basic utilization a thorough discussion and demonstration of accessories to enhance their capability is included. Movement, multiple target engagement, failure drills, reloading/malfunction clearing are all thoroughly studied. Students leave with enahnced skills in using their PCC, culminating in firing the MA Police Patrol Rifle Qualification course.
