Class Description
Do you have a pistol mounted red dot on your sidearm? Did you just get it or are you having trouble finding the dot or hitting what you want to hit?
Join us for an opportunity to develop the mechanics and skills to run your pistol with an optic fast and consistently. Cajun Arms bring you tips, tricks, and methodology from 5 years of using an RMR as a daily concealed carry and on the range for training and teaching.
This is not a beginner class. Students should pass Defensive Carry 1.0 or equal for eligibilty. We will review the draw and modify it, but students are expected to be familiar with and handle their pistols safely.

Tuition Deposit Policy
We typically fill our classes and turn students away as the class date nears. Be sure you can attend the class date for which you sign up. Should you become unable to attend a class, you can use your deposit for another class offered within one year of the original class date provided you give at least 72 hour notice to us. We will subtract any upfront costs we incur such as class materials from the deposit. Cancellations shorter than 72 hours and no shows forfeit their deposit. Thank you. NO REFUNDS.
Home-built Gun Policy
We do not allow the use of 80% home built firearms in our classes such as “Polymer 80” pistols and “80” lower” rifles or pistols. A general rule of thumb: if it does not have a serial number, do not bring it.
These guns have proven to be unreliable in class.
If you bring one to class, and do not have a back-up, or there is not a rental gun available, you will need to leave the class. No refund is given. Thank you for your cooperation.
