Just as red dot sights started out slow for rifles and ultimately became the standard, the same is projected to occur with duty pistols. As technology continues to get better, the red dot sights will become more prolific. Instructors need to know the technical aspects of these sighting systems and the best way to conduct transitional training for them.

This 2-day / 16-hour instructor development course is designed to provide instructors with technical information related to red dot sights, mounting options, and holster considerations. In addition, instructors will learn the best way to conduct transitional training and the types of drills to run to address the common concerns associated with the use of RDS on duty pistols.

This course is approved by the NRA LE Division for 16 hours of continuing education credit.
