Red Dot Sights (RDS) for Duty Pistols

$400

As red dot sights on patrol rifles evolved from a niche product to standard equipment, we are seeing a similar trend with red dot sights (RDS) on duty pistols. Howver, teaching the use of RDS for pistols is significantly different from teaching for rifles. Instructors need to understand the technical aspects of these sighting systems and how to effectively conduct transitional training.

NLEFIA's 2-day, 16-hour Red Dot Sights for Duty Pistols instructor development course equips firearms instructors with essential technical information including mounting options and holster considerations. Additionally, the course covers policy implications, best practices for transitional training and effective drills that address common concerns related to the use of RDS on duty pistols.

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

Topics include:

Red dot sight (RDS) theory
Various red dot sights features, and which ones should be considered for duty use
Mounting options and considerations
Holster consideration
Policy considerations
Use of back-up iron sights (BUIS)
Weapon manipulation with mounted optic
Dealing with parallax and occluded optics
Alternate aiming techniques
Using weapon mounted and hand-held flashlight techniques with RDS (night shoot)
