NTAC Skill Maintenance: Low Light Fundamentals

Instructor:NTAC Team

Class length: 2 hours

Even during the day, low light conditions still occur in areas like parking structures, public garages, or service corridors.  Darkness significantly impacts your ability to clearly see objects, individuals and potential threats; in a self-defense situation, the successful use of illumination will give you a critical advantage.

This course will provide you with the fundamentals of integrating a hand held or weapon mounted light into your self-defense training, and consists of two modules:

• • Examples of various types of handheld and weapon mounted lights
  • Carry and deployment of lights
  • Integrating the light into your firearm deployment
  • Manipulating the light and pistol simultaneously
  • Live fire practice to compare and evaluate the light deployment that works best for you
  • Live fire practice under different lighting conditions and scenarios

Required items:

• • A hand held or weapon mounted light; we strongly recommend your flashlight has a momentary tail switch/button
  • Your EDC handgun and two extra magazines
  • Pistol holster
  • 200 rounds of ammunition
  • Eye and ear protection

Recommended items:

• • Your EDC spare magazine carrier
  • Extra magazines
  • Pen and notebook
  • Water and snacks to sustain you (we will have a short break for lunch)

Our preferred flashlight is the M5 by Powertac:
