Jeff Gonzales and I are teaching what we think will be a very unique training opportunity for those of you who live (or are willing to travel to) Central Texas at the end of the month.
Called “Near and Far: The Complete Handgun Fight,” we will be team teaching a full spectrum pistol shooting class. The course combines a day of my extreme close range gunfighting concepts with a day of Jeff teaching the long range handgun curriculum he developed for a federal law enforcement agency in the context of active killer/counter-terrorism engagement.
The official course description follows:
Near and Far: The Complete Handgun Fight is a two-day immersive training experience that prepares shooters for the full spectrum of handgun combat—from extreme close-quarters fights to precision engagements at 50+ yards. Taught by Greg Elifritz and Jeff Gonzales, this course blends real-world close-range gunfighting skills with performance-driven long-range marksmanship. Students will learn to fight for their gun in contact-distance encounters and deliver accountable hits in large, open environments where distance matters. If you’re ready to go beyond square-range skills and train for the realities of modern threats, this course delivers.
More details from Jeff:
Greg Ellifritz and I are teaming up to bring you an action-packed, two-day training experience that covers the full spectrum of handgun combat. Greg will lead students through extreme close-range gunfighting, covering retention shooting, in-fight weapons access, contact-distance shooting mechanics, and close-quarters problem-solving skills designed for real-world encounters.
I’ll round out the program by teaching long-range handgun skills that push students past comfort zones and into true marksmanship performance territory; engaging targets from 15 to 50+ yards. From braced positions to prone, this training prepares you for the realities of large, open-space threats where the distance requires skills. Together, we’re delivering a course that prepares you for every fight; near and far from arm’s length to across the street.
It should be a fun and unique learning experience. I hope to see some of you there.
