Vehicle Tactics Level One, South Florida

Train Where You’re Most Vulnerable. Build Skill Where It Matters.

Most defensive encounters happen in or around vehicles, your car is one of the most dangerous places you can be when attacked. Vehicle Tactics Level One is a four-hour, advanced handgun class from Tactical U Firearms Training, designed for vetted shooters who already possess solid fundamentals and decision-making ability.

This course goes beyond static range drills, teaching you to draw, shoot, move, and make decisions in and around vehicles, including while seated, exiting under threat, and using vehicles for cover.

You must complete our Private Handgun, Handgun Fundamentals, or Gunfighting 101 classes (or demonstrate equivalent vetted skills) before enrolling. This is a high-level course requiring proven safety and control.
