Run the Gun is the most handling-dense course in the Shooting Program — and the one that separates shooters who know the fundamentals from those who can execute them when something goes wrong.

Where Level 1 built the habits of the shot, Level 2 builds everything that happens when the shot doesn't happen, and when the magazine runs dry. You'll learn to identify and clear all three malfunction types without coaching, execute emergency and tactical reloads under live-fire pressure, and engage multiple targets with a 360° post-string scan that becomes automatic before Level 3 introduces the holster draw.

The shot timer is introduced here — not as a pressure device, but as a diagnostic tool. Your speed-accuracy threshold is identified and logged. That number becomes your Level 3 starting point.
