Practical Firearms Training for Self Defense

Highlands Defense provides a safe and inviting environment for students of all levels of experience. Our mission is to provide high quality instruction for people who want practical skills to protect themselves in everyday life. We want people to build confidence in their abilities and the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge and experience that professional training can provide.

Our carefully developed program takes students from the absolute basics of safety and firearm operation to more advanced topics. This program is truly designed for people who may have zero prior experience. We invite people from all backgrounds. That includes people who may feel uncomfortable around firearms and just want to see what they're all about. If you've been trying to decide to take a class, I want to welcome you to come out to a Pistol Basics class and experience a safe and inviting environment where everyone learns at their pace.

We offer a range of classes from the basics of safe handling to more advanced defensive skills. Maybe you want to brush up on the basics or learn how to use a new piece of equipment. All of our classes are held at Pikes Peak Gun Club.

We offer many classes to the general public and can arrange private classes. Contact us to discuss your specific training needs.
