II: NRA Laser Pistol Marksmanship Training
Train Like SEAL Teams, Special Forces, Marine Recon, Elite Security Contractors, Police Officers, Law Enforcement & SWAT Teams!
Forty-years of training police officers has taught me many valuable firearms tactics, street survival and high stress combat performance lessons.
The 2nd class is NLT, (NextLevel Training) 'SIRT' Laser Pistol training system, which by the way I am confident is the best method for teaching new shooters how to use today's modern handguns and is superior in maintaining the marksmanship skills of old salty shooters too!
Along with the Laser Pistols we use electronic & computerized targets to provide students with the best shooting experience, educational feedback and shot analysis. The Laser Pistols we use are not cheap video-game toys. They are expensive replicas of real handguns and have functional features similar to the Glock 17, 19, 22, 48 & 34. We also utilize a variety of popular, concealable sub-compact semi-auto & revolver pistols, such as the Glock 42/43, Ruger LC9, Ruger LCP, S&W Shield, S&W J-Frame 38, and Taurus PT111.
In order to fill in training gaps we have several 'BLOWBACK' laser pistols, which are used to demonstrate the recoil of actual live fire handguns. As a result, there will be no surprise when we get to the live fire range shooting actual handguns. This is modern leading edge high-tech training at its best.
Results: You’ll leave the class introduced to eight shooting fundamentals and several marksmanship skills and you will be confident that when these skills are applied; this is effective self-protection and it really works!
III: Live Fire Shooting Range
Extend your Firearms Training Experience with the 3rd class, which is live fire training at the Orange County Indoor Shooting Range in Brea or Prado Olympic Shooting Park in Chino.
Don't Own a Handgun: The OC Indoor Shooting Range has about 80 rental guns to choose from and novice shooters will have no problem discovering which handgun is the perfect caliber, size and fit for their use and eventual purchase.
Purchase Ammo: Ammunition is of course required for firearms training. 5150 HEAT students who have never bought a handgun in California will have no problem obtaining ammunition to fire at the OC Indoor Shooting Range.
Targets: Both the OC Indoor Shooting Range and Prado Olympic Shooting Park have a variety of targets for you to choose from.
Ear & Eye Protection: If you do not own ear & eye protection both the OC Indoor Shooting Range and Prado Olympic Shooting Park will provide the safety equipment for your use at a nominal cost.
Students will receive Four Course Completion Certificates:
- USCCA Basic Firearms Fundamentals Course
- NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course
- NRA Laser Pistol Marksmanship Training Course
- Live Fire Shooting Range Course Students will receive their "Shot to Pieces" your 1st live fire target. It will prove to the world your terrific marksmanship or marks'woman'ship skills!

NEW!!! Women’s Handgun & Self-Defense Fundamentals Training
Presented by 5150 HEAT Firearms Training Academy
Men and women come to 5150 HEAT Firearms Training Academy for the same reason – SELF-DEFENSE! But, for the past year we haven’t been filling our classroom with a gender-mixture of male and female students. Our lady students no longer feel singled out, intimidated and uncomfortable. Our Instructors and our training allows the creation of an environment that’s comfortable, flexible, malleable and changeable in order to overcome decades of behavioral differences and society's expectations, i.e. we coach the soft wiring!
This course is designed for women because we’ve been inaccurately taught that they think and learn differently from men. That combined with the fact that women have unique needs and expectations as they relate to firearms & firearms training, i.e. use of force; loud noises; recoil; concealed mechanisms; jargon; etc. We’ve eliminated the awkward testosterone driven setting of coed training and in its place we’ve allowed women to learn with others who have the same behavioral/societal expectations and soft wiring, just like you. You’re invited to join our cutting-edge firearms instruction presented in a safe and comfortable classroom setting.
Course Overview
Women’s Handgun and Self-Defense Fundamentals is a welcoming and engaging firearms training curriculum with multiple layers of instruction. We have developed four distinct levels of training that can be modified or used in combination:
1. Women’s Basic Pistol
2. Women’s Intermediate Pistol
3. Women’s Defensive Pistol
4. State of the Art LASER Training System*
The course is designed to reach interested women students who are either brand new to firearms (yes, even ladies that have never picked up a gun before) and all the way through to women who are familiar with firearms and ready to learn more about marksmanship vs. defensive shooting and take the next steps with their firearms skills, tools, and mindset.
The fundamentals of shooting will be introduced, reviewed, reinforced and built upon, while also exploring universal safety rules, situational awareness, common types of handguns, ammunition types, marksmanship skills, advanced firearms handling, defensive pistol fundamentals, cover vs. concealment, dry-firing, laser pistol training, (included in this course); AVOID, ESCAPE, DEFEND and the use of deadly force. Specifically, Women’s Handgun and Self-Defense Fundamentals is all about sharing the basics—along with the fun, the seriousness, and the importance of being a responsibly armed female. After all, you are worth protecting.
Because there is no one size fits all approach to effective training 5150 HEAT Firearms Training Academy has developed this course into an exceptional 4 to 5* hour block of instruction that covers hands on training using our state of the art LASER PISTOL training system to highlight and reinforce your learning. Students will be introduced to handgun nomenclature, acronyms and handling revolvers and semi-automatic pistols in addition to demonstrations by highly trained and experienced professional law enforcement instructors.
Our course of instruction is unique in that it stands alone and can take a novice with NO firearms education or knowledge and turn her into a confident and safe firearms handler, enthusiast and “markswoman!”
It all starts with MINDSET and ends with EDUCATION, PHYSICAL TRAINING and CONTINUED LEARNING EFFORT. Everyone will achieve confidence and proficiency from the uniquely professional high quality training provided by 5150 HEAT Firearms Training Academy!

Will Your Training Will Be Questioned
Blessed are the Peacemakers...
I have a good friend and he's a 'Peacemaker,' he's a fellow brother of the 'Thin Blue Line.' My friend's name is Gordon Graham. Gordon is very smart, very funny, very successful and of course he is very Blessed. Captain Gordon Graham has 30 plus years as a cop and he retired as a Commander with the California Highway Patrol.
Remember that TV show, CHIPS?
Yep, CHiPs - Well the macho, rambunctious Officer Francis ("Frank") Llewellyn "Ponch" Poncherello is actually Gordon Graham, (before the promotional sergeant lobotomy*). Bet you didn’t know that. If you spent an hour with him you'd quickly notice the similarities. Just like carbon copies the resemblance and likeness are so obvious.
(*) If you know Gordon Graham you'd totally understand the term promotional lobotomy! Do I really want to stick to that lame story? -- Yeah, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
During his tenure as California Highway Patrol Officer, Gordon also found the time to get his Juris Doctorate. Gordon is a COP, an ATTORNEY and one of the biggest supporters of police and firefighters that I have ever met. His education as a Risk Manager and experience as a practicing Attorney, coupled with his extensive background in law enforcement, has allowed him to rapidly become recognized as a leading professional speaker.
About 27 years ago, (then) Sergeant Gordon Graham, suggested that I, and several other police officers he was mentoring keep track of our training records and all of our law enforcement related experience wherein; we would be able to develop and articulate our collective training into actual street expertise. The idea was to create a documented file, a resume' of sorts for court testimony complete with training certificates earned and logged police incidents to establish our expertise in a wide range of subject matter over the years doing police work.
So, for the benefit of the students that I mentor on the subject of firearms safety and self-defense, I believe it's also a good idea to keep detailed training records including the contact information of the training schools attended in a file. I'd also consider keeping a log of visits to the gun range, the firearms you practiced with, the dates you practiced dry firing, the videos you watch, the magazine articles and books you read on various topics of firearms safety, tactics, self-defense, low-light, etc, etc. Keep track!
Many people are "whistling past the graveyard” when they just head off to organized firearms training classes. I bet that “most” people who carry guns every day have not attended enough structured firearms training classes.
If you haven't had any formal training in a while or if you haven't had any “official” training, please get some. Make it a priority. If, for some reason, you can’t get to a well-respected training academy, you will need to get your information somewhere else. That will typically be books or videos. What I am about to say next will make some people gasp. Your shooting skills are of secondary importance to your knowledge and understanding of the legal aspects of the use of deadly force.
Yes, your shooting skills are important, but if you are the best shot in the world with the perfect draw, a rock-solid grip, unparalleled trigger control and perfect sight alignment, you will still go to jail if you use your gun at the wrong time and'or the wrong situation. That means your knowledge and understanding of the basic tenets of the judicious use of deadly force must be impeccable. Your knowledge of the laws of the jurisdiction in which you carry your firearm must be thorough. Your understanding of the factors that allow you to take a shot must be woven into your thinking. You must not make an error in judgment, because you will be held accountable for that error. Then you must combine these elements with effective situational awareness and the willingness to engage first in conflict avoidance before you resort to violence.
All of these elements will serve the platform from which you launch your counter-attack. Your pistol training must ensure that you can put three rounds on a human-sized target in under three seconds at a range of 10 feet. I can train almost anyone to shoot that well. Understanding the rules often takes much more time than learning to shoot.
So, even without “official” training, if you are involved in a shooting, investigators will ask you why you did what you did. You should keep copies of things you have read or a list of books or study guides that show where you have gotten your information.
But this begs the question: Is the material you reference reliable? If you are getting your gun training from that guy who shot himself in the leg on YouTube, you might not want to list that on your Curriculum Vitae. Seek top-notch information from organizations like the USCCA and trainers like Massad Ayoob, Clint Smith, Tiger McKee and others. I would prefer that you get hands-on training, but if you can’t, I insist that you familiarize yourself with the concepts and information surrounding the legal use of deadly force. It is your responsibility.
And when people ask why you fired in self-defense, you will have an honest an effective answer to provide them.
"Let's Be Careful Out There" the Legacy Of 'Hill Street Blues' ... Michael Conrad as Sgt. Phil Esterhaus concluded each and every cop roll call briefing.
