The Paladin Systems Philosophy

This is the guiding philosophy behind our training and fighting system. Our system that uses these truths as its fundamental bedrock will make you the safest and most lethal version of you.

Safety

Safety is #1 at Paladin Training Systems. We carry and own firearms for personal safety and do not take shortcuts with regards to the knowledge, skills, and attitude for firearms safety.

The Four rules of gun safety are:

1. Treat all guns as if they are loaded

2. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

3. Always keep your finger off the trigger until you have made the decision to shoot

4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it

Relevance

The typical gunfight lasts 3 seconds with 3-to-5 shots fired. 93% of gunfights occur at distances between 3-to-7 yards. 2% occur at contact distances. 5% occur between 7-to-25 yards. Paladin Training systems is relevant training that prepares you for the real fight. We teach to carry your pistol consistently, because its a lot harder to win a gunfight if you're unarmed. We teach you to carry concealed, because its safer for you and more dangerous for the bad guys. You will learn to shoot accurately and safely from contact distances out to 25 yards. You will train to safely and reliably draw service caliber sidearms from real world concealment and deliver fire accurately and rapidly at likely distances. You will learn proven real world strategies & tactics

Getting Results

There are no participation trophies at Paladin Training Systems. We have firm standards, set the bar high, and give you the tools to reach them. Our one day Level 1 training objective is to teach you the fundamentals of shooting a pistol necessary to achieve both police and military standards. We have had great success exceeding those standards and creating Army Sharpshooters and Experts. After meeting police and military standards, an LTC qualification will be a piece of cake. Our one year Best Defense curriculum will train you to win the real fight in ways that are impossible to learn over a single weekend.
