Practical Tactical teaches firearms training, safety, and self-defense instruction in Missouri. They've been operating since 1999 and focus on giving shooters actual information—not movie myths or corporate marketing fluff.
Their instructors teach the fundamentals that actually matter:
Ammunition Selection - Matching caliber to your firearm's specifications, understanding FMJ rounds for practice versus hollow-point for defense, and selecting the right load for hunting applications.
Shooting Stances - Isosceles, Weaver, Modified Weaver, Fighting Stance, and Tactical Stance—why each exists and when to use them.
Firearm Maintenance - Field stripping, barrel cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and regular inspection routines to keep guns reliable.
Pistol vs. Revolver Differences - Semi-automatic pistols with magazines versus revolvers with cylinders. Trade-offs in capacity, speed, reliability, and maintenance.
Real-World vs. Hollywood - They specifically address what actually happens in gunfights versus what movies show. Multiple shots (3-6 typically) required to stop threats. Limited visual confirmation of hits. Recoil and muzzle rise demand skill and practice. No infinite magazines.
Legal Considerations - Missouri's permitless carry laws, when CCW permits matter for reciprocity, gun modification risks in self-defense cases, and why consulting a firearms attorney matters if you ever have to use force.
"The use of deadly force is a tool of last resort. You can never put that bullet back in the gun and it changes lives forever."
Their instructors don't sugarcoat. They address hard truths: modifying defensive firearms (changing triggers, installing aftermarket parts) can disable safety features and create legal vulnerabilities if you ever have to use the gun. A quality firearm from the factory needs no modifications. If you hate your trigger, buy a gun with a better one—like the Walther PDP series (known for competition-grade triggers out of the box) or older Kimber R7 models.

They're straightforward about their lane: their instructors provide training and practical guidance, not legal advice. For questions about what's legal in your area or if you're involved in a shooting incident, consult a licensed attorney specializing in criminal and firearms law.
