NRA Basic Handgun Course

What is the NRA Basic Pistol Course ?

The NRA Basic Pistol Course is a training program offered by the National Rifle Association (NRA). This course is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely and responsibly use handguns for self-defense and recreational shooting. It covers essential topics related to handgun safety, marksmanship, and firearm fundamentals.

Here are some key components of the NRA Basic Pistol Course:

  1. Safety: Safety is a paramount concern in the course. Students are taught the fundamental rules of safe gun handling, including how to safely load, unload, and store firearms.
  2. Firearm Types: The course typically covers various types of pistols and revolvers, including their components and how they operate.
  3. Ammunition: Students learn about different types of ammunition, how to select the appropriate ammunition for their firearms, and how to safely handle and store ammunition.
  4. Shooting Fundamentals: The course covers the basics of marksmanship, including proper stance, grip, sight alignment, and trigger control.
  5. Shooting Positions: Students are introduced to different shooting positions, such as standing, kneeling, and prone, and practice shooting from these positions.
  6. Live-Fire Exercises: The course includes live-fire range time where students can apply the skills they've learned in a controlled environment under the guidance of certified instructors.
  7. Cleaning and Maintenance: Proper cleaning and maintenance of handguns are emphasized to ensure their safe and reliable operation.
  8. Legal and Ethical Considerations: Some courses may briefly cover the legal and ethical aspects of using firearms for self-defense, although this aspect varies depending on the specific course and instructor.


The NRA Basic Pistol Course is typically offered by certified NRA instructors and is 8 hours in length. It's suitable for beginners and those who want to establish a solid foundation in handgun safety and marksmanship. Successful completion of the course may also be a prerequisite for obtaining a concealed carry permit in some states.

Please note that the content and curriculum of NRA courses may evolve over time, so it's essential to check with the NRA or a certified instructor for the most up-to-date information on course offerings and requirements. Additionally, local and state laws regarding firearms and training requirements may also apply, so it's crucial to be aware of and comply with these regulations.
