Many firearm training courses are designed to develop the skills needed to shoot accurately, often at increasingly long distances. Instructor Troy Price of LMS Defense has a different view of things when it comes to defensive pistol use, and he’s developed a training course that keeps all the shooting within 10 feet of the target. American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach was invited to participate in a pilot run of Zero Distance Pistol, and he spoke with Price about the theory and techniques at the foundation of the class.
