No Fail Pistol - Registration

The Presscheck No-Fail Pistol Course (2 Days) is designed to equip shooters with the skills to make high risk / high reward pistol shots in critical situations.

This 20 hour course stresses the importance of being able to place accurate hits on small, moving, and limited exposure critical areas of the human body to instantly cease all motor function or cause rapid unconsciousness, usually resulting in death.

THE PRESSCHECK MISSION

Presscheck Training and Consulting, LLC. is a Disabled Veteran owned small business founded in 2015 to provide training to Military, Law Enforcement and vetted civilians in Marksmanship, tactics, Close Quarters Combat, Urban Operations, and Night Vision as well as other restricted subject matter. Presscheck also provides Subject Matter Expertise (SME) support to the firearms, tactical, and defense industries in the areas of new product design, business development, human factors engineering, and brand marketing. Presscheck currently provides various services for Blue Force Gear, Chambers Custom, B.E. Meyers & Co., and Sons of Liberty Gun Works.

In 2019, Presscheck collaborated with world-famous gunsmith and custom 1911 manufacturer, Joe Chambers of Chambers Custom, to design a duty-grade custom 2011 pistol with a revolutionary mini red dot sight mounting system. This weapon, the Nightfighter, became the first Chambers Custom Pro-series pistol released to the market. Presscheck and Chambers Custom continue to evolve the platform for duty applications with the 2020 release of the Lightfighter 2011 pistol.
