Everyday Carry: Cold Performance Meets Dynamic Shooting

Everyday Carry: Cold Performance Meets Dynamic Shooting

Simon Golob and I are teaming up to bring you a focused, performance-driven training experience built for real-world concealed carry. Simon will lead students through the principles of cold, on-demand performance, emphasizing technical excellence, accountability, and the ability to deliver precise hits without warm-up—because that’s how defensive shootings actually happen. Students will be tested, measured, and coached to raise their baseline performance under realistic pressure.

I’ll build on that foundation by taking those standards into motion. My block focuses on drawing from concealment while moving, managing space, creating angles, and making accurate hits on the move. You’ll work forward, rearward, and lateral movement, shoot from compromised positions, and learn to keep control of the gun and the muzzle while your feet are doing real work. The goal is to make sure your performance doesn’t fall apart the moment you have to move to solve a problem.

Together, we’re delivering Everyday Carry: Cold Performance Meets Fighting While Moving—a course that bridges measured, accountable shooting performance with the realities of dynamic, real-world defensive problems. From the draw to the last shot, this training is about making reliable hits when you’re not warmed up, not standing still, and not on your terms.

On-Demand Performance (Pistol)

Most shooters perform their best only after they’ve had time to warm up. In the real world, that luxury doesn’t exist. Defensive shootings—whether for law enforcement or armed citizens—demand cold performance: the ability to deliver accurate, accountable hits on demand, with no rehearsal and no do-overs.

On-Demand Performance (Pistol) is Pistol-Training.com’s flagship course, designed to build exactly that skill set. This class focuses equally on technical excellence and the ability to perform on demand, under realistic conditions. You will be tested to establish your current performance level, and the training will be tailored to help you raise your baseline—not just your “good day” performance.

In this one-day version of the course, Simon Golob will cover the core concepts and practices needed to build reliable, repeatable shooting performance, including:

• Building and maintaining technical shooting standards
• Understanding and improving cold performance
• Measuring performance with objective tests
• Identifying individual performance gaps and fixing them
• Hitting low-probability targets efficiently and on demand
• Managing pressure without relying on artificial warm-ups

This is not a beginner class. Students must already have solid gun handling and marksmanship fundamentals. At a minimum, students must be able to draw and re-holster safely and must pass a pre-test of five shots on a 3×5 card at 5 yards, with no time limit.

If students cannot meet these safety and accuracy requirements at the start of the course, they will not be allowed to continue in live-fire training.

Students will also have the opportunity to test for the FAST coin or FAST pin.

This course is ideal for the shooter who already has the fundamentals of marksmanship, but wants to become faster, more efficient, and more accountable at hitting difficult targets—without relying on warm-up reps to get there.

Instructor Bio:

Simon Golob (SLG) is a retired law enforcement officer who began his career with the NYPD in 1998 and later entered federal law enforcement after September 11th, supporting the Global War on Terror. Over his career, he served as a patrol officer, investigator, firearms instructor, assaulter, and sniper, deploying multiple times to Africa and the Middle East, including four tours between Afghanistan and Iraq, with experience in tactical operations, protective missions, and instruction. While serving on a full-time federal tactical team, he developed a detachment-wide firearms and CQB program and trained with numerous law enforcement and military special operations units as well as leading private training schools. SLG’s primary focus is performance-oriented concealed carry, and he was instrumental in the development of the modern AIWB holster and its derivatives. An accomplished competitor, he has placed highly at national matches, including 1st at Steel Nationals and back-to-back 3rd place finishes at the Bianchi Cup, and has won multiple rifle and 2-gun competitions.

Dynamic Shooting from Concealed

Most range training happens from a static position: feet planted, stable stance, clean sight picture. Real defensive encounters don’t work that way. In the real world, standing still creates risk, and movement is often what buys you time, angles, and space to solve the problem.

Dynamic Shooting from Concealed is a handgun course focused on building the ability to draw, move, and make accurate hits at realistic defensive distances. The emphasis is on making movement support your shooting—rather than degrade it—by learning how to manage balance, footwork, and muzzle control under pressure.

In this class, students will work on the practical skills needed to fight with a concealed handgun while in motion, including:

• Drawing from concealment while moving
• Forward, rearward, and lateral movement
• Shooting from compromised or uneven positions
• Managing space and creating angles
• Maintaining awareness while engaging targets
• Keeping control and accountability while your feet are moving

Training is built around real-world defensive problems. Threats do not wait for you to get set, square up, or plant your feet. You may need to move to access cover, create an angle, or break contact—and you still need to make accountable hits while doing it.

This is not a beginner class. Students should already have solid handgun fundamentals and be safe, competent gun handlers. The focus is not on teaching basic marksmanship, but on applying existing skills under movement and pressure.

This course is performance-driven. The emphasis is on control, accountability, and effective hits while in motion—making sure your shooting holds up when the problem requires you to move, not stand still.
