Course Description:

The Low Visibility Operator (313) is an advanced 3-day course on covert carrying of pistols, compact rifles/sub-guns and other supporting equipment in non-permissive environments. Students learn the essential skills for concealing and drawing their primary carry pistol and fixed blade knife from regular street clothes in high threat surroundings. In additions, students learn the essential skills for concealing and deploying compact rifles/sub-guns from discrete carry bags as both an immediate and planned response. Close range evolutions will focus on quickly defeating the cover garment for fast, first shots on target or knife strikes to vital anatomy. Long range evolutions will focus on delivering precise shots with primary carry pistol or deploying compact rifle/sub-gun for increased range, firepower and effectiveness. Subjects covered include: concealed carry methods, defeat methodology, compact rifle/sub-gun setup, discrete carry bag setup, fixed blade knife techniques, and integrated pistol/rifle/knife techniques. A major objective is maintaining the lowest visibility possible until the last, best option is necessary to stop an attack with either primary carry pistol or compact rifle/sub-gun and break contact. Students are provided real time feedback and corrective strategies based on performance and specified needs. Additional subjects include: movement, multiple threats, choosing cover garments, fixed blade carriage, sling tension method and soft armor incorporation.
