Close-Quarter Carbine (CQC) addresses the use of the police patrol rifle within short ranges. This class replicates the use of the carbine inside houses, mobile homes, schools, etc.; in short, anywhere where a handgun is normally used.
The class covers equipment, fighting stances, slings, dynamic movement, shooting from unusual positions, aggressing to the opponent, and combat accuracy. We will cover transitions to handguns, malfunction clearances, the use of lights, speed reloads, and striking with the rifle. Special attention will be given to muzzle position relative to an opponent at close range, and to active counter-measures during weapon retention.
THIS IS NOT A BASIC RIFLE CLASS! Students should have previously satisfactorily
completed a patrol rifle operator class. A short proficiency assessment will be conducted on day one, and unprepared operators will be sent home.
Instructor:
The class is taught by Jeff Hall, a CJTC master instructor. Hall is a retired Alaska State Trooper LT, former paratrooper, and martial arts Grandmaster.
