About this video

Colion Noir interviews firearms instructor Travis Haley after completing Haley’s three-day Handgun 1 course. Haley explains his teaching philosophy and describes what beginners need to know before attending his courses. Colion emphasizes that shooters of all skill levels, including himself and experienced operators, can benefit from foundational training and that no one should feel intimidated about starting formal instruction.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that Haley’s Handgun 1 course requires only basic firearm safety knowledge, not advanced shooting skills, making it accessible to beginners including those with only a CCW permit.
• Haley teaches that focusing on fundamental processes rather than end goals helps students progress, and that even experienced military and law enforcement personnel attend basic courses to refine their skills.
• Colion observes that the training environment is supportive and reality-based rather than a high-stress military-style curriculum, with students progressing significantly over three days regardless of starting ability.
