About Us

OUR STORY
-
The Handgun Combatives Store was developed to better serve the students of Dave Spaulding. We focus on offering the essential products that you would want or need to have a combat effective pistol and carry gear. We leverage Dave's 30+ years in the firearms industry to filter through the gimmicks of today's gun culture. This allows us to focus on offering you essential and battle proven products. We often get asked about Handgun Combatives classes. In 2022, Dave decided to slow down and focus on his family. He is no longer offering bi-weekly classes. However, he will teach from time to time. Please follow the Handgun Combatives Facebook page for future class offerings. We also recommend checking out Wartac Combatives and Rochester Personal Defense; two of our certified Handgun Combative Trainers!

WHO WE ARE

"The Mastermind"

In 2011, Dave received his divine calling to start his own training company, Handgun Combatives. After being exposed to a plethora of tac-tards on the internet, Dave felt it was his civic duty to provide a street proven, no nonsense form of handgun training. While Dave is not allergic to gluten, he does have a low tolerance to stupidity. Dave opened the Handgun Combatives Store in 2016 to better serve his students with essential gear.

"The Sidekick"




Daryn has been with HC since the beginning helping Dave launch his social media presence and acting as a part-time camera man. To no avail, Daryn coaches Dave on not feeding the trolls, keeping his YouTube videos succinct and teaching him the ways of the internet.

"The Supergirl"
Misty and Daryn gave the HC store a facelift in 2017. Misty now serves as the voice of reason in the operation. She is responsible for all of the heavy lifting in the Handgun Combatives Store. Whether it is managing new content or adding inventory, she keeps the ship running. If you receive an order, there's a good chance she's the one that fulfilled it. If you order was screwed up, that was probably Daryn.

"The Minions"
In between binge watching My Little Pony, getting crumbs on the couch from goldfish, and drooling from teething... These two serve as apprentices, carefully learning the craft of online order fulfillment.
