NRA instructor Nikki Turpeaux, lead instructor and founder of the Get a GRIP Personal Defense and Firearms Training Program, is a featured instructor of Panteao Productions’ “Make Ready” video series, and provides high quality tactical and defensive training throughout the United States.
With bases in Alpharetta, GA, and Houston, TX, Turpeaux and her mobile training unit offer a wide range of tactical courses in handgun, shotgun and rifle disciplines, along with its ever popular Get A GRIP Ladies program. In her spare time, she enjoys shooting IDPA matches with her GLOCK 19 and GLOCK 26 with XS Sights at ranges in the Atlanta area.
Here’s what she packs in her favorite bag, a 5.11 COVRT 18 backpack.
