Spend less on gear
Every method we use to buy a firearm for 40% below market price, and the gear the ranges would rather you did not find out where they buy, and more.
A new approach that gives you real confidence with your firearm while saving you thousands. Without living at the range, and without paying thousands for training that never quite answers the question.
0:00 / 0:00
It is on a country where ammunition costs what it costs, and on the fact that nobody really answers the questions that matter.
All of it builds serious chaos in your head. The pistol that was supposed to bring you peace of mind now brings nothing but noise.
Such as: how do you manage an incident?
What does a malfunction look like?
How do you even train properly?
What if we told you
A group of armed citizens exactly like you formed in this country.
On your side, not politicians and not businessmen. They collected every question a new or veteran licence holder asks from A to Z, built a recorded training programme that teaches you how to actually improve and gain real confidence, and put all of it into one digital course.
Confidence with your firearm
Saved on what you spend on ammunition
Improvement in your ability as a shooter
And the biggest part? This course was written together with the most selective units in Israel, to reach maximum accuracy.
Look at this figure
A citizen who does not know their own firearm will not know what to do when it counts.

Citizens we walked to a licence
It sounds funny, but I came into the firearms world entirely by accident. I live near one of the communities along the Lebanese border, and on that black Saturday my life changed for good.
I felt my family was in extreme danger, that I was losing control and that their safety was slipping through my fingers with nobody there to protect them. At the time I had no combat knowledge, I was not armed, and I had not served as a combat soldier. I understood I could not sit on my hands, and I decided to take responsibility and act as fast as I could.
I got my firearms licence, trained day and night and turned into a fighting machine. During the Iron Swords war I joined a combat unit for the first time, under rocket fire in the north. Today I pass my knowledge on to armed citizens and train with special units.
I saw how much confidence a personal firearm gave me, and I understood that citizens cannot stay indifferent any more. That is how NES Defense was born.
After walking more than 1,500 Israelis from nothing to their firearms licence, we understood it was not enough, because they still lacked confidence with the weapon, and if they are not carrying it, we achieved nothing.
You are right that training is very expensive and takes a great deal of time. So we built the first solution of its kind in Israel, our flagship course, Fighting Citizen, which teaches you how to save thousands and explains exactly how to improve, how to gain confidence with the firearm and how to manage an incident. We built it digitally to make it available at a comfortable price to as many Israelis as possible, so that saving money never comes at the cost of being ready.
If you have read this far we will tell you only the truth, and it hurts. We live in Israel, a country where an attack happens every couple of days and anywhere at all, and anyone who assumes it will not reach them is a news item two days later. Being ready always means acting today, now.
Our course was written in blood. Elite operators sharpened it and we brought it down to the ground, end to end, from the training that saves you hours at the range and a great deal of money, to an answer for every question you have.
So if you are even slightly worried, or you think you are not really ready, this is the answer. And here is our best price for you, precisely because you read this far.
The price of real confidence and real peace of mind is
The answers to most of the questions we get from you
Anyone in the process of getting a firearms licence, and anyone who already holds one, new or veteran. It is also for anyone who wants to spend less on ammunition and gear while gaining real confidence with their firearm.
Anyone with a criminal record, anyone under 21, and anyone who neither holds a licence nor plans to get one.
Twelve chapters and thirty-four lessons, from the law and pistol types through grip, trigger control, stripping and malfunctions, concealment, carry positions and ammunition, to decision-making and the practical drills. The full syllabus is on this page.
₪590 instead of ₪1,180.
No. The course was built around the questions a new licence holder asks, and it starts from the beginning, but a veteran holder gets the practical half, which is where most people find they have gaps.
