The training of firearms instructors must go beyond operational technique. It requires a professional mindset focused on clear knowledge transmission, the development of student autonomy, and a continuous pursuit of personal and technical growth. This article offers a practical reflection on the role of the instructor as a technical educator, rather than a central figure of authority. Based on pedagogical foundations and real-world teaching experiences, the text examines the risks of instruction centered on ego, performance, and control. Instead, it advocates for an approach grounded in study, purposeful repetition, constructive feedback, and encouragement of critical thinking and research. A skilled instructor does not aim to be followed, but to be surpassed. They teach so others can do better. The goal of this study is to inspire a new generation of firearms educators who think, teach, test, and evolve with solid knowledge, ethical teaching practices, and true commitment to the technical field of security.
