Heres a link to his site. The RDS focused defensive handgun is his regular defensive handgun but for RDS equipped handguns and how they change some of the stuff you run into with an RDS. If you want to register for it the calendar on his sight has it and you just click on that link.

Defensive Handgun RDS Focus
Description:
Defensive Handgun is intended for anyone with little or no formal experience operating an RDS handgun in a self defense
manner. This course teaches safe handling and efficient operation of an RDS equipped handgun. Students will learn
correct techniques for drawing and presenting the weapon, as well as fundamental techniques for employing the handgun
in defense of self or others.
A modification to our traditional Defensive Handgun course, the RDS focus course is intended to address specifics of
RDS use not found with traditional iron sight handguns.
As Defensive Handgun is self-defense focused, students are expected to train from concealment or from their duty holster
(if LE/MIL). Defensive handgun will progress from most-to-least likely skills over the course of 16 hours to best prepare
students for handgun use in a violent encounter.
