Fantastic course with David and the crew. The lectures were engaging, humorous, and interesting. There was a lot of information, but my wife and I were able to assimilate everything needed to successfully pass the written test and do well at the range. Excellent, excellent, excellent! Are you shopping for a Basic Pistol Class or advance training? 5 & 7 is the only choice. My son has taken three different courses while my wife and I took this one. Now the majority of my family has been taught by this establishment's professional and experienced instructors. I have nothing but good things to say. Well worth every penny and minute. read more

My brother and I took the Basic Pistol Safety Course. David & Joey we're the instructors that instructed the course. David & Joey we're very professional, friendly and funny! There were 2 parts to the Basic Pistol Safety Course. There was classroom time and range time. David and Joey was very thorough with the information that they taught during the classroom time. They did so good that it made everyone feel confident that they can pass the test at the end of the classroom time and everyone did pass! David and Joey was also very good instructors during the range time. We were able to shoot at different distances. During the shooting, we were able to pick and choose which pistol we want to shoot. I was very pleased that they had a Glock 19 because that is the pistol that I'm looking to get in the future and was glad that I was able to get a feel for it. Overall, I would definitely recommend them if you're looking to get into firearms! I'm for sure taking my daughter to them in the future when she gets a little older! read more

David and Joey were total professionals, yet personable. I reached out to them because my father wanted to transfer the ownership of his guns to me. 5&7 provided me with a notarized affidavit (received in the mail two days after I participated in the class) that I needed in order to fulfill one of the steps that is required of me to gain ownership. I attended the Basic Pistol Safety class and learned a lot; including the Hawaii laws pertaining to purchase, registration and ownership. The classroom instruction was very informative with people of various background (e.g., ex-military, civilians brushing up on their skills, women, young adults etc.) I enjoyed the class participation with Q & A's, and the information/lessons provided was easy to follow along. At the end of class, prior to going to the range, we learned proper hold and aim of a pistol. At the range, I was able to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom and actually make that connection. My experience with guns are only with rifles. Never having any experience in handling a pistol before was a little intimidating and harder than I thought. However, with the support and encouragement of David and Joey, I really enjoyed shooting and feel more confident in handling a pistol. Lastly, 5&7 Tactical was on-it with the COVID rules and regs. They had several bottles of hand sanitizer available throughout the classroom and upon entry to the range, and kept everyone safely distanced. Mahalo 5&7 for being approachable and for the opportunity to "talk story." I learned that in addition to the Basic Pistol Safety class, you also provide anti-abduction courses, HI guard card courses, and MORE! I highly encourage people to contact 5&7 to take a pistol safety class and inquire about the additional classes that are available. read more

We are looking to purchase our first firearm for home defense and they were able to walk us through the process and simplify it for us.

Parents, Father's, and or Husbands look no further as this is the trainer for your family. Me, my wife, and daughter took David's class to learn about gun safety. I was concerned as my wife was really intimidated about touching a gun and being around guns. I also was worried if the instructor was not patient that it may intimidate my wife even more. I am so glad that I chose David's class as he and his assistant Susan could not have been more patient and encouraging. My wife did need a little extra teaching and they graciously took the time to make sure she could do what they were teaching. She did not feel intimidated or rushed in any aspect of the class. Class was not boring at all, and they took the time to answer any questions. Thank you, David and Susan, we all thoroughly enjoyed your class and look forward to going to the range more often. read more

It was a very fun and informative class to take with my Cousin. Learned to use a variety of hand guns. Learned the process of obtaining a gun and TONS of good safety procedures. Prior to this class I pretty much knew VERY LITTLE. Now I know at least the basics of gun components and how to shoot and load a gun. I honestly use to think you can just pick up a gun and shoot it... LOL. Learned it needs to be racked or cocked... and LOTS more. David was very personable and made the class comfortable enough to ask all sorts of beginner questions. I'm very glad I took this class. Thank You David! read more

My husband and I took the BASIC PISTOL SAFETY COURSE and highly recommend this company. The instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly! Exactly what I needed! Although it's an all day class, it went by fast because everything they teach is interesting and super informative.

Again, I highly recommend them, ladies don't be intimidated, the instructors are really nice and patient! read more

Both Joey and David are extremely knowledgeable and professional, and even a newbie such as myself felt way more confident about shooting guns by the end of the class. I plan to take more advanced classes with them in the future ,but I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in gun safety and beyond. By the way, I thought an all-day class was gonna be a drag, but that wasn't the case. They're pleasant and humorous, so time actually flew by! read more

Today was the first time that I have handled and shot a gun. I was a little apprehensive about the course, but figured that an education on gun safety was more valuable than not knowing or assuming. David and Joey were the best instructors. They took the time to stress the importance of safety during every step of the course. I enjoyed the shooting range more than I thought I would. It was a great experience all around! Thank you for the valuable gun education! A day well spent! read more

If you're interested in taking a gun safety course for whatever reason, I would recommend this company! read more

Thank you 5&7 Tactical Solutions for the positive experience! read more

Amazing experience! They teach you everything you need to know about long guns (the different types, safety, ammunition, how to properly hold them and more). Highly recommended!! read more

I wanted to take the gun safety class as a means to understanding the proper handling and safety as well as looking into the strong possibility of owning a hand gun to protect my family. With the help of a friend who set up the group classroom, we learned everything I wanted to know and understand before making an informed decision. After two hours of classroom time learning everything from the mechanics of firearms, rules, regulations and gun safety, we had the opportunity to assemble and disassemble different pistols to get comfortable before we went to the range to practice with them. This made a huge difference as the instructors, Dave and Joey are excellent instructors that give you everything you need to learn without leaving a doubt in your mind. After leaving this class/training, you will be ready with confidence to pick up a firearm and protect your loved ones. Mahalo!! read more

5 Stars +++ highly recommended! David and Joey are extremely knowledgeable, and have found the perfect balance of personal and professional. I have taken two classes with them, and they were absolutely excellent. They have the ability to gear learning toward each person's skill level and need. They will make sure to alleviate any anxiety or feelings of moving beyond your comfort zone. Although I went to the class solo, I never felt alone, and left with increased confidence. But even after, David made sure to see me through each step of the process and beyond. I truly appreciate that he sincerely cares to make sure you are taken care of. He was able to take all the confusion and frustration out of what can sometimes be a challenging process. I would advocate that the basic course is good knowledge for anyone whether you plan to acquire a firearm or not. But with many courses offered, 5&7 is definitely checking all the boxes and yes, including the new requirements! Thank you again you da best! read more

This was an awesome class. Dave & Joey were knowledgeable & professional without being dry. I felt completely comfortable asking questions. I learned a lot in this class and had fun doing it. I can't wait to send my boys to this class. Honestly, there is NOT another person I would trust more to teach my kids about gun safety. Thank you for a great day! read more

I saw their add for gun safety and thought I would try them out! My husband was so encouraging, he even paid. He had taught me some, but it had been years and I have been wanting to go to a range. These guys did make it fun and easy! They are experts in their field and make the class very comprehensive and hands on. They brought many different types of 9 mm guns from their personal collection including bullets for the price. We had safety, laws and lecture first before hands on handling & laser practice. We break for lunch and go to a different location for indoor shooting practice. We get to then choose a gun we prefer for each target at different distances to pass the course. They are very accommodating and encouraging, as everyone comes from different knowledge backgrounds in the class. We all passed! Then they even have bonus round for fun at the end. Everyone seemed to enjoy the class. One person went from never being around guns to buying one on their own. Personally, I feel much more comfortable around different types of guns and in my ability from taking this course. Bring snacks and water. read more
