Searched online for firearm safety and CCW classes, and came across Michigan pistol Academy, which had great reviews on Google. Weekday and weekend classes. Scott was our instructor, along with some input from Rick. The class was well paced, included, not only instruction on the law but firearm safety, and some hands-on training. After that, we drove to a local range and had live fire safety and shooting training. I thoroughly enjoyed the class, the price was reasonable, and the small class format made for some in-depth conversation and training. Highly recommend.

My wife and I felt comfortable in both the classroom and range as Glenn, like a caring father, guided us safely through the CPL process. I would have paid the price of admission just to hear the stories and scenarios Glenn experienced!

My advice, as Glenn would instruct, be slow to pull the trigger, but not in the case of choosing The Profession of Arms for all your training needs.

Wow, didn't know I would be attacked for writing an honest review. I would like to start off by…read moresaying if I'm lying we can clear this all up by you posting the conversation we had when I first came in the store. I literally showed you on my phone then you walked out with it and went to your computer. I said something along the lines of " I seen it for 853 so I wanted to come here and buy it." If you didn't want to sell it for that price why didn't you say something before we both wasted our time with the paperwork and background check? I'll say it again, if you think I'm lying please send the footage to me or post it. Also we seen you change the price on the computer when discussing it at your desk before you started to get upset about it. You're so flamboyant you typed in the price change with one finger hard as hell lifting your hand about 6 inches above the keyboard with each press of the numbers. This is unbelievable, also I feel like you tried your hardest to call me everything besides the hard R in the messages. I'm not calling you racist but just wow man, it sure looks like it. I didn't call you out your name not one time. I also have a class a license so I don't smoke or use any narcotics. But you seen that when we wasted our time doing the paperwork for my background check. The store we went to right after we left didn't say anything about smelling like marijuana either. Pretty sure they would have made me leave like you were supposed to since I apparently did. That just goes to show that you're lying because you're mad. This is unacceptable. And upon us leaving his car was having trouble so he parked at the bank next door and I believe he had it towed later that day. You can also go in there and fact check that as well. I will be buying another firearm soon just to see if they'll let me at another one in the area. If not I guess we'll have another problem at hand. Also please look up the word integrity and remember it's pretty important when owning and running a business. But since yours is closing I guess it doesn't matter. Edit: he has edited his response over 100 times(I'm not exaggerating). I was also threatened that if I didn't take my review down he would send a letter to the atf regarding the us smelling like marijuana. There was no smell at all so this is a lie. We were in the store for maybe 30 or 40 minutes and he admitted he didn't smell it. (Cause there was no smell once again). But stated he was send an OFFICIAL letter to the atf based on what a CUSTOMER said. If this isn't blackmail or some for of intimidation I don't know what else to call it. This man is insane and I don't believe he should be able to operate a gun store. Imagine if he was a cop, He would be the biggest liability to the entire department! He also said I was being suspicious and watched us on camera. So that would mean he watched us stand in front of the car under the hood at the bank next door (off his property) for 10 minutes? Not only did he see that, he must of watched him walk into the bank to before we left right? Well he went in to let them know his car was having trouble and asked if they wouldn't have it towed because we were coming back to get it whether it was being towed out or repaired if it was a quick fix. With that being said, why send out a 2 county wide report lying about me being a suspicious person evading cameras and saying we smelled like marijuana in the store? Why call me out my name then expect me to delete the review with a sincere apology? Why change the price in front of us on your computer before telling me to "look again"? I guess I'll edit and clarify your lies everytime you add to this.

They have a huge selection of guns, and rifles. If you want to try one without a membership, there is a fee. But with certain memberships, I think it is free. Our time on the range was good. What we received for our membership was a plus. The line for members was a little long. They only had one line open. Eventually a man came and opened another lane, but this was for non-members.

I really enjoyed the lecture portion of this class. The instructors were very easy-going and…read moreprovided information in a very practical manner. There were two instructors: one to discuss the legal aspects of being a gun owner and one to instruct in handling a firearm. Although they talked for hours, it did not seem like such a drag because they were very personable. Things started to go a little left when it came time to visit the range. I was aware that the range was at a separate location from reading a previous review. However, this was not clarified during the registration process or openly until well into the class lecture. Of course one can ASSume that the range is at a separate location based on the type of building that the class is held in. It is obvious that the range isn't on-site. Still they should inform the class well ahead of time in case someone may not be willing or able to travel to the range. The range that we used was in Royal Oak, although the instructors did not seem committed to using any particular range... When the time came to go to the gun range we all met up there only to find that the range was closed due to a power outage. Obviously this was not the fault of the instructors, but it probably could have been avoided had they made a call even if just to confirm that it was okay to bring a group at that particular time... So our class ended up dragging on into the following day. There were 3 of us in the class and the instructor did give us the option to finish up that same day, but at a range that was slightly farther away. We opted to return the following day to finish the range portion. So for the day of the range training we had been instructed to meet at the building where the class was held only to get there and wait for other class members to show up and then we drove to the range. I was confused as to why we didn't just meet up at the range. I was initially under the impression that we were meeting at the classroom building because there was something else that he needed to review before we went to the gun range... The overall experience was fair. It obviously could have been better had there not been issues with the range set-up. I did enjoy the presentation of the instructors. I at all times felt comfortable at the gun range. The instructors both seemed very experienced with the laws and handling firearms. I never once felt intimidated with handling the guns or to ask questions in the class. I feel that the issue with the range, although could have been avoided, was an isolated incident and it doesn't impact the knowledge base of the instructors. In addition to the basics of gun ownership and CPL/CCW they initiated thought-provoking scenarios and other considerations for general safety.
