SA Firearms Instruction & Training - LTC qualification (248/250 points)

It's always a joy to find people who have a passion for what they do and do it well. Lou is a…read morefantastic instructor who loves his job, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole combo class (beginner's plus LTC qualification). I never fired a gun before in my life and by the end of the 2 hour class, I was two points away from a perfect score for my LTC qualification! A testament to his skill as an instructor. I am especially pleased he was adamant to call out when I got sloppy and forgot proper form. I kept repeating a lot of the same mistakes, and he was like a gentle drill sergeant, reminding me to "find your trigger!" lol That is exactly what I need, and greatly appreciate it! Some things folks might like to know as well: I loved that we started out with a laser pointer that was the perfect model of a Glock; I felt safe starting with the basics on that. I also really appreciated that he adapted to my skill level--accelerating past unnecessary practice when I was doing well and slowing down and focusing when I had errors to fix. (Also appreciate the professionalism sticking to the time schedule!) He was encouraging and believed in my skill, and I was very proud of my marks! He said at the beginning of the class he hoped that I'd be stoked to get a gun by the end of the class--and he was absolutely right! I loved his Smith & Wesson m&p compact .22 that he lent me for the class, and I will probably be getting one myself. He has been super generous with his time and advice outside of class as well from offering to let me shoot his 9mm after class to get a feel for the difference in recoil, to telling me about different guns, gun stores, and even shooting competitions! I look forward to making shooting not only a self-defense skill, but also a fun hobby as well! Thank you, Lou!

My husband and I had a couples session with Lou today. Lou is an exceptional instructor, not only…read morevery well versed in firearms and safety, but with the utmost patience for two individuals who had never fired guns before. Of course, he needed much more patience with me, but he never once made me feel like I just wasn't getting it (vision and depth problem). My husband, on the other hand, did great! Lou explained everything in terms we were able to understand as new gun owners. We both took away a LOT from today's session. A most enjoyable experience, and we highly recommend Lou as an instructor.

World class service at Nardi's Gun Club. Perhaps a little has to do with the buildings history as a…read morehigh end Gentlemens club because the last time I felt this serviced was at a high end gentlemens club. Came here on a day trip in March with my Dad who came to visit me in Austin from Dallas. On our adventure, we unexpectedly ended up at Nardis. Chris took plenty of time and good care showing us options of "specialty" products that we had no idea even existed. After over an hour of thorough explanations, my Dad made a decision to put an exquisite Diamondback 9mm on layaway. After 3 months of anticipation, excitement and planning our next Father son adventure we returned this past Saturday to finalize our purchase and take possession of the firearm. After quickly and seamlessly passing the background checks, Chris and Marcus invited us to stay and shoot with them and kindly waived the range fee. It was a good thing because there were a couple of things not right. One was with the optic and another was a faulty spring inside the firearm itself. Without hesitation, Chris brought in the Gunsmith (don't know his name but respectfully refer to him as wonder boy) who seems to be a mechanical genius and through a series of troubleshooting tactics solved our problem. Bottom line, no one was going to allow us to leave without everything being perfect. In today's day and age, service like this is non-existent. So much gratitude to Chris, Marcus, Wonder Boy and every single employee of Nardi's Original Gun Club off the I-10 East in San Antonio, Texas. God Bless you all. I will make the 2 hour drive every time. You have a new customer for life.

Best experience we've had! The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and -- most importantly…read more-- extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to walk my husband through everything step by step since it was his first time at a range, which made the whole experience feel safe, comfortable, and not scary at all. You can really tell they care about both safety and making guests feel confident. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone, especially beginners!
