I thought I'd miss the window to pick up a Glock amidst the recent ban, but this store gave me an explanation and scenario where I could still purchase and pick up timely. I know they were still making a sale, but it was nice to feel like they were willing to properly inform me of what I actually needed to purchase and the timelines I needed to meet. After living in Nevada for a few years, the California laws take some readjusting to. I would say I "would" be back here for another purchase, but I'd be surprised if one of my next two firearms purchases aren't from here. Would definitely recommend at least stopping by and seeing what they have (I'm a sucker for used/old guns...)

That's why I keep going back to them.I just took my CCW Renewal class with One On One. And it was the most comprehensive CCW I have had.

And they even taught us the correct and safe way to draw, and afterwards we practiced clearing malfunctions. The classroom presentation was very thorough, the best I have experienced yet.

As a female I truly wanted to find a class to teach and certify me in order to protect myself…read more However the response from this organization was well under par. After (3) emails and phone messages, I was finally contacted back and told that the instructor (female) would see what she could do to help me to find a class which was in proximity to my location. She never did..... I was just left with nothing. No follow up no email no phone call. It was terribly disappointing and definitely put a bad taste in my mouth about pursuing certification. After you're truly hyped up about being part of a class of females to feel more comfortable and at ease my enthusiasm was soon diminished by the lack of professionalism in following up. I understand that we all have other responsibilities in our lives and things happen and come up. However if you're going to be in business I feel that there should be a certain amount of accountability that you owe to the public. Otherwise you shouldn't publish misleading information giving the impression that you're going to follow up. Because after a reasonable amount of time after I've reached out number times the end result was that you dropped the ball again and failed me.

My husband and I, along with 3 friends took the Skills, Drills and Scenarios class with Ron Givens…read morethis weekend. He was very thorough with assessing our skills and giving each of us feedback at the beginning of the class. We moved into several static target shooting drills. We then worked on scenarios, where Ron set up several "rooms" where we made entrance and cleared the room before finding the paper target "perpetrators" who were holding a paper target "hostage". We finished off the class by working some speed drills using steel targets at several distances while being timed. The class was exactly as advertised...skills, drills and scenarios. Ron was very thorough in his safety briefing at the beginning of the course, as well as explaining his credentials. Interlaced throughout the various drills was a lot of very helpful tips for each of us on how we could improve our skills and tactics. He was very patient in working with all of us, but me in particular as I was the least skilled out of our group. I never felt belittled or discouraged. You could tell his only intention was to help grow each person in their skill level. We are all looking forward to taking more classes in the future and couldn't recommend Liberty Firearms Training more highly!

I finally decided it was time to stop being nervous and actually go to the range. After reading the reviews, I decided to check this place out, and I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I told them it was my first time at the range, and they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and help me get set up. That made a huge difference because walking into a range as a newbie can feel a little intimidating. Once I got to my lane, I was only there for about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My confidence definitely grew, and I left feeling way more comfortable than when I walked in. Overall, great first experience. Friendly staff, helpful guidance, and a welcoming environment for beginners. I'm looking forward to coming back for more practice -- and this time, I promise I won't wait another two years.

We all know, purchases / transfers in California are difficult and wrought with bureaucracy & nonsense. This shop, makes it simple and easy for you to get it done. In addition, they have a very nice indoor range with a VERY wide multitude of rental firearms. Aside from the good customer service & cool indoor range, they had an incredibly wide variety of stock for sale. I noticed they had VERY fair prices, like some firearms were easily $100-125 less a piece than the FUDD gun shops here in (510) Alameda County. I would say the top highlight of this gun shop was the lack of FUDD. I experienced & saw / heard zero FUDD nonsense. Just straight up good, solid, friendly customer service & plenty of great products to choose from. It's also noteworthy that they had a really good inventory of ammo for reasonable pricing. I'll definitely be spending some more money here. Keep it up guys!!

Awesome Experience!!!!…read more Went here yesterday with a group of people and it was an experience that everyone should have! We were all pretty much average or below shooters before this class. John taught us the basic fundamentals on how to build sturdy triangles with our arms, bodies and legs to increase accuracy.
