We ended up coming here to do a PPT since it was in the middle for both of us. Finished everything and on the way home got a call there was a small error on the paperwork , luckily they were able to fix it on their end. Fast forward to this last experience, Took my 2.0 in for a port/window and Cerakote job. Was given 2-3 week time frame. Messaged them 2 weeks in to get an update and see if it was possibly ready. Responses I got made me feel unsure what was going on but just let it be and decided to wait for them to follow up for my pick up. 7 weeks passed by and I had not received any update or heard from them so I decided to send a text. Turns out my gun had been ready. Went to pick it up, and they gave it back to me completely disassembled (springs, cover plate, etc.) with the parts in a bag. I Asked if they don't put it back together since I brought it all put together and they had taken it apart. Employee said a gun smith just came in so he can ask them. Other employee at front asked which gun it was then said he would do it because gunsmith doesn't work on that. Began to work on it then said he realized it was my order and mentioned how there was something with the Cerakote being super thick and that a part wasn't sitting right and ended up having to take it to the back. Brings it back out together which is when I saw how the screw wasn't sitting flush and looked like maybe it was stripped. He took it to the back again and fixed it. (I noticed the sights were also scuffed up a bit but didn't even want to bother with it at that point) Only reason I'm doing 2 stars is because I liked the cerakote and port/window job. (Yelp won't let me organize the order of the images so I numbered the order on the picture)

This review is for Tony at Artifex. I met with him yesterday for my first private lesson. I found…read morehim to be incredibly kind and patient. Nestled deep in a shooting range in Chino Hills, secluded from other people, he had his own private section. I never thought I would be purchasing a weapon and I'm a little late in the game for tactical training because I feel like 2021 is going to pop off with a civil war but Tony was amazing, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I felt safe with him and how he instructed. It was clear, relatable and he answered all of my questions. We went over everything from safety, to position to handling and respecting the weapon. I would highly recommend a private lesson with him. He is worth every penny and I will be scheduling more with him to get my CCW. I walked away "Not" being afraid of a gun and more confident in knowing I "can" do this. That is priceless to me. Thanks Tony! Never doubt the gift you are to all of us that you teach. You are amazing and truly talented in your craft.

I had the pleasure of spending the better part of the day with Chris. His instruction is top notch. Didn't waiver on any subject and always included real world examples to truly ingrain the information. We got to the range and he showed his prowess as a instructor, but also as a marksman. As intimidating as it was to be in the presence of such an experienced shooter, he always made me feel comfortable in my inexperience. I honestly walked away feeling lucky that day. Overall, this is one of the best life experiences I've ever had. I can't wait to sign up for another course at FAST OC. Thank you Lance, Chris and to the rest of your team for your commitment to excellence and customer service.

I'm a beginner, but I went with someone who knew what they were doing and helped walk me through everything. What stood out to me was how clear the safety instructions were.

I was visiting from out of town (Oakland, CA) and stopped in to shoot. It was a weekend afternoon,…read moreso there was a bit of a wait. All in all, it was worth the wait. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It sounded like they made special accommodations for myself and some other shooters, by opening up the "tactical" range, since there were no members shooting at that time. That was awesome, because it got me on the range sooner. I also brought with me a new firearm - Canik Mete MC9LS with a new optic. I forgot my regular range bag with my tools; however, the range staff allowed me to use one of their tools to adjust my new optic. I don't know how the targets move on the regular range, but on the tactical range, you can push buttons to automatically set the targets at a specified distance, move the targets manually back and forth, and automatically have the target return. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable. $20 per lane and $0.50 targets - WAAAAAY better than prices in the Bay Area. If I were a resident of the area, I'd definitely become a member. (I overheard one of the staff members informing another customer of the benefits and price.). Top Notch outfit in my opinion.

Arron and his team are the best out there. I have been shooting for years now and have been…read moretrained by some good firearms instructors. I can tell you if you have Arron train you, you will go from having a good instructor good to a great instructor. He has improved my shooting skills to a marksman level. He teaches all levels of firearms training from beginners, moderate to experienced shooters. He focuses on proper gripping of the firearm, stance, breathing, hand and arm placement/coordination, trigger pull, reloading etc. all of which improved my skills. And he is very comprehensive in insuring his clients are informed about compliance of the law in every aspect depending on the class you are taking. His intangibles with his clients are second to none: caring, patient, informative, detailed oriented, laser focused, systematic, organized, disciplined, safety focused, self motivated just to name a few. Don't waste your time hiring a firearms instructor with an ego and attitude who intimidates you at the range (you know what I'm talking about). If you want the best, who is highly skilled and knowledgeable in this field, and who is patient, caring and understanding and will work with you based on your skill level, look no further. Arron is your guy.

Review for Tap Rack Bang Rating: 5/5 Stars…read more If you are looking for CCW training that goes beyond just "checking a box," Tap Rack Bang is the gold standard. I recently completed my first class with them, and to say the bar has been set high for any future training would be an understatement. The Coaching The instruction from Ernie and Josh is truly superior. They strike the perfect balance between being encouraging and providing the kind of necessary, corrective criticism you need when handling a firearm. They don't just watch you shoot; they coach you through every movement. Their ability to spot a mechanical flaw and help you fix it in real-time is impressive. Professionalism & Environment CEO Ernie has built an incredible team. From start to finish, the entire staff was professional, helpful, and clearly dedicated to the craft. As a first-time student, I felt welcomed but also respected as a serious trainee. The Standard This class is designed to prepare you for the real world. They ask you to push yourself for perfection, which is exactly the mindset demanded by CCW criteria. They don't settle for "good enough," and they make sure you don't either. Final Verdict I strongly recommend this class to everyone, from absolute beginners to experienced shooters. You will leave more confident, more capable, and with a much deeper understanding of what it means to carry responsibly. Also, shop at costco.
