This is the second time taking this course and instruction…read more Same as the first time. Phenomenal training, friendly teaching and tons of great information. I've been shooting for the last 15 years. From the casual aspect, the super duper tactical aspect, and now just the conceal carry aspect. I also use to instruct my self part time back in the day. So my knowledge and view point of shooting is vast. And I still learned some new things from them. Good point of views and instruction from them that made me a better shooter. And more prepared for daily carry. Great groups of guys and girls teaching the classes. No filler, no bad info. No nonsense from guys who want to show people Hollywood moves that don't actually help. Very inviting to all types. Casual, older, younger. Tactical and new shooters. Men and women. Very well tailored and one of the better pistol courses I've taken. Highly recommend. Will probably be one of the only classes I take for my CCW from here on.

The instructor was solid, knowledgeable, patient, and did a really good job breaking everything down without overcomplicating it. The class itself was well run, and I felt like I actually learned something useful rather than just checking a box. They also sell guns, accessories, ammo and offer additional classes and trainings, plus they provide FFL services. I'd definitely recommend them! -Michael

What attracted me most was that the class was mostly Online. What started as me just trying to complete something to check a box, turned into an engaging training experience. Mr. Galletta has both a passion and a skill for teaching. Although it started as an online course, it felt like I was sitting in the classroom gaining the experience I needed. Following the online course, I also signed up for the live fire qualification. I had the pleasure of Mr. Galletta personally overseeing my qualification. From speaking directly to him, he genuinely cares about giving you the tools you need to protect yourself. I will be using this company for all future renewals, training and referring anyone wants proper firearm training.

I liked that it was very hands on. One of the first things we learned was how to safely clear a pistol where our instructor Yesenia walked us all through the steps individually. After the in class portion, you head to the range, and later get your course certificate. If you don't have your FSC, you can take the test for that as well. I'm very happy with the instruction I received and am looking forward to more classes and training here.
