The ASP firearm training was excellent. The instructors were knowledgeable, professional, and created a welcoming learning environment. As a female participant, I especially appreciated the respect, encouragement, and professionalism shown throughout the course. I felt comfortable asking questions and was treated with the same level of support and respect as everyone else. The hands on training was valuable, and I left feeling more confident in my knowledge and skills. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking for high-quality firearm instruction. read more

I had such a great experience with ASP Firearm Training. My instructor was extremely patient, professional, and knowledgeable--I learned so much in just a short period of time. The CCW training was especially valuable. It was very informative, with clear explanations and practical tips on how to be a responsible and confident concealed carry permit holder. I'm really glad I had the opportunity to train with this company. If you want to get quality firearm and CCW training in San Jose, I highly recommend ASP Firearm Training! read more

Would 100% come back and take any additional classes with these guys. For the Zoom session, Eric was amazing and knowledgable - has over 25+ years of experience. Thank you guys! read more

Steve was super nice and knowledgeable, and my session was extremely helpful! I received feedback that showed immediate improvement in my performance as well as tips and tricks and even some homework I could do to practice techniques to continue to increase my accuracy. Highly recommend read more

Thanks Eric Crawford for the online classes Lots of valuable information and I feel set for my ccw thanks boss read more

Completed the pistol 1 class. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to learn more about pistol use. I will be back for more as well! The instructors are awesome! They do not lead with ego and aggressiveness. This makes the class feel welcoming for people to ask questions and learn. You get lots of instruction and time on a hot range. Safety is clearly their top priority and we never felt uncomfortable with what was happening on our range. I brought my wife as well and she looks forward to taking more classes with ASP! read more

The personal training session was skillfully delivered, and the coaching helped me deliver a step change in my performance. read more

I was so lucky to have a private lesson with Loc yesterday. I recently purchased my first firearm and had never touched a gun in my life. I signed up for the Level 1 course and showed up with no idea what to expect. I had not even put a bullet in my firearm because I was so nervous/inexperienced. The 5 instructors had 15 students and I was the newest newbie. I was overwhelmed and yet comfortable all at the same time. The instructors are amazing. Safety is their #1 priority and the instructions are clear and they follow up with excellent structure, set up and close supervision. My equipment wasn't ideal (I bought everything on the list for the course but of course didn't get the correct things) and Loc took the time to get me properly equipped with a belt, holster and magazine pouch for my Sig Sauer p365. The patience and kindness I received was not what I expected. Loc taught me the basics at my level of comfort and at the pace I could go. He truly has a gift for instruction. I learned the basics of safety and when it was time to shoot my weapon for the first time I was so nervous. He coached me through it and never made me feel embarrassed. The rest of the class was way ahead of me and Loc did not let me compare myself and feel bad. He kept redirecting me to only focus on what I was doing and thinking. He taught me how my mind affected my shots. Of course I made mistakes and went straight to beating myself up. He would say "give yourself grace" and help me set up to shoot again. The encouragement kept me going. I wanted to leave a few times. One remarkable thing I noticed was that he observed every single tiny detail of what I was doing and how I was feeling. I learned so much because he pointed out what I needed to improve and gave me positive reinforcement for just being there and learning. I'm still processing the whole experience. It was incredible. I have been wanting to shoot for many years. I plan to take another private lesson once I'm done processing the first one. I strongly recommend Loc and ASP Firearm Training. Especially if you are a first time gun owner with no experience. read more

I'm leaving a new review as I had the pleasure of working with the ASP crew again for my recent renewal requirements. In the course of a year it looks like their business has grown and they are running as a more well oiled machine now. I was able to interact with many more of the team compared to before. I want to give shout outs to each of them. Dave, good guy as usual, friendly Loc, professional, safe, good teacher Steve, knowledgable, skilled, very calm demeanor and teaching style Eric, good lecture and knowledge Overall a good safe experience and comfortable, which is what I personally prefer from my firearms courses. I didn't take any photos to accompany this review but they may have one. Thanks again and I guess I will see you next year! read more

5 star - 10/10 would recommend. I'm signing up for pistol 2 as soon as possible. Level 1 consisted of firearm safety, malfunctions, reloads, transitions and even some rapid shooting. Able to learn and do things we otherwise can't at our local ranges. Steve was the lead instructor and was genuinely invested in what he was teaching with positive reinforcement. No intimidation or feeling less than for not knowing. Andrew was shadowing as a trainer and his background and knowledge was evident. The drills he provided were always just a dream to do but nowhere to do them. I know this sounds like a fake review but it's really not ! Would highly recommend if you're interested in a new shooting experience or developing new skills. read more

Very professional and well rounded group. I found the speed loading techniques helpful. They were also able to help with a random issue I had with scope. read more

I recently took a firearm safety and handling course at ASP Firearm Training, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the experience. Whether you're a first-time shooter or someone with more experience, this course offers something for everyone! read more

I had a great experience with the team. I was shooting early of the month so I dont remember name of everyone ( please forgive me about that) but I remember DC he was a great instructor. He will make sure you learn something while at the range. Also shoutout to Eric for great zoom class even the the length of the class and the material a bit dry but we went through smooth and great. I definitely stick with the team for all the re-qual or any future classes I need to take. read more

10/10 would recommend. I took some of there classes and they are very knowledgeable and help me with my understanding of firearms and firearms safety. read more

Wonderful teachers who teaching 16 hours CCW class. Highly recommend for those who want ccw training.

This is for the follow-on class, Eric Crawford instructor. Time well spent. Good review of known items and several new items were discussed. It was easy to follow and well organized. read more

Friendly and professional staff. Took the ccw class and learned alot. Looking forward to follow up training.

Just had my Level 1 Pistol training today with Steve & Dave. They were both extremely patient and frequently checked in with the groups if anyone had questions. I had multiple today and they were kind & courteous in their instructions -- they made sure that I understood everything. When I was trying techniques they were teaching, they even stood beside me to make sure I was doing it right and gave exemplary support. As much as I practiced before hand at home (with snap caps) and drilled as much firearm safety into my head before I tried out the course, I still found myself accidentally making small mistakes when doing it in real life. It was absolutely needed first hand experience to figure and realized what I was weak at, what my errors were, and how to fix it to further enhance safe usage of the firearm. read more

Safety was number 1! They took their time to explain and demonstrate what they wanted. Then they watched and gave tips and tricks to help us improve and hone in on our skills! read more

Great class for ccw. Knowledgeable instructor. Considering further courses for furthered education

I had the opportunity to take the CCW class with ASP and the experience was incredible. They begin by speaking about the basics of gun safety and handling. You can never have enough said about proper technique and etiquette when it comes to knowing your firearm. Steve and his range officers are extremely professional and well versed in the training aspect of safety and shooting when taking the class. You learn a lot as well with the lecture portion of this class with actual video footage and real-life scenarios that gives opportunity to engage in discussion with your fellow classmates. They keep you current with what is happening as it pertains to our rights as gun owners. If you are just starting out or are looking at CCW this class is for you. Kudos to ASP Firearms Training Staff! read more

Dave is a legit firearms trainer with years of experience! I was quite impressed with his background and ability to connect to all levels of students at the training course I took recently. I am a novice at guns and didn't know much about holding a gun, let alone the proper way of aiming and firing a gun. Super glad to have taken Dave's course and now I feel much more confident with a hand gun and basic techniques that will help me defend myself and the ones around me. Will be back for more! read more

6 STARS Completed my CCW firearm training with ASP and would highly recommend the team. read more

I signed up for the CCW class with ASP Firearms Training with Dave. After researching other CCW classes locally, ASP was my choice and I am very selective when choosing Firearms classes. The process with booking the class was incredibly fast. Dave reached out to me within the hour to talk about the class and book some time. The CCW class was very informative and being that I have taken many pistol and rifle classes before I always look at the background of the instructor. In this case Dave was very knowledgeable, experienced, passionate and easy going with no ego. We had great discussions and I would definitely recommend ASP Firearms Training / Dave for any level of shooter. I will be looking into there other classes as well. Great company, Great instructor, Great experience. read more

Great friendly service and an awesome location to practice shooting. Would recommend coming here again

I just completed my CCW field training class with ASP and was surprised at how much I learned about how to safely handle a firearm. There were several instructors there who were all quite knowledgeable and wanting to make sure you understood all of the safety rules. The instructors and their associates were all quite friendly. The training course was held at a location that did not have any seating facilities and I needed to sit down occasionally due to side affects from recent spinal surgery. I mentioned this to one of the instructors and to my surprise one of the instructors went to his car and brought me a folding chair to sit on when I needed to. I cannot thank him enough or the rest of the instructors who always seem to be there to help and make the class a great learning experience. Chet H. 10/9/2023 read more

I took the CA CCW class over two weekends. Training was solid and it was clear that they were invested in helping their students. They treated us like students instead of recruits, like other fire arm trainings I have been involved with. They also charge a fair price for services rendered. I highly recommend read more

Great pistol 2 class. Looking forward to taking more training classes. Loved the outdoor run with conceal cover.

Dave is a great host - knowledgeable about firearms, safety regulations, and how to use them. The way he teach is easy to understand and follow. He also lent his sunglasses, and ear protection. Hit him if you wanna learn how to shoot (advanced level shooting as well), and Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW). Highly recommended! read more
