My experience with Central Texas Gunworks was honestly shocking…read more My girlfriend and I ordered a firearm that was originally quoted to arrive in about 10 days. Instead, the order took over six weeks to arrive. Frustrating, but we were patient and waited. When the firearm arrived, my girlfriend went to pick it up. The store advertises closing at 6:00 PM, and she arrived after work at 5:55 PM. The gun was paid for so this was simply a pickup. When she arrived, the employees were already outside sitting in their cars getting ready to leave. She politely asked if they could go inside and complete the pickup since it was still before closing. Instead of helping her, the employees laughed at each other and joked about whether they were going to do it, then told her to "just come back tomorrow." She explained she had rushed there after work and arrived before closing. They claimed the credit card machine was broken, which was irrelevant because the firearm was already paid for. The worst part about this, the store owner Michael, sat and listened. and never lifted his head from his lap. Despite arriving before the posted closing time, and after waiting six weeks for an order that was supposed to take ten days, they refused to help her and continued dismissing her request. She was laughed at and treated with complete disrespect. This wasn't just inconvenient, it was unprofessional and humiliating customer service. If your business advertises that it closes at 6:00 PM, customers should be able to expect service until 6:00 PM, not be turned away at 5:55 by employees who have already decided they're done for the day. After a six-week delay, the least a business could do is treat a customer with basic respect. I hope this is addressed because no paying customer should be treated this way.

After years of shooting a wide variety of firearms, I recently attained my LTC and wanted to…read morereceive some formal pistol training to improve my skills and overall competence with with my everyday carry pistol. Overall, this was an amazing experience which has significantly challenged and enhanced my skills. I can't wait to practice what we learned again at the range, as well progress with additional courses they offer. This is no weekend warrior shit. These guys are seasoned professionals who can coach you if your smart enough to close your mouth, and open your ears. Here is more details... I found Texas tactical Training institute on YELP, and while they had no reviews, their information and photos intrigued me to make a call and have an initial discussion. I spoke with Tim over the phone for more than 20 minutes, explaining what I was looking for and what he could recommend. He explained he was a former police officer who was now focussed on offering firearm training experiences for people of all skill levels, at a price that didn't scare people away. Within minutes you could feel his passion coming through the phone, and i was eager to get something scheduled. I shared the idea with a friend and we signed up for a 4-hour 'Intro to movement - pistol' class for the upcoming weekend. We were excited at the idea of receiving some training to improve our skills, but unsure what two 'seasoned' gun owners would be able to learn in just 4 hours. A few days ahead of the training day, we received instructions by email of where to meet the course instructor, and what to bring with us. On the day itself, it was unusually cold...39 degrees in April cold. This elevated the training to a new level, as we were both not prepared or used to shooting in such cold climate. When our hands were not tucked deep into our pockets in a effort to once again feel our fingers, our hands were a little shaky when shooting (or at least that was my excuse on the day.. he he). We started with a short yet descriptive safety brief, and jumped straight into some dry-fire exercises of turning 90 degrees and firing on the 'threat'. That is the word Instructor Dustin used when telling us to engage the target... "Threat". At that moment you would turn the 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or start moving and shooting from various positions indicated by black circles of spray paint in the dirt that had just been created by Dustin and his his fellow Instructor Brian. Over the course of 4 hours we were introduced to various shooting exercises involving moving and shooting. My favorite phrase of the day (aside from "threat", which meant you were being told to engage the target), was "Push, Plant, Pull", which described your movements from one position to another. The push and planting refers to your feet, and the pull... well you can guess what that is for. We continued learning and practicing through the bitter 39 degree weather, breaking only for a few minutes here and there to return to the truck in an attempt to warm up and feel our fingers again. Dustin was an exceptional coach. He would watch you follow his instructions and offer specific minor changes to your body position, feet position, pistol grip, the elevation of my hands in relation to my eyes, and other small tweaks. All of which felt a little uncomfortable at first, kind of like I was shooting for the first time. However, this was a strong introduction to a new understanding that all my previous experience shooting was from a static position with no accountability of each round pushed through a paper target. I strongly recommend this training to firearm owners of all ages and skill levels. I also strongly recommend the 'intro to movement - pistol' course to anyone with a LTC, or someone looking to improve their skills.

Was in Austin for a business trip coming from California. Wanted to shoot some guns so went ahead…read moreand booked the "Test Flight" package to try out some handguns, which was priced super well for what it included (coming from California pricing). When walking in, everyone was super helpful in getting me checked in and ready. I can't say enough good things about my instructor Jacob. He was incredibly helpful and patient when helping me choose what 3 guns I wanted to shoot. He took his time to show me different ones and when I decided what to go with, he gave me a super helpful safety briefing before going out to the lane. At the lane, Jacob helped every step of the way with any questions and helped me understand what to do and how to do it correctly without a hitch. He also made great conversation and was awesome to talk to and learn from. The whole experience was super cool and I wanna thank Jacob for making that happen!

My son son joined as a member. He told me he had free gun rentals and unlimited range time. As a…read moreresult, we bought $350 in ammo for two rental guns we do not own for this one session as I live elsewhere. issues- Lots of unmet expectations and a huge lack of customer service. - NO free gun rentals - NO unlimited range time. My range where I am a member treat their members far better with unlimited range time even on weekends. This range wanted us out after 1 hour despite being a member and all the ammo we bought from them. - the rental gun did not cycle very well. It kept jamming. All they told us is they would fix it before re-renting it. Wasted lots of our time fixing uncycled rounds in a bad rental gun. NO FUN! - appealed to manager. He was far more interested in telling us we were wrong and explaining what their policies were with NO concern for us. NO grace on range time. NO refunds on ammo. We sure felt abused. - tried to appeal to owner. The manager said he would not help us as he does not work weekends. No help. None. They happily took our money with NO concern for customer service at any time. BUYER BEWARE!!

They gave us a private class on threat assessment, surveillance, counter surveillance measures and a few other things we had questions about. They offer IR sweeps, FLIR sweeps and night vision sweeps of the area surrounding your house and neighborhood to find hidden/game cameras. Once the initial clearing is done, They also offer weekly maintenance sweeps for clients' peace of mind. A whole neighborhood takes them less than 10 minutes, so it's not expensive. There's a ton of other stuff they offer that I won't go into, but if you have questions, call them. They are experts on everything security/investigation related.
