    They have MPA DS9s in stock!

    BNR Tactical has become my new go-to shop on Oahu. I was interested in purchasing a double stack 1911 and BNR has a wide selection in stock. BNR let me touch and check out all of the expensive pistols so that I could draw my own conclusions about what I wanted. Ron went above and beyond and let me hold some of his personally owned pistols. Being able to physically hold and inspect the different pistols really helped me narrow down my decision. They carry Atlas, MasterPiece Arms, Taran Tactical, Race City, Watchtower, Staccato (+Vulcan Machine Werks), Alpha Foxtrot, Stealth Arms, Fusion Firearms, and more. If you treat their shop, inventory, and staff with respect, you will be shown respect. I also appreciate that they did not pressure me to buy anything. Prices are fair, generally the manufacturer's MSRP. None of the crazy dealer upcharges some of the other shops do. Staff is professional and knowledgeable.

    Brent and Ron are awesome teachers in gun safety and defense. I registered for 2 classes, and I had a great time with them at the range. Tip: bring sun screen and large hydroflask for water when heading to the range. Also, invest in quality ear protection.

    Took both basic firearms and marksmanship & Hawaii CCW permit and left there with confidence knowing the training education and knowledge to become a responsible gun owner i recieved couldn't come from a better place! Hands down the most proficient,reliable,trustworthy,honest shop i have been to. They don't beat around the bush and try to sell you everything you think you wanted like other shops i've been to which say literally yes to everything because you are only money to them and nothing more. B&R Tactical will treat you with the utmost respect and professional service & you will not be disappointed.

There were 2 parts to the Basic Pistol Safety Course. There was classroom time and range time. David and Joey was very thorough with the information that they taught during the classroom time. They did so good that it made everyone feel confident that they can pass the test at the end of the classroom time and everyone did pass! David and Joey was also very good instructors during the range time. We were able to shoot at different distances. During the shooting, we were able to pick and choose which pistol we want to shoot. I was very pleased that they had a Glock 19 because that is the pistol that I'm looking to get in the future and was glad that I was able to get a feel for it. Overall, I would definitely recommend them if you're looking to get into firearms! I'm for sure taking my daughter to them in the future when she gets a little older!

This establishment typically has customers that bring their own firearm so then there is a lane fee of $25. Also on their website, they offer a discount on the lane fee if you go a certain day, certain time, and show your Hawaii ID. Well we went there meeting all three criteria but didn't get the discount as advertised. Kinda sucked but oh well. After we signed the required forms, the guy had us pick out the target sheets we wanted. Then we were required to watch a safety video, which we couldn't hear loud and clear because of people talking around us. The employee then told us about the two door entry way to the lanes and being mindful not to let the noise get into the showroom. We picked a lane and laid our rifle bag on the bench. Strangely, the bench started rolling forward into the lane which didn't seem safe so we moved to another lane. We got our firearms situated on the bench that didn't roll and then tried to hang our target sheet but it was missing a clip and the cardboard was very worn, so we moved to another lane. There were empty shells all over the floor, maybe we were expected to sweep up after others but no one said anything. We shot up all the ammunition we purchased and then we were so ready to leave, disappointed. Of all the discrepancies, the main reason for this 1 star review was an intentional hazard caused by a young employee with arrogance. From the moment we walked into the showroom, he did not want to serve us. Since the only other employee was already with a customer, this young guy reluctantly came to our lane when I asked him nicely to show us loading our new shotgun. After he loaded the shotgun, he left the range. It wouldn't shoot so I went back to the showroom to look for him. As if he KNEW that something bad would happen, the young guy was NOWHERE to be found. So I waited patiently for the only other employee to finish his customer. Guess what, the shotgun shell was jammed! The older employee needed to retrieve a tool from the showroom to safely dislodge it! God forbid an explosion happened. To the young guy who loaded the shotgun incorrectly and intentionally caused risk of harm, I pray for you. Whatever causes your arrogance and ill intent, may God release you from all that and forgive you. This is not the kind of business that needs bad employees. We do not want anything like this dangerous episode to happen to anyone. We did not enjoy this experience. There was a serious lack of personnel and communication. We were put in an unsafe situation.

I must say that I'm glad we did, and these guys are great! We just finished the basic handgun safety course, and it was excellent! They covered all the basics of loading and operating firearms, safety, and laws. The classroom time is very informative, and the range time is great. We got to practice with a bunch of different firearms ranging from .22 to .45, and a bunch in between. The NRA certified instructors are very friendly, helpful, and know their stuff, You can tell that they love and believe in what they're doing. HDF is also working to help maintain and improve ownership and usage rights in Hawaii, and as an organization they have range days where the whole group will gather and enjoy some private range time. With completion of the course you're not only given your affidavit certifying completion of the course, but you become an HDF member for the year. I'm looking forward to taking full advantage of this membership, and see what else HDF has to offer!

I saw a staff member (older heavier set guy) yell at some kids before they even started shooting (one kid had just picked up a gun and hadn't even inserted a magazine) and threaten to kick him off the range. Kid was clearly a beginner but he wasn't doing anything wrong and giving him a negative experience isn't going to get him interested in shooting for the rest of his life. That staff member clearly didn't want to be there which kinda begs the question why even show up (I think they're volunteers and not paid). If you don't enjoy what you do, I'm sure you can find better things to do on a weekend. But overall the experience is fine. You just have to watch for the staff members who like to lord power over people and ignore their attempts to try and embarrass people.

I took the adult driving program with instructor Lenard Wong. While he might be a good driver himself, he is not a good instructor for beginners. I would only recommend him to people who already know how to drive and just need a refresher. For first-time and nervous drivers like me, I highly discourage choosing him. Every time I made a mistake, he would scold, yell, or sigh. This made me incredibly anxious and unable to focus. To make matters worse, he barely explained the rules or how to use the car's mirrors, mechanisms, and other essential functions, nor did he give detailed tips on how to drive well. By the second lesson, he made me drive on the main streets without proper, detailed preparation. Yes I made a lot of mistakes but everyone makes mistake and has different pace. I am trying to learn and that is what I am paying for but with him I am barely learning to drive. If you have zero driving experience, I strongly advise looking for a different driving school or instructor who is patient and thorough.
