The instructors are not only highly experienced, but they also take the time to make sure every student feels confident, safe, and supported, and the training will increase skill level. What stood out most was their focus on safety and real-world preparedness. The instruction is clear, hands-on, and practical, and they explain each technique and firearm protocol in a way that's easy to understand. I left feeling more capable and informed after attending his training. The entire team is knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about empowering their students. I was a shooter or looking to sharpen and advanced my skills, this is exactly the kind of training I wanted! Highly recommend Defense Tactics and Firearms, excellent training, excellent environment, excellent people.

Immediately we were greeted by Milo who was very welcoming, friendly and gave us fantastic service. Milo did our PPT in a breeze. Although Milo's shop was smaller he had quality firearms, ammo, Glock bags, and other gear. This shop also had the same North American Rescue compact medic kit that the shootist carried and I happily bought it here instead. I appreciate that Milo doesn't discriminate against those who can't wear masks. When I got home Milo messaged me back from a prior question I had on yelp to him and he apologized that he got busy and couldn't reply sooner. No apology needed Milo because you took great care of us and other customers in there with better/faster/kinder service than Turners or Shootist!

His teaching style was engaging, never boring, and full of funny jokes that kept the class interested and involved the entire time. He made the environment feel comfortable while still taking the material seriously. What really stood out was how thorough the class was when it came to safety tips and firearm laws. Malcolm did an excellent job explaining everything clearly and carefully, making sure we understood not just how to handle a firearm, but how to do so safely and responsibly. The attention given to safety techniques and legal guidelines made me feel much more informed and confident. Malcolm also asked hypothetical questions that made you think....I liked that part. It had been a long time since I had shot a gun, and I'm much more used to shooting rifles than pistols. Malcolm personally took the time to help me with pistol handling tips that improved both my safety techniques and my accuracy. He was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind throughout the process. He never made me feel embarrassed or judged, and that meant a lot to me as someone getting comfortable with pistols again. I highly recommend McClaren Defense, and Malcolm especially. He is a fantastic instructor, and honestly, his father should give him a raise so he can finally get the Sig Sauer on his wishlist ;)

Parking is limited, arriving early is best. A few porta potties are available by the office.

While the location is a drive through windy roads and limited cell service to get to training location in Hemet, it was worth the time to learn a skill rather than the previous experiences we had with our spouses just shooting. When my best friend told me she had seen ads on Facebook promoting a woman-owned gun store, I immediately adjusted our plans and contacted the owner, Brandi, who accommodated us with a private lesson on a day not listed on the online schedule. Brandi was super responsive and paying the invoice sent to my email was seamless. After the lesson was over, we couldn't stop talking in the car drive back about how relaxed and more confident we felt with a pistol. The proper technique behind breathing was a game changer, as well as practicing the difference between the wall and trigger. We felt we weren't rushed or in competition with one another and the time given to us to demonstrate understanding before moving onto the next task was so valuable since we were beginners. The prices for different types of lessons, including try before you buy, are very reasonable. And another great part about the whole experience is that Brandi herself is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and overall approachable. Check out her YouTube and IG videos, the website is easy to navigate as well.

A++++ Review I can't…read moresay enough about my experience with Brandi and Fortune Firearms. Hands down the BEST firearms training I've ever had! From start to finish, the professionalism, safety, and expertise were unmatched. Brietta Brandi has an incredible ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps, making it comfortable for beginners while still challenging experienced shooters to improve. Their focus on safety is second to none, and they maintain a calm, encouraging environment that builds both skill and confidence. The range itself is well-organized and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Staff members are knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every detail--from check-in to the final shots--was handled with care and efficiency. I left feeling more skilled, more confident, and truly respected as a student. If you want a top-tier training experience with someone who genuinely cares about your success, look no further than Brandi at Fortune Firearms. Absolutely A++++ and HIGHLY recommended! One of the things that makes Brandi even more remarkable is that she is a Black female firearms instructor--something you rarely see in this industry. She's not only breaking barriers, but setting the bar incredibly high for professionalism, expertise, and mentorship. Her presence in this space is inspiring, and she's a powerful example for anyone who believes representation matters. She proves that skill, knowledge, and leadership know no bounds.

Mike was on it, he was patient, a little funny but professional at the same time. He made sure everyone was understanding the process. I can't wait to take another class with PPA because I had a great time and a I learned a lot. Mike you're a genius!

Loved working with Erin, Mike, and Zack!…read more Erin's Basic Firearms Class was exceptional! She's very thorough, realistic, and straightforward with her training. I noticed she is repetitive to allow us to build muscle memory when she observes a bit of a struggle when there is a lot to remember! And she is great at it and for our own good. She is very knowledgeable about her firearms and she allowed us to get familiar with each of them. Mike, Zack, and Erin's Initial CCW course was 2-days on the range and in the class. We had a mix of renewals, initials, and edits (adding or amending firearms) and a large class amongst the three instructors was impressive! They worked in sync moving large groups in waves and in order of their respective courses. Safety was always first and foremost, range logistics and emergency action plan was discussed and designated/shared roles amongst the class. Mandatory ears and eye protection are a must when the range opens at 0900 sharp! No exceptions. Mike and Zack covered a lot of classroom instruction and are very knowledgeable about gun laws and state policies. They talked a lot about de-escalating situations and disengaging with bad company ALWAYS! The goal is always to get home safe to your family. Zack said it best, something to the sort of "I hope that I die past 80 years of age and never having to defend myself in a gun fight" I highly recommend Personal Protection Academy for all your self defense training and firearms training needs! I would definitely enroll in other classes !
