So far taken Basics Hand Guns course and 16 Hr CCW class with FAST OC so far and let me tell you... 1) it's whole alotta FUN. being a first time firearms owner I was nervous at first but training with FAST made me feel more comfortable about safe handling a gun and building the proper techniques. 2) the classes are long and there's lots of informations that get covered but Lance makes the experience more enjoyable by making the class more of a discussion, where people can participate and ask questions 3) CCW classes were kept small in size (8 people only) so each person got 1v1 instructions on how to improve on the range. 4) Lance is a funny guy, Kylie & Ray is really cool too. I'm already signed up for my next intermediate class and can't come soon enough!

This was for my moms birthday gift. She is in her late 60s, has always been afraid of guns, and hated when I purchased mine. We got this beginner class for a late birthday gift. She thought she was going to hate it, but she ended up loving it! Lance is such a good instructor and he knows his stuff so well! Even as a gun owner myself, he taught me way more than anyone else. I have taken THREE OTHER COURSES from other people who swore they were the best. Lance was the only want they got me to hit bullseye. I don't want to give away any tips he does, but the beginner course was amazing! Also, Kylie was so great in helping my mom! Now my mom wants a gun! Thank you so much Lance and Kylie! I'm going to take Lances more advanced class. Also, I want to take Lances class to get my CCW! Hands down worth the money!

I took the basic handgun course here today. I went in not knowing much of anything about guns. I left this course sure of myself I know I need a lot more practice but Lance and his wife really put in the work to make sure you are confident and safe. I cannot stress how safe I felt and how patient they both are. I am looking forward to practicing the skills I learned today and returning for the intermediate course. It was worth every penny.

Learning the gun, how to hold it, load it and unload it.

We signed up with FAST OC for their basic hans gun course. I didn't really know what would be covered but was pleasantly surprised by the information that Lance and Kylie provided. Lance is very knowledgeable and encouraged our questions and class participation. At the beginning of the class I was worried that I would never get it. By the end I able to hit some of the bulls eyes on the targets. Would definitely recommend FAST OC and his staff for any course. Thank you Lance!

I'm honestly smiling as I write this review... Lance was an amazing instructor, he was thorough, engaging, well spoken and extremely knowledgeable. Going into the Basic Handgun Course, I've never SEEN OR TOUCHED A GUN. I was unsure what to expect and I was naturally nervous, would I be able to learn and pick up all this information? The class felt tailored to me and also others at different experience levels all in one! Well done Fast OC! I felt so safe at the gun range and really appreciated the one on one time he gave to each of us! I'll be back for my CCW class!!! Highly recommend.

Hands on time at the range. Guided and solo practice - plenty of ammo at thus course!

See all

How many lanes do you have?

Thank you for your question Greg. We aren't a shooting range, just a training facility. The closest range to our facility is Evan's Gun World (https://evansgunworld.com/). They have 8 public lanes, and 6 private lanes on the tactical / members side.… Read more

How much does it cost for the basis handgun class? I can't find the price on the website.

The basic handgun course is $125, and this includes the course materials, range fees, use of the firearms and ammunition.

::::This is a second review from me, regarding a separate business function than my previous…read morereview:::: Artifex effectively does guns. They effectively teach guns + drills. They also effectively do guns + personal protection methods. But: DID. YOU. KNOW. They have such a deep and rich knowledge base that there is basically no situation that deals with personal- or self-defense they cannot handle. I'll explain. I reached out to Ben for an 'at-home, security picture review'. Ben forwarded my request over to BigTony. I met with BigTony over the weekend. The task was to develop my own personal self-defense plan for my home, and close any massive gaps that I may not be aware of. Tony was willing to meet, on my schedule, and even worked effectively with a last minute location change. No flaws, no frustration, no worries - just BigTony being BigTony. We have a new house; with a new neighborhood, and unfamiliar neighbors, routes, and routines. My deepest held concerns were the recent uptick in OC county crime, the warning signs, and developing new habits and patterns with my new home. Tony had it covered: Physical security. Advanced warning signs. Training to complete in the meantime, while enacting other preventative measures. People to call for updated OSINT. Home defense ballistics. Right down to gun safes, learning 'battle rhythm' before, during and after a home invasion across multiple scenarios, and with his help, I was able to view the impacts of my decisions through the eyes of the very adversary I am preparing against, as well as the from the first responders perspective, that eventually will arrive to close the scene. His thoughtful review, theoretical approaches to posturing (ex: 'grey-man' vs 'gun-guy'), etc... I could not think of any more approaches or variables I could throw at him. Once it was all said and done, we agreed to a post-implementation tag-up, to see the progress made, and/or take in any specifics that may have been overlooked. All on his own time. Bottom Line: it was incredibly relieving to have the TTPs I had already put in place verified, my concerns validated and decision and actions taken confirmed as 'adequate' for my surroundings/situation/circumstances. From the top to the bottom of my personal security stance, Tony answered literally every question I had. Not one gun was fired. No targets pasted. An incredible 'thinking man's approach' to surviving and thriving when the adrenaline is rushing, and seconds feel like hours. This meeting changed the game. I cannot recommend going through a thought-exercise like this enough. Rounds down range would never have gotten me the answers I received from this incredible team. Thank you BigTony. I am a proud monthly-dues member. If you are not yet, You are sorely missing out on providing the 'whole of security' approach to your family, neighborhood, and community. They are multi-faceted, well-rounded, highly experienced, seasoned professionals whose guidance you will have wanted in your kit-bag well before your "sunshine and rainbows: day turns to "hell-in-a-handcart" in a flash. Tony, Ben, and crew: THANK YOU!!

I have taken his Basic Pistol Instructor's Course, Refuse to Be A Victim Instructor's Course, Personal Protection Inside the Home Student and Instructor Courses, and his Personal Protection Outside The Home Student Course. After taking each course, it became evident TJ cares about his students. He makes every effort to ensure his students are prepared for real world scenarios and does not provide a passing rubber stamp simply because you paid for his class. Every certificate he issues is earned, not given. As a retired LEO, I was surprised to be put through new drills. He pushed me to become a better marksman. I am eager to take future classes from TJ, and I am so glad I stumbled across him. If you are seeking firearms training, TJ is the man.

TJ is a wealth of knowledge and helped developed this course for the NRA, so we are getting training from the source. The most valuable part of this class was everything was taught from concealment and TJ made sure to give us the tools to teach these skills safely so our students can win a fight. The one surprising skill was learning how to teach concealment from a purse. This was eye opening. If you want the best use ALLSAFE.

The level of…read morecustomer service, communication and overall quality that you find here is honestly very elusive in this industry. Dave, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to actually help you without any pressure or attitude. If you've ever been to other firearm stores, you probably know what I mean. Many places can come off like they have a superiority complex, like you're supposed to already know everything. That's not the case here at all. At ShootSoCal, you can ask any question and they'll walk you through it without making you feel uncomfortable. That alone goes a long way and keeps me coming back. I've purchased items from them, had builds done and even had custom work completed and every single time the result has been the same: top-tier service and excellent results. They're consistent, professional, and genuinely care about their customers. I recommend them to everyone I know. If you're looking for a place that treats you right and delivers quality work, this is it.

Small shop, but good selection of equipment, from AR parts to carry bags, oil/maintenance kits etc. Also, staff gave me some practical advice about anodizing the steel barrel I had purchased (for getting a different color on it), getting a gun locker and outdoor ranges within a 45 minute drive. Lastly, I was offered assistance to assemble my firearm, but didn't need it since I'd been studying how to do that while waiting to take delivery. Bottomline: I'd use ShootSoCal as an FFL again.

The first day I came I brought a friend (you will need to bring someone if you do not own a firearm). And everything was great but what my friend pointed out is that the first person who helped us with the rentals wasn't really helpful and was kind of a smartass. I didn't really think anything of it but when we came back to exchange our rental firearms for the next round we got a different guy (Nathan). And this is where it made me notice the difference. He walked us thru which guns we should look at and really talked to us like he cared. To the point where when we left my friend even said something like 'damn that second guy was really helpful' Second time I came back with my brand new firearm to try it out. After checking in, I was about to walk into the bay, but saw the guy that helped us (Nathan) at the rental so I just asked real quick if I was okay to shoot my firearm as is out of the box. He stopped me and suggested I oil it first. He gave me a brief rundown of how to field strip my firearm and the points to oil. Along with some other newbie/safety things to know. Honestly if it weren't for this guy I may have hurt myself or something lol. Also he gave me a lot of tips that were a big help. I would say this guy cares about the customers and is extremely knowledgeable. The place is great and especially if its your first time shooting and are in the area check this place out.

Tap Rack Bang Training

Review for Tap Rack Bang Rating: 5/5 Stars…read more If you are looking for CCW training that goes beyond just "checking a box," Tap Rack Bang is the gold standard. I recently completed my first class with them, and to say the bar has been set high for any future training would be an understatement. The Coaching The instruction from Ernie and Josh is truly superior. They strike the perfect balance between being encouraging and providing the kind of necessary, corrective criticism you need when handling a firearm. They don't just watch you shoot; they coach you through every movement. Their ability to spot a mechanical flaw and help you fix it in real-time is impressive. Professionalism & Environment CEO Ernie has built an incredible team. From start to finish, the entire staff was professional, helpful, and clearly dedicated to the craft. As a first-time student, I felt welcomed but also respected as a serious trainee. The Standard This class is designed to prepare you for the real world. They ask you to push yourself for perfection, which is exactly the mindset demanded by CCW criteria. They don't settle for "good enough," and they make sure you don't either. Final Verdict I strongly recommend this class to everyone, from absolute beginners to experienced shooters. You will leave more confident, more capable, and with a much deeper understanding of what it means to carry responsibly. Also, shop at costco.

I went into class thinking we would just be taught law and how not to get in trouble being a ccw holder. That was not the case as i have mentioned before i frequent the range and after my ccw course with Ernie, Josh, Tyron(sorry if i misspelled that), and Dustin i walked out with not just knowledge on law but technique when it comes to drawing, concealing, proper holster fitment, stance, and some drills to practice. If you are pursuing your ccw you will pay about the same amount of money to get a "PASS" type class behind a screen why not get your moneys worth and actually learn something. Thanks TRB i will be back I'm beyond thankful for everything you guys have taught me.
