I recently took a training and qualification course with Firearms Academy and had a great experience overall. The instructor was solid, knowledgeable, patient, and did a really good job breaking everything down without overcomplicating it. The class itself was well run, and I felt like I actually learned something useful rather than just checking a box. They also sell guns, accessories, ammo and offer additional classes and trainings, plus they provide FFL services. I'd definitely recommend them! -Michael read more

I drove over an hour for a class. Business opens at 9 but class starts at 7? They dont use common sense for their business. Fix your store hours. My vehicle blew driving that whole way. They cost me $30k vehicle now. I hope this place goes bankrupt for what they cost me today. read more

I went in to get a background check for a job . The service was fast and courteous . I will continue to do my background checks here . read more

I went here to get my background check done here multiple times. This is now my go-to spot for it and perhaps consider learning how to shoot a gun. The staff are wonderful people. They do offer military discount, so that's another plus! I highly recommend this place for their services! read more

By far the best experience I've had with gun shops. The owner was very friendly, didn't treat me like some kind of idiot, and answered my questions honestly. He also talked me out of spending money I didn't need to! WHO DOES THAT! I've found a new gun shop! read more

I'm giving Firearms Academy five stars just for Alex giving me information that five other firearm schools did not have the time to give me. I intend to go to their class when available. read more

An excellent destination for your security licensing and training requirements. The team, including Alex, is outstanding. Despite residing 45 miles away, I have no hesitation in traveling to Alex for all my training needs. Alex possesses extensive knowledge and experience, providing exceptional customer service and always being ready to assist. read more

It would be cool if they were actually open when they say they are. Arrived at 4PM, no one around despite calling ahead of time saying they close at 530PM. Not good for business when people drive out of their way to come spend their money. read more

I just completed a course for my employer. I'm so thankful that I was able to gain so much new knowledge and wisdom. Alex is a wonderful mentor and I'm so thankful. Alex knows exactly how to teach and what to teach; to a whole class with a wide variety of skill sets, and he makes it very comfortable and most importantly, fun. You sharpened my sword, and I now feel really comfortable handling a firearm with safety and precision. Thank you again, God bless you Alex and your team. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this LGS! Nice, personable, and informative owner and staff. If you every need ammo, accessories, training, etc., don't hesitate to come into Alex's store. We moved counties, however, we'll be visiting whenever we're in the area. read more

Very pleasant to work with. Wished the training classes would be acceptable for getting a ccw. But highly recommended

Love this place went in Monday morning just before they opened greeted by Alex great gentleman help me do a live scan got me in and out, definitely a customer for life read more

Firearms Training Academy is absolutely amazing. I came here as part of a training assignment with work. Marty the owner is an incredible man who is hilarious, witty, smart, and incredibly knowledgeable. He is a retired police sergeant and the walls of the academy are filled with shooting medals and honors and various other honors that he has won from the department. His wit and knowledge has also rubbed off on his sons who also work there. In the 2 days of training I have had here so far I have felt respected (even when I had trouble doing simple things like loading a magazine). No question that I have asked has been "too stupid" and I have always been answered with an answer that makes perfect sense to me. There is a great sense of professionalism here yet the guys love to crack jokes and share humorous stores with the class. I feel like this helps relax the atmosphere and it is good to learn what to do (or not to do) by thinking of real world scenarios. As part of our class we were also able to shoot which was a fantastic experience. Anyone who had questions during shooting was helped out immediately by Alex. Firearms Training Academy offers a variety of classes such as guard card training, baton training, firearms training, Livescan, etc. Trust me, it's a great place! Happy to add them to Yelp! read more

Everything seems to be on par with what Zoie mentionioned. People working here seem nice and patient. I tested that today when my 3 year old was throwing a tantrum. Luckily they didn't kick me or my hubby out to the curb. Lol. They offer a wide range of courses and they have badges, pepper sprays, uniforms, batons, and other items for sale. Pretty cool if you ask me. read more

See all

So I was referred by Alex's brother Sean. Alex was very professional, knowledgeable, respectful and has a great sense of humor. As in law enforcement, I recommend Alex to anyone and everyone who is interested in owning a firearm. As for Sean, he is a straight shooter!His firearm passion, knowledge and experience is very welcoming and I am thankful he referred me to his brother. Thank you Alex & Sean read more

Appreciated Ed's thorough training and patience. I definitely will be booking additional training courses.

No long wait times, great customer service, great prices! I live 1 hour away but I'll be returning soon! Alex the owner is fantastic!

Good Place To Go For Security Guard Training. Has All The Training For Security Work Here

Went to buy ammo yesterday, had a problem with background and address mistake, not their fault. I would definitely recommend this place based on price and customer service, friendly and very helpful. read more

Good training, helps with paperwork, and offers additional services. I am definitely coming back for more training.

Very Professional, and well run. The staff at Firearms Academy were very helpful in finding me the best gun for me, as far as fit, and matched my ability to the best gun of choice. They found a really good gun that seemed unavailable to others, within a few days. The business is run extremely well, and the staff is very courteous. They follow all the Covid-19 protocols well and the place in squeeky clean. Masks, and clean countertops and display cases too. I own a few guns and would highly recommend them Alex, if you want to get the best gun for you, or just need really good training for preparation before you even purchase a home defense weapon. Very Patriotic, and very respectable company. I highly recommend them They're already helping me find the next gun for my girlfriend, who is going to take their gun safety classes, so she isn't so intimidated about handling a hand gun.
