BAT consistently does a great job finding experienced, professional instructors who really know what they're doing. The BAT team is also a great group of guys who run a solid program. I've had a great experience every time I've trained with them and will definitely be taking more courses with BAT in the future.

As a recent gun owner, it was time for me to take the time to learn how to use my instrument. So,…read moremy hubby, daughter and I decided to take Kevin's course in collaboration with Prof Jeff Macalolooy of Dragons Den MMA. They taught us how to disarm weapons and handle firearms. It is a 6-hour course which I thought was going to be waaaay too long, but it went by at a nice clip. It included 3 hours in the classroom where Kevin discussed, in an engaging and often hilarious manner, "firearm history, laws, safety and proper handling." Jeff then led us through hand-to-hand combat and how to disarm an attacker. I appreciated this as a woman, as every woman should have a rudimentary idea of how to protect herself. We then spent three hours on the range. As someone who has never really handled a handgun before, it was intimidating to fire so many rounds but to also be around people who were more familiar with a gun than I was. To Kevin and Jeff's credit, they taught us in a manner that both beginners and more seasoned shooters could understand. As a beginner, I needed extra support. Thankfully, having two instructors made all the difference: one (Kevin) could keep the main group moving at a steady pace, while the other (Jeff) could devote more time to reinforcing weak spots and helping a newbie like me work through any lingering hesitation. Jeff really helped me in this area. There was a point where I felt like giving up (partly because I couldn't draw my gun fast enough with the new holster that I bought), so Jeff switched mine out and provided me with a holster that solved that problem. Indeed, any issue I might have had was addressed and resolved. I am now looking forward to the women's only training course they will offer in August, as I believe that will allow me to feel less intimidated and will continue to bolster my confidence in weapon disarms and firearm handling. Two thumbs up for the course and the instructors!

I have been considering taking firearm courses and purchasing a gun for some time now. I finally…read moredid some research on courses in my area and decided to reach out to Kevin. I explained I had never shot a gun before but was interested in learning, safely. Kevin was amazing! He made my first time handling a gun and shooting informative and enjoyable. He was very thorough and patient with me, putting me at ease. After the course he sent me follow-up information I had asked about. I highly recommend Kevin, especially if you're a beginner in handling a gun.

I have to say that the class was very professionally given, and information and training was excellent, especially in light of the quality of the personnel taking the class. Even though prior military combat veterans and active and retired law enforcement personnel were present, including several civilians, both men and women, Jordan conducted the class so as to provide a learning opportunity for every individual in the class. Regardless of your knowledge, skills or attitude, you will learn something from this class. I highly recommend Jordan and Krieger Defense Firearms Training for all of your questions or training. Nice job, Jordan and Adrian.......... I will be returning for future training.

Manzano Munitions is more than a gun store. I genuinely see them as community builders first, with…read morea great gun store as a bonus. Kyle and the guys there aren't your typical pushy, salesy people. They're genuine gun guys who actually shoot and live the lifestyle. They'll give you options, share their honest opinions and experience, and then let YOU decide what's best for you. No pressure, no BS. I've personally bought 3 high-end 2011s from them and thousands of rounds of ammo, and every transaction has been smooth from start to finish. The shop itself is also one of the most welcoming and cozy gun shops I've been to. But what really sets Manzano apart is what they've done for the shooting community. They host and organize members matches where you can get stage experience, sharpen your skills, and eventually take what you've learned into a real USPSA match--which they also run out of Coyote Valley Sporting Clays. That's what I mean when I say community builders. They're not just selling guns--they're helping build a stronger shooting community. NorCal and especially the South Bay shooting community is a better place because of what these guys have built. I'm genuinely grateful to be part of it. May God continue to bless Manzano Munitions, the people behind it, and the community they've built. Shoutout to all the guys over there--Johnny, Mike, the two Alex's, Chris, and Jake. A+ customer service, every time. You guys are the real deal.

The staff behind the counter are incredibly knowledgeable and more importantly, they're actual shooters with real experience. You can tell right away these guys live the lifestyle and know their gear inside and out, not just random internet keyboard warriors pretending to know what they're talking about. They take the time to answer questions, give honest advice, and make sure you leave confident in your purchase. No pressure, no ego, just solid people who care about their customers and the shooting community. Rare to find a shop with this level of professionalism and authenticity these days. Easily one of the best FFL experiences I've had. Highly recommend supporting this place. I've been coming back since they opened and the service has stayed consistent

I attended their CCW Modification class. Talk about a disorganized bunch! I was told to get there…read moreat 9:45AM. After finally finding someone to sign me in, all he said is wait for them to call your name. No going over safety rules, where to put your things or your what to expect. If something is unclear, you basically need to find someone in charge and ask one of them. Amongst the firing line was a bearded little person with a Nepolion complex and a megaphone berating the shooters about every "mistake" he felt they are making. A guy a few spots to my left raised his hand to ask a question and he yelled at him for turning his head towards him, saying it was an incredibly dangerous gesture. The guy's hand was up in the air, clearly without a firearm in it and that was dangerous? Another guy to my right put his empty magazine in his pocket and he got yelled at too. I heard him saying he would be murdered in real life if he did that and that he needed to drop his magazine on the ground. One of the other range officers had to come him down. I'm not sure if any range safety brief was gone over earlier in the day, but no one who got there at 9:45AM heard anything. Some people were even asking me where to put their guns and equipment. Not sure if the little person with the beard even comprihends that these are his clients that paid him money for a service, because he was acting to me like someone who felt he was doing them some kind of favor. Even at the end of it all we didn't know if we had to stay or if we could go home. They said my safety certificate would get to me by Tuesday. That was late by a few days too and when I followed up, I got no response. If you're looking for terrible customers service, you found it!
