Just completed the class today and it was a great experience. I was dreading this class since lets…read morebe real it's going to be dry and boring for the most part. But the class is very informative and Lance made the class so easy and enjoyable. Lance went over the important parts of the course and focuses on what we should do in situations and broke things down. IF you pay attention to the class you will pass the written exam it is not rocket science and the way Lance puts the information you will learn the right thing to do. So just pay attention to the course. The classroom was only 4 hours with breaks and he provides you water and sodas. Again very very enjoyable time for this class when I was walking in dreading the course. The class does start promptly at 8am so make sure you are on time! Lance then takes us down to the range a bit away from the class and we get ready to shoot, it is an outdoor range so bring sunglasses if you can because it was a bright sunny day. We got loaded up and he instructed us on how many rounds we will fire and how quickly to fire them. AT 3 yards I used my M&P Shield and it was no problem, we fired 20 rounds total at 3 then moved to 7 yards. Again another 20 rounds not too bad with the shield with a shorter barrel. Then we moved to 15 yards and fired 10 rounds I hit the target and mostly in the 7 range at 15 yards. Again all this is happening with Lance giving us instruction on how many rounds to fire and how quickly to fire. Great class very enjoyable if you are going to take a LTC course take it here with Lance you won't be disappointed. Tip for the range bring a full size pistol with a longer barrel just helps with accuracy, doesn't necessarily have to be the gun you are going to be carrying that you are going to test with.

Excellent instruction and a genuinely valuable training experience…read more What stood out most was the instructor's deep understanding of movement, structure, and the "why" behind performance not just running drills. The session gave me a clear picture of where my strengths are and what I need to refine next. We worked through transitions, pacing, and confirmation levels in a way that pushed both speed and accountability, and the coaching was thoughtful without being overwhelming. I especially appreciated how adaptable the training was. I brought several different platforms and ran iron sights intentionally, and the instructor met me exactly where I was focusing on fundamentals, body mechanics, and efficiency instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. If you want someone who blends technical knowledge with practical application and creates a professional, positive environment, I highly recommend training here with Grant. Great communication, great energy on the range, and I walked away with clear, actionable homework to keep improving.

I cannot say enough positive things about Jorge, his facility, and the training I got from him. I…read moream in a wheelchair, and Jorge went WAY out of his way to make me feel comfortable, and to explain the differences in terms of legal responsibilities between a "normal" person (does such even exist??) and someone with mobility issues. He included some suggestions for defense that I had not even considered, believing (mistakenly) that they were illegal. He provided me with resources for materials and services which complemented the training, and made sure I understood how and when to use them. He was patient and answered questions completely. You may have complete confidence that you will understand your rights and responsibilities when you leave. I do think, however, that he was a little surprised that an old, fat guy with one leg in a wheelchair could black out the X ring with a puny little 9mm in less than 20 rounds.

Both Lee and Raul are an excellent teachers and very knowledgeable from their respective military and law enforcement experience. The classes are informative and have lots of good detail as well as easy to understand. They brings their respective insights into the classroom and the class time went by very fast. Time on the range was good and both were present to make sure things went smoothly and make suggestions on how we were shooting. They both patiently answered questions in class and on the range. The only negative was the class was rather large (about 16 folks), but by splitting up the rooms when it went time for some hands on learning, it seemed to work just fine. I would definitely recommend Safety Measures.
