I took the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course and the concealed carry course. This experience…read morereally is better than you could hope for. This is better because the instructor is patient with the student while imparting concepts and objectives, such as handgun safety and maintenance. The instructor is knowledgeable as he answered all questions (some were in unrelated topics, like personal defense against knife attack), and, shared some stories and personal experiences to highlight a lesson. In addition, he made me aware of some relatively cheaper shopping venues for many cleaning supplies, holsters, and ammunition. The decor is old and that makes for a counter-intuitive experience - you are getting a high knowledge base, but should disregard the setting, and focus on the teacher-student relationship.

Our class consisted of people from ALL backgrounds and ages...from novice to experienced and everything in between. Myself being older, highly skilled and experienced, I liked how no question was ever overlooked or undervalued by our instructors vast knowledge from those with less knowledge. The highlight of the 2 day CCL class for me was range qualification. It was relaxed, yet structured and everyone was at ease and safe. As is most things in life, the more you put in...the more you'll get out of the overall experience. Although instructor Don could have droned on and on doing ALL the reading, he wisely chose all the class members to read aloud. This was helpful to the entire class and especially the shy students who would've just sat back letting their classmates carry the class. My experience was quite satisfying and highly productive. Instructors Don and TC are dedicated to teaching students well and it shows in their actions.

Absolutely do not give this man your money. The class is mostly him rambling about his own…read morepolitics, making up statistics that you can look up and prove aren't true, and just generally being a bigot and a creep. He also makes tons of comments about how "even women" can learn to shoot and things like that. He spent so long talking about political crap that we ran out of time for the actual class in order to make it to the range on time. He gave literally ONE sentence of direction about each person's shooting and then rushed us all out. He was also so scattered that he didn't bring our certifications with him to the range so I had to make a second trip to the office to pick it up. Horrible experience and I don't feel any more knowledgeable than before I dropped a couple hundred bucks on this jerk.

Hi my name is qiana i posted a review regarding this establishment a year ago frustrated and…read moreconfused i gave a negative rating not knowing the process that it takes to get a conceal and carry in the state of Illinois. I wld like to share my update. First ill like to apologize to the owner Julio. My ignorance made me write the review what i didnt knw that i knw now is that Illinois has been over loaded with new applications and that for that reason its been a delay on reviewing applications. Not only is it time consuming but Illinois just don't have the man power to keep up with all the new applications. So the process can take a long time! Also with my application i switched addresses. When filling your conceal everything must match if not it will be rejected and sent back . Julio immediately reached out to me and he he took ownership and made my application a main priority. When new information came about he wld inform me and he wld reach out. I will not say the process was short . It was extremely long and u are kept in limbo with the state.. But i have my conceal to carry To present day!! Julio worked to find HARD to find my processing error the state never told me why my application was rejected... It was Julio that found the error and made the necessary corrections.. After i got my License Julio assisted me to apply for the remaining states ... I feel bad that i went to social media and slander this buissnes on my ignorance. I just hope as others seek this place and review my commentary that people will see its not about what happen but what was done in the service recovery that makes the real difference!. I just want to give a warm shot out to Gemini for staying on top of things! u earned my business and ill definitely send u more !! FOR GREAT DEALS AND GUN EDUCATION OR TO PURCHASE FIRE ARMS Or find out about gun laws I HIGHLY RECOMMEND U GUYS TRY GEMINI AND ASK FOR JULIO tell em Q send U...

I highly recommend Standard Force to anyone needing a firearm instructor that will work with your busy schedule.
