One On One Firearms is top notch. I have taken three classes from them, and all of them have been amazing. Joe and Ryan are very knowledgeable and are more than happy to share that knowledge with you. The classes are fun, entertaining, and informative. I learned alot from each class. Everybody at One On One is extremely professional. I highly recommend this company. read more

What an incredible training program. I went from a beginner to attaining my CCW with the expert training One One One Firearms provides. Joe Truesdale is the ideal instructor providing structure, safety, confidence, patience, and skill. I highly recommend this program to anyone, whether you are an experienced shooter, or just beginning. A great experience! read more

Great group of guys. Fun efficient classes. Whether ccw or training. Knowledgeable and fun. Excellent!

Great trainers. They promote a very safe culture. I have taken courses from several providers, One on One Firearms training is consistently excellent. read more

Truesdale knows his stuff when it comes to safety, shooting, and the law, but is a little heavy handed with his political opinions. He has a habit of going on tangents about his positions on the civil war (the "War of Northern Aggression" as he calls it), police involved shootings, controversial shootings/killings involving people of color, abortions, and the current state of the country/world. One would expect some political talking points related to a CCW class, but it was excessive. I found it unprofessional. Just offering some constructive criticism, from one professional to another. Other than that, he is a good instructor who explains things well and makes safety for everyone a top priority. I can say the same for the other 2 gentleman at the range. Great instructors with lots of knowledge. Safety is a priority. read more

Growing up shooting and being in the military I like most people thought I knew how to shoot, until I trained with Joe and his team many years ago, at this time he fixed everything I thought I knew. Fast forward to now, my girlfriend wanted to learn how to shoot and she having zero experience and me being a terrible instructor I brought her to Joe for her to be trained properly by the best. She was very intimidated before the class but at the end Joe had her safely drawing a loaded pistol and putting rounds in her target in constant groups and made her much more confident in herself and skills. She is now interested in possibly shooting IDPA. read more

I signed up for ONE on ONE Firearms' Home Defense Shotgun Course. I love that this was a small class. Joe Truesdale puts safety first in everything the class does. He is passionate and enthusiastic, very patient and makes it a point to spend One on One time with every student through every drill. He encourages questions and you can't help but leave feeling more confident. I went from not handling a shotgun in 20 yrs to understanding current gun laws, handling techniques and situational awareness. Best of all...I had fun!! read more

The team of Joe, Fred, and Ryan are great! I've gone to a few different trainers in my 16 years of being a CCW holder but changed to One on One about 6 years ago because I procrastinated and couldn't get into a class with my then normal trainer. Boy am I glad I procrastinated. If I didn't, I wouldn't have found my "forever trainers." All of my previous instructors talk down to their students in their attempt to be stern. I get it, they are teaching a very serious and necessary skill, but Joe, Fred, and Ryan are different. They understand that learning about firearms can be intimidating and they make sure to create a welcoming environment for their students. They take the time to get to know you and your individual needs and make sure to tailor their instruction accordingly. One of the things I appreciate most about these guys is their attention to detail. They make sure to cover all the necessary information, from the basics of gun safety to more advanced techniques. They also place a strong emphasis on situational awareness and understanding the legal aspects of carrying concealed. I always leave their classes feeling more confident in my abilities and more knowledgeable about the responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm. Overall, I highly recommend One on One Firearms Training to anyone looking to improve their skills and knowledge about firearms. The team of Joe, Fred, and Ryan are great and I feel lucky to have found them. They are professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, they make learning about firearms fun! So if you're looking for a trainer that will take the time to understand your needs and provide you with quality instruction, look no further than One on One Firearms Training. Thanks Joe! Thanks Fred! Thanks Ryan!! read more

Great place for any firearms training. The guys who run the place are awesome and very knowledgeable. I'll be going back for additional training. read more

If you want to prefect your skills, the team from One on One Firearms are just the guys to help you do it. I learned more from the team than anyone I've ever trained with. I definitely recommend taking any class One on One Firearms provides. I'll be signing up for my next class after the holidays!!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!!!! read more

Hmmm the reviews need to be 85 characters or more to post? Never seen that before. Ok so, I don't wanna slam the instructor here, as I feel this particular individual doesn't fit that criteria to go over the details, in length, of why i chose my " stars " review. Let's just say as fact, in retrospect, i should have done better research to fit my firearms training needs as a disabled person. It wasn't a good fit for me, yet I would recommend this instructor to anyone not in my situation to give this company a try. Good luck to everyone and stay frosty. read more

One on One Firearms Training is awesome! I took my CA CCW training last weekend and the Utah Multi-State CCW training back in November. I am always impressed with their professionalism, friendliness, expertise and most importantly, their desire to maintain a safe atmosphere for all the students inside the class room and outside on the range. Ryan and Fred make a phenomenal team together on the range. They both are extremely helpful and never ever make you look or feel stupid if you are new to firearms. Additionally, Joe and Ryan keep the classroom interesting and informative. I know there are always other options when it comes to consumer services. Let me say this.... Don't waste your time searching around. One on One is your best option for safe and rock-solid firearms training. In addition, the pricing for their training is in line with other companies that offer the same type of services. Don't risk your safety around a bunch of strangers with firearms. You can trust One on One to keep you safe during all your training. They take their business and your safety serious. Visit them at oneononefirearms.com and get signed up for some of their courses! read more

Another renewal class on the books. The instructors always makes the class safe and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend One on One for anyone who is interested in training. Never had a bad experience with this team and will definitely be back again. It says a lot when you have great instructors and a positive/friendly group to train next to. read more

I went to the handgun foundations class today with Fred and Ryan as the instructors. It was my very first time shooting, and had no idea how it would go. But they did not make me feel dumb at all, I wasn't judged, it was an awesome experience and I learned so much :).. I even hit a few things. It was a small group of 8 students and it was a great environment for learning. I really appreciated the one on one times that helped me correct (or work on correcting lol) where I was going wrong. Overall, I am so happy I went today, and I definitely recommend them to anyone :) thank you, and I'll be back! read more

I recently attended the CCW class at One on One Firearms and I am so impressed I already signed up for another class in May and am about to sign up for a June one as well. I honestly didn't know what to expect and was a little concerned about the instructors being intimidating and unfriendly, turns out they were the complete opposite. Everyone was kind, incredibly helpful, offered constructive feedback without being condescending and kept the class light and fun while maintaining a safe and educational environment. I would definitely recommend them! read more

I haven't even taken a class here (YET) but already, I know I will. Joe was so helpful in answering my questions and setting me in the right direction, I will be scheduling my classes with him! read more

Very knowledgeable and professional. They really care about safety. They also have a good selection of courses.

I had my initial ccw training this past weekend, Joe was my class instructor. He made the class fun and explained everything very well. He made time to answer all the questions we had. The range portion of the course was pretty cool both Joe and Ryan took there time with the students and helped out a lot. read more

Just completed the 8 Hour Shotgun 1 - Tactical Defense Class. It was my first training class as a new 12-gauge owner. Joe and Ryan instructed this course and they were great! They took safety VERY seriously. Class was suitable for all skill levels as they went over safety procedures, in-depth explanations of ammo types and applications, different 12-gauge weapon systems and how they work, recommendations and thoughts on how to set up a 12-gauge for defense/competition. They drilled how to resolve malfunctions and how to properly load and manipulate a shotgun. Great class that felt safe the entire time while being the most fun I've had behind a gun. Definitely ended the day with gained skill sets and increased confidence. read more

This is my 8th year as a CCW holder. I have taken many classes to improve my shooting skills, but the guys at One on One Firearms are the best at what they do! Safety is paramount, but the training is realistic, active and closely supervised. You get constructive comments to improve your aim, grip and draw, this results in better overall marksmanship. If you really want QUALITY training to get better results on the range or how to protect yourself and the ones you love the most, train with these guys! I am planning to take more classes with them to build on the foundation they helped me develop. Especially in today's troubled times, I want to be prepared. read more

I recently took a class with One on One. The instructors were awesome. They were all extremely knowledgeable and you could tell they're passionate about the industry. When it came to range day they were focused on each detail of your stance, grip and overall shooting that they were are able to give amazing tips and feedback so we would improve our accuracy. Huge thank you to Ryan, Joe and Fred. I will be taking more classes in the near future. read more

What another great experience! Went in for some more training today and I was fortunate that my co-worker told me about Joe, Sean, Fred and Ryan late last year.Took a handgun training course with them and learned so much. I am looking forward to more training with them in the near future. If you purchased a firearm, I highly recommend that you get some training. Most people purchase a firearm for means of home defense, but have little to no training. People wait to hear that "bump" in the night before using there firearm. Do yourself and your family a favor. Get some training. You won't regret it. It's safe, fun, and you learn a lot in just one session. Learn from the pros!!! read more

I trained with Fred Mowrey and he is amazing! I had two private sessions and I feel much more confident handling a firearm. Fred is extremely knowledgeable and he's also very patient. Plus, he has gone above and beyond to help me make the right firearm purchase. He even met me at Turners to help me with my purchases. When training, I felt safe because he taught me firearm safety, and he himself made it a priority. And he isn't affronting with his teaching style or mannerisms (for the ladies out there, there's no "broseph" vibe). I highly recommend private sessions because I never would have received the level of attention I felt I wanted in a class setting. read more

In September I came back for a private handgun lesson with Joe, Initial Issue CCW class, and Handgun 2: Reactive Shooting. Once again, professional and friendly staff, classroom and range time, and lots of new information and skills learned! I am very thankful for One on One Firearms and what they have taught me this year. read more

Had level 1 firearm training today with my new 9mm. I am low experienced at shooting. This company was excellent. Safety was their number one priority. Ryan was an excellent trainer and a great marksman to teach me proper usage. the small group (6) was perfect size. we all had a blast. I would highly recommend this company for novice or learning basics of a new weapon. read more

I just took my 16 hour course. I learned SO much!! Ryan, Joe and Fred are amazing! I know so much more about firearms, the law, and firearm safety. I was scared to handle firearm before, but because I learned so much I'm not anymore. I highly recommend ONE on ONE Firearms if you own a gun. Just because you own a firearm doesn't mean you know that firearm. Please do your family, others and yourself and take this course!! read more

Absolutely Gold! This team of professionals will give you the honest and true ways of 2A defending oneself, in this red-tape state! If you have no experience or a lot, there is much to learn from them! Zero Ego, great teachers. I felt safe the entire time and they instructed very clearly and direct! Get your CCW, as you are your best First Response! read more

I just took the firearms foundations class and it was fantastic! Extremely informative and safe. Ryan and Fred were outstanding. They kept the day moving well, had a great energy and sense of humor, and took the time to coach everyone individually and answer everyone's questions. 10/10 would recommend this to all skill levels. read more

This was an amazing experience! I learned so much and feel alot more confident carrying and shooting a firearm. They have great instructors. I just took their Handgun 1 class and plan on taking their Handgun 2 class and obtaining my CCW. I'm thankful I found this firearm safety and training company. I will highly recommend One on One Firearms to all my friends and family. read more

Joe, Fred, Ryan and Sean continue to help me develop survival skills in all kinds of scenarios. Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting in a low to no light situation. Thanks to the guys at Shooters Paradise in Yuba City for staying late for our class. Being prepared with a plan for every situation is a valuable life skill. Learning strategies that give you more than a fighting chance are the skills that save loved ones and friends. I just went back to review shooting notes and certificates I have earned from One on One Firearms and that was my 24th class. I keep coming back because the classes are well run, I always feel like safety is the number one priority and my skills are stronger after every class. We train hard and laugh a lot. Thank you for another eye opening experience. read more

I recently attended a CCW class after a friend recommended them to me. The class is a small size so you get top notch instruction. All of the team members there are knowledgeable, professional, and create a welcoming environment for shooters of all skill levels. You may think the classes are pricey, but it's well worth it training with these guys. They make sure you leave knowing much more than you did when you came in. Several Marines in our class told me that they wished all of their trainings were like this. I highly recommend these guys! read more

I went for my CCW and their course is excellent! Sean & Joe are friendly to approach, ask any question, informative, and are enthusiastic to teach. After taking their course, I now fully understand what it truly means to have a CCW. I am planning to take their other courses they offer for firearms and shotgun training. I highly recommend people check them out for the CCW and other firearm courses read more

Took the Handgun 1 - Foundations course with One on One and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Excellent, incredibly knowledgeable staff there to teach and reinforce technique. A light-hearted, but disciplined experience that I really enjoyed. There were about 8-10 of us broken up into two groups with each group taking a turn at the line. 3 instructors walking the line and making sure that everyone is getting the assistance and tweaks that each student needs to perfect their technique. One of their sponsored competition shooters was in our group that day, so it was like having an extra instructor there to assist. You wouldn't buy a car without learning how to operate it safely and responsibly. You owe it to yourself (and your family) as a gun owner to do the same for your firearms. Looking forward to the next course! read more

Top notch firearm training - my wife and I took the Handgun 1 course with Joe Truesdale last weekend. Joe went above and beyond to make everyone feel safe and welcome through effective leadership. It's clear that he really cares and takes pride in seeing his students improve. read more

Wife and I just did a shotgun training session with Joe. Top notch trainer! Very easy to talk to, very easy to take in what he's teaching and just generally very confidence inspiring. I came in with a little firearms training (not so much shotguns) but my wife was completely new to it. He did a great job of going over the basics with us both but covered lots of finer points too. She says she feels a lot for confident handling the shotgun now, and I'm all the more confident we'll both be safe. Thanks Joe! read more

Amazing experience! They made the class fun and engaging. They really did an exemplary job explaining not just handgun basics, but storage, travel, and history. They gave each student individualized coaching during our practices. Ryan and Sean are simply amazing. I felt eons more comfortable with a handgun after their class than when I entered their class. read more

I drove all the way from San Jose to take this class and hoping it wouldn't turn out horribly but instead it is the BEST firearm training ever! Joe is very knowledgeable and very patient. I was very nervous cause I never held or shot a rifle before however today I learn so much. I learned how to take my rifle apart, clean it, and shoot it. It was an amazing experience, I am able to walk away feeling confident with the skills I was given today. I am definitely going back! read more

Thorough and comprehensive CCW training. Worth the time and investment. I strongly recommend One on One training. Kudo's to Joe and his team (Sean, Fred and others)! read more

Love these guys! I signed up for a CCW class and Utah multi state course. The instructors were amazing. Very informative. The classroom was very thorough and there was plenty of time and space to ask questions and discuss topics. The range training and qualification was informational and fun (also I felt super safe the whole time!) I am very happy with my classes thus far and will be back for more training with these guys! You can tell they love what they do and have a good time while providing awesome instruction in a safe environment! read more

If you are truly serious about CCW and gun SAFETY, this is your best bet. Joe is no nonsense about gun safety and that really means a lot to me......you know, because I like living ;) Great instruction, awesome time at the range. I really feel much more confident about CCW after taking this class with Joe. One on One is a great choice, you will not regret it. read more
