Here is the short review: this is an excellent local gun shop and 100% worth your time to check…read moreout. Here is the longer review if the TLDR didn't suffice: Let me start off by saying that i've been a target shooter for close to 17 years and a maryland resident all my life. In college, I have also worked at a local gun shop in maryland before, though those days are behind me. I possess a c&r license and while I primarily collect older firearms I've got plenty of modern rifles and handguns and am getting into competitive shooting. I am writing this review as someone who has 1. Consigned a firearm at this store and had it sold for me there 2. Purchased a firearm at this store 3. Hung out and window shopped several times. My experience at this store has been so overwhelmingly positive that it has likely supplanted several of the other local shops in rockville that are closer to me. The atmosphere of the store is relaxed with seating and a free mini fridge stocked with sodas, water, and a coffee maker all completely free. The store is also clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing with a social and relaxed atmosphere. The two gentleman that run this store are unbelievably friendly and outgoing which is often not the case in many gun stores. They are both knowledgeable with one specializing in antique / c&r firearms and the other in modern firearms and equipment. I find the two gentleman to be a great balance to each other and enjoy the time that I spend in the store perusing inventory and speaking with them every time i've gone. If I had to offer one critique, it would perhaps be the small size of the store. This is nitpicky though as they have a decent inventory and are seemingly able to order most anything you need if you talk with them AND one very cool thing they offer is a look for list where they will take your information down and contact you if that special piece shows up at the store (I'm currently looking for a world war one era German Luger). I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to both Rick and Alex for raising the bar of local gun shops. -Simmons

I was looking for a course to fulfill the requirement to receive my HQL and I'm glad I chose ACS…read more While I had some very basic knowledge of guns, gun safety, and gun laws, this class would be great for someone who knows absolutely nothing, as long as they come in with the right attitude. I thought the small class size (I was the only student for my class but Tom, the instructor, said his classes would typically have 3-5 students) was extremely beneficial and in my opinion would set it apart from other classes available. Because I was able, and encouraged, to ask questions throughout the course, it was taught more like a discussion rather than a lecture. This helped to comprehend and remember everything that was taught and easily pass the exam at the end of the class. Some of the questions on the NRA exam are poorly worded and a little confusing, but they were no problem because I knew everything so well as a result of Tom's instruction. After the lecture we went to the range. Since it was just the two of us we rode there together, which allowed the discussion to continue and I was able to get his opinion and recommendation about gun ranges and stores, how to choose a gun, web sites to learn more about local gun laws, and next steps to continue learning and practicing. This is all something I wouldn't have gotten had I taken a larger class with the lecture taught at the range. At the range Tom was very helpful and his knowledge and experience allowed him to quickly point out exactly what I was doing right and what needed to be corrected. Since the lecture portion is done so well, even with the little hands-on instruction we're able to get before going to the range, I was confident handling the loaded gun for the first time. From there, after each set of shooting five rounds, Tom reiterated what I was doing correctly and offered tips on how to correct things that needed improvement. There was plenty of practice at the range, again a result of a small class. As a whole the course was not just very informative but also very fun. I can't wait to get back out and practice the skills I learned from Tom. If additional courses are available in the future I will be coming back to ACS for sure. Thanks to this course, I'm very excited and enthusiastic about my new hobby.

Tomer took the time addressing all my questions to ensure this training was the right fit for me. Most places would have been happy just to take my money. The course was exactly as described on his web site. There was no bs, no fluff, you hit the ground running, literally. Even though I had some experience with shooting, I still learned a lot. The course was realistic in teaching you skills so you are prepared under stress / under attack, in various situations such as a moving vehicle, and defending yourself against various weapons, just to name a few. Tomer makes you think and see things differently and the scenarios are realistic. I highly recommend Tomer / Israeli Tactical School.
