I'm a beginner and that day at the range was my first time actually firing a firearm. Mike & Mike Sr.are fantastic instructors, who shared their hard won experiences working in the law enforcement and professional protection field. They made the class thoroughly informative, engaging and fun; while instilling us with safe and responsible firearms handling. They both shared valuable insights and tips that benefited me as a beginner and the more advanced students who attended. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to learn the basics and walk away with new skills they can drill on their own. Thank you Split Fire for the fantastic training!

The staff were incredibly welcoming, patient, and helpful, which made a huge difference as a first-timer. Huge shoutout to Mark Francisco for taking the time to teach my son and me the fundamentals. He explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable and safe the entire time. Thanks to Mark's guidance, we left feeling confident shooting and had so much fun. I recently got into this sport, and this experience definitely made me want to keep going. We will definitely be back!

My first visit to this range was a great experience. We did our research online beforehand, watched…read morethe required safety videos, and completed the waivers, which made the check-in process smooth and efficient. We arrived on a Sunday around 2:00 p.m., and parking was easy. There was a short line at check-in, but with two staff members working the counter, the wait only took a few minutes. They issued a range card to streamline future visits. The rules are clearly explained, and they expect everyone to follow them. The staff were professional, friendly, and focused on safety while also offering helpful suggestions and assistance. I brought my 1970 Winchester Model 94 Saddle Rifle .30-30, along with my grandfather's 1950 Marlin Model 336 .30-30, which I had just gotten back from the gunsmith after having a new firing pin installed. The range provides large cardboard targets designed for their rifle target system. During cease-fire, shooters walk downrange and place their targets between plastic poles at distances of 25, 50, 75, or 100 yards. I chose the 50-yard range. You can also bring your own targets to tape onto the provided backers, so bringing tape and extra targets if you like. A spotting scope or binoculars is also helpful. My Winchester was shooting dead on. I struggled a bit with the Marlin, but it was my first time shooting it and the rear sight definitely needs some adjustment. We had a great time. I appreciated the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Unlike some other ranges I've visited, I didn't feel any tension during check-in or while on the line. Just follow the rules. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I'll definitely be back soon to shoot handguns.

I'm fairly new to Diabo Rod & Gun, but this is a very very welcoming group. Recently became a…read moremember. I took their Women's intro class! I can't say enough great things about it. We had aproximately 16 ladies in class, and after the morning instruction, had about 2+ hours of shooting, with various volunteer instructors practicing with various guns (aprox 20). This is really great with those of us in the market to purchase a pistol or rifle, and learn what is a good fit or not. The class was very informative, low cost considering the amount of information and safety training you get, feed us breakfast and lunch, and we didn't have to bring our own fire arms, unless we wanted to. As a bonus, we had a Ladies Shoot night for those of us who are already gun owners, and for 2+ hours after USI Range hours, we had full access to practice shooting our own fire arms, with guidance from the well trained volunteer instructors , which was extremely helpful for us newbies!!! I can't say enough great things about our instructors Chris and Blade, and all the Volunteer Expert Coaches! Seperate from the Women's Classes and Shooting event, the club is run by just a really nice family oriented group of people. They have monthly meetings, potlucks, and lots of activities to keep everyone interested. All very kind, and willing to help out a newbie in learning a new sports and self defense. Anyone thinking of owning a fire arm should come take their classes and seriously consider joining their Diablo Rod & Gun Club! You won't be disappointed!!!

I took their beginning women's course. Blade and Chris were so amazing. They made us feel…read morecomfortable around the guns and walked beside us the whole way. Then in the afternoon they had several coaches bring guns and we were able to try them all while being trained at the same time. Blade stayed after and helped me with my new gun my husband bought me. You could see he really cares. All of them did. I am looking forward to practicing again and Chris and Blade even offered to meet us to help us learn. I highly recommend this class. All women should go through this whether you want a gun or not. There were all ages from mother and daughter to your grandmother. Zero skills to people with skills. My confidence has gone way up since I understand more what it's about, the gun, and safety rules. Again, whether you believe in guns or deathly afraid, after this class it will give you the understanding of safety and handling. They have classes for younger kids too. Sign em up!

If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress--whether you're just getting started or refining advanced skills--Blake at the Martinez Gun Club is your guy. From the first moment, he made everything feel approachable, with zero pressure and endless patience. He has a calm, no-rush teaching style that creates the perfect environment for learning. Blake takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, never making you feel rushed or overwhelmed, and always meeting you where you're at. His ability to work with beginners while also helping experienced shooters fine-tune their technique is truly impressive. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the results. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow in the sport at any level.

*DISCLOSURE* I am a competitor to STM…read more STM is one of the VERY few companies that I refer people to when I can't take on a particular client or don't have any openings for new employees. It's rare in this industry to find a company with respectable management, leaders, and employees. Even being a competitor, Larry has been a pleasure to work with and I know his company is top notch. If I were looking to hire security, STM would be my first stop.

As a current employee of STM, I see first hand the dedication STM puts into their employees to ensure that we are equipped, ready, and able to carry out our job duties and ensure the safety of the people and materials we are assigned to, wherever we are posted.

They both have a purpose, depending on your objectives. They do, most certainly, adhere to a higher level of safety, since there is so much more going on. Carelessness can get you a DQ (disqualified, for the day). But don't worry, you can come back the next day and they still love you. I really do appreciate the heightened vigilance regarding safety. Nice crew, super-helpful and enough safety rules to make you comfortable without going overboard. Wonderful balance!

Chris and Blade are nothing but perfect gentleman, with pristine expectations of their students. It's incredibly safe, and they keep such a close eye on all of us. They are kind, non-pretentious, funny, and a damn good time! The entire staff had a heart full of gold, only wanting to educate women on how to defend themselves. I could go on and on... this place is better than Martinez gun club by far. I trust these men wholeheartedly to teach me the way, I can't wait to be a member!

May 1st, I was contacted by Juan Brooks of JCB International Training on Bark.com. He tried calling…read moreme from (310) 895-0066, then I called him back to let him know that I was trying to confirm the name of of the owner of a house for a restraining order. I told him I already went to the County Assessor's office, so I already have the name of the owners. My question was if he could confirm the name of the owner by cross-checking with the owner names as well the vehicle of this house owner since this person lives around the neighborhood. Mr. Brooks said gave me the flat fee of $250 to do what I asked. I paid him on May 2nd, and sent him an email at jcbitsc@yahoo.com with the address I was looking to confirm as well as the vehicle number. On May 9th, he emailed me a reply saying he confirmed the owners of the house -- Note: There was nothing else, save for his word. I replied asking if we can verify the ownership of the vehicle since the person living at the home (the person I see daily or majority of the time) is not confirmation that person is also the owner. Mr. Brooks said he'd get back to me. Meanwhile, the law film I was working with asks me during a conversation: Did you verify if this private investigator has a license? Me: No. May 16th, Juan Brooks emails me to say that he was out of town for business. May 20th, I email a reply saying I'm in the process of finding another private investigator since the law firm I was working with is trying to get my situation handled. I also noticed that Juan Brook's website (http://www.jcbitsc.com/) is no longer active. I went ahead looking for other private investigators on Yelp, verifying licenses, pricing, and I came across Verity Investigative Group who quoted $95 for everything I needed to do, and also confirmed that he would be able to do everything that day within the hour. He did. May 24th, I get an email from Juan Brooks that he'll have a full report the following week. I'm still waiting on that report. Meanwhile, I filed a dispute with my credit union...and plan on filing a complaint with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

Bottom line, this company was hired to make sure we have our parking pass placed in a visible place, and that is it. Our HOA has the rules in place for the residents, and this company oversteps them. I WOULD NOT recommend them at all, and I hope we change companies very soon to bring peace of mind back to the neighborhood
