If anyone is interested in finding an instructor for their CCW certificate. Either their initial…read morecourse or renewal, I highly recommend going through John Glatthar with Semper Firearms here in Palomino Valley. He keeps the class sizes small and is efficient with time management as well as being incredibly knowledgeable with answering all the questions asked. A couple ladies came from Carson and mentioned at the end of the day they were so thankful for his class because they took a couple firearms training classes in their area and had not such good instructor experiences. And I'll have to say, John was pretty thorough during the sit-down portion of the class and by the time we were done with the range- everyone was really happy with the whole day!

I have taken the firearms safety class from Sandra. It was very informative to a person who has…read morenever owned a gun prior to 2020. We spent the day going over how to use the gun, take it apart, clean it and went to the range to shoot properly. I am a married man and Sandra never used any inappropriate language to any one in the class, nor did she discuss her personal life. She was also very positive with all the students, never downgrading anyone who did not understand at first. I find it very inappropriate for someone to use this platform for a personal vendetta. This was a very good class to learn if you want to learn how to handle a weapon correctly.

Great gun store and even better range; best in Northern Nevada!…read more The service is fantastic. They are patient and really go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and that you understand safety and what you're doing and make everything really easy. When you get there you complete your registration and rent a lane. Then you can either use your own firearm, eye and ear protection, and ammunition or you can rent or purchase everything. You can rent handguns and various semi-auto rifles for a flat rate plus ammunition, or you can rent automatics or belt fed machine guns by buying magazines or belts, no flat rental rate required. It can all add up pretty quickly but overall the rates and prices are reasonable. I had a great time, my favorite was firing the Thompson submachine gun on full auto, and will definitely be back for the M1!

I just call him first or send him an email with what I am interested in and he gets back to me with a quote. Main reason I do business with him though is that he is a first rate human being and all around good guy. He is a fellow veteran. He goes out of his way to help on everything I have asked for help on. I recommend him whole-heartedly, he is one of the best businesses I have ever worked with.

Since the business is a home-based FFL it's a little bit out of the way from Reno, but the process of buying a gun was simple and straightforward and worth the drive. Mike even went to the trouble of meeting me in town to finish a sale since we had to wait until the next day for a NICS background check. If you ever have any questions or want to check out some firearms, I would strongly recommend using Big Valley for your purchases. Helping out your local small business is always a much better option than going to big box stores like Cabela's or Sportsman's, and Mike does a pretty darn good job at matching even some of the best prices out there. You can often catch him at the local gun shows as well if you're ever curious about what he has available without having to drive to him. Keep an eye out for Big Valley any time you're thinking about buying a firearms. Thanks, Mike!
