As mentioned in another review, Sandy was the primary instructor and Larry taught a segment on pistol and pistol ammunition history. He also added occasional comments to Sandy's narrative. The word best describing the staff and the company is "integrity." They take seriously what they're doing and meld their knowledge on the variety of issues taught in the class into one, consistent message. Both were highly personable and professional throughout the day, were very organized as the presented material on several subjects. Both kept the class moving, avoiding possible ratholes and expertly guiding conversations back to the curriculum so there were no pressured moments later in the day. Larry provided valuable perspective on purchasing concealed carry holsters. Their shooting simulator is amazing. It, operated and interpreted by Larry, provides deep and readily actionable insight into shooting errors. I was relieved that I found such deeply knowledgable and enthusiastic instructors from whom to take this class. I will associate with this company for all things gun-related, including directing my purchases through them. read more

Not only are Security Six members friendly, they are strictly about business and professionalism. I've learned a lot here in the last two days about shooting and reminded on some key points of common sense using a firearm. Although that Monday's class took forever it was worth it. It's an investment into yourself and if you're looking to get your guard card or Expose carry Permit, Security Six is the place to do it! read more

Very informative, lightning Larry is super cool and the fastest old man in the east bay lol.

I found the staff and lightning Larry Hamby to be extremely professional. I took their security guard open carry permit firearm calibers 38 + 357 + 9 m m + 10 m m + 40 + 45 caliber training and they were very patient with me. I found this to be very helpful with my new semi-automatic Glock 9 as I have been more used to firing revolvers and rifles over the last 50 years. I found that lightning Larry was very helpful with Marksmanship stance proper eye Focus and grip as well as safety concerns and moral considerations. I intend to continue with my annual re-qualifications and also to get baton training from lightning Larry and his lovely staff, at Security Six Yours Truly The Frisco Kid AKA The Black Knight AKA rimshot and the Rippers AKA Alamo Little Hawk Falconito Lieutenant Nicholas hochberg 17th count of Hochberg read more

Larry and Anette are super knowledgeable and professional about their profession. Larry was the instructor for the class and he was on point with his stuff and made it super easy to understand about the course he was teaching. I will be back for any future classes or course I need. Thanks again Larry for making it fun!!! read more

I took me my exposed firearm class here, it was the best class experience with the most thorough instructor. Larry is king he gave me pointers on how to improve my shot, points out the errors in how i can improve it and made the learning material clear as day helping everyone retain it the information I highly recommend this place if you want to get any security certifications will be coming back for more. read more

I've been guarding for about 5 years and finally bit the bullet to start getting my other licenses. Security Six was the physically closest to me but is clearly the superior choice for my fellow Security Officers wanting to improve themselves. Larry Hamby is a national treasure. You are not shooting wrong but you will certainly shoot better once you take a the Open Carry or CCW course from him. It was worth taking off work to train here. Excellent one stop shop for Security Guard training. Will return for the Baton, Pepperspray, and Handcuffing courses. read more

Annette is great, wonderful personality and really knows her job. The class started on time, it was interesting hearing about different experiences and meeting the owner, Larry. The staff were professional and the class does actually take 7 to 8 hours. I will be back for firearms certification. read more

Security Six Training - Kewl targets, nice nice nice staff! - Private Investigation Near Me - Hayward, California

I Just completed my BSIS exposed firearm permit class with both Larry & Sandy. Sandy was the main instructor for this class, but Larry was there observing and intervened as needed. I was very impressed with the class structure and all the knowledge that I learned in the 2 day class. They both taught and corrected any bad habits I have developed over the years. I wasn't expecting the course to be as structured as it was, but I was very impressed with all the knowledge and training they both brought to the class. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!! C. Gomez read more

First time I was there, it was for a PPT. They seemed to be quick and efficient and reasonably priced and I needed someone close to do an out of state transfer so went with Security Six for my own transfer too. Their pricing is pretty fair as it is always the same flat rate, can't say the same for all FFLs. Friendly folks all around and they take their business seriously. Can't wait to come back for my hardware! Very certain I'll be back for other transfers too in the future! read more

Nice people that work there, very helpful and the trainer story's are Hilarious Definitely recommend going to be here

Larry and Annette are outstanding! Please do not believe the negative reviews. Security Six is a pillar of the community and deserves the highest praise. Paul A. Renault read more

The staff were very nice and professional. I've taken multiple classes here at Security Six to get certified, and all were great experience. I've learned many advice and techniques from Larry and Annette. I would definitely recommend this training facility. read more

Security Six Training - Private Investigation Near Me - Hayward, California

Didn't know what to expect walking in. My job had sent me for Firearms Permit Training. Got me in right away - no hassles. Larry and staff were phenomenal! The collective knowledge and experience by the instructors was unbelievable. They didn't just talk the talk, they explained and applied things to their real-life experiences. Kept the situational training interesting. Thought it would be just a 'refresher' but I walked away learning so much! Great people, great class - They did not disappoint. Thanks Larry and Sandi! You guys rock! Definitely worth the drive out there. read more

Security Six is the best place to go for all your security needs!!! The ladies who work there there are awesome!!! Larry Hamby is the best instructor you can ask for!!! read more

These folks are the best people I've requal'ed with. I can't remember the name of the woman or gentleman that lead the requals, but they're both extremely professional and skilled. This place gets you in fast, their admin is awesome and they always are happy to lend their expertise to good firearm practice before you qualify. read more

I purchased a shotgun from a friend and needed an FFL to complete the transfer. The staff at Security Six Training were great! Incredibly easy to deal with, very nice, completely professional. I felt well taken care of and will return next time I need FFL services. read more

Larry is an absolute pleasure to work with. Sure, he's got decades of experience and expertise. But he's also just a nice person with a great attitude and clearly a genuinely good guy. He did a private party transfer for me and I will definitely use him again in the future. read more

The staff is very knowledgeable and efficient. If you need any firearm transfer done, this is the place to be.

I have been to other places of business to do my Requalification but I have to say they have been the most professional and attentive. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Easy to call and get info that you need and they are always helpful in make sure you have what you need. And the plus side is that they have a really cool firearms simulator. Saves money on ammo and range. 5 stars all around!! Best team in the bay!!! Just so you all know I come from Solano to Hayward just to use security six. read more

Took their handcuffing techniques and defensive tactics course and chemical agents course today. Learned a ton! The instructors were all very knowledgeable and great to learn from and work with! They all were able to deliver perspectives outside of what I have learned in the past. read more

I took a handcuffing class here recently overall, I learned a lot but there were a few things that stood out to me in a negative way. The class was with myself and two males, taught by Larry-the owner. For starters, we had to wait at least 15 minutes for the third student to get there before starting the class. I asked Larry about his martial arts experience because he had photos on the wall of him training. He is a 9th degree black belt in Shodokan Aikido if I remember correctly. I talked to him about my experience, he asked a lot of questions on the ranking system and whatnot. I didn't think these conversations would lead to him showing each handcuffing technique on me but it did. He slid one had on my hip during one handcuffing demo which was inappropriate and not part of the arrest technique (ie: back of hand weapons check). He showed a wrist technique or two on myself and another student. As a lifelong martial artist who is experienced training with a variety of styles and ranks, I believe he used too much force. Although I don't train in Shodokan, I have worked with blackbelts in the style when they teach or demo it is for the purpose of teaching not injury. The other student he did a technique on was a very large guy and he expressed a lot of discomfort when Larry did a lock on him. This didn't stand out to me too much until with maybe an hour left to go in the training, Larry demonstrates a movement (not at all related to handcuffing and last I checked that was what this course was-not self-defense-not wrist take downs) by having me go in for a handshake, he does the lock using my right wrist, takes me to the ground, is yelling at me, and stands on my hair as I am shouting for him to stop because a tap out would not suffice and I couldn't really move. This was witnessed by Charles and Ricardo the guards I did my class with-they seemed really weird-ed out by it too. At the time, his staff was running errands and were not present-they had been gone at least an hour. I was shocked and annoyed at the lack of self-awareness on his part as a martial artist. I was visibly upset the remainder of the class. He checked my wrist out and I told him he used too much force, which he said, something like to you it may have felt that way. He tried to apologize a few times. I felt uncomfortable the remainder of the training. As he was completing my cert card he apologized again, which I told him I was annoyed it happened and told him the technique was completely unnecessary in the overall scope of the course (which he at least agreed with), I also mentioned it seemed "showy" because, in my opinion, he was trying often to show off. As we were nearing the end of our training a guy was in trying to return a baton he had purchased from Security 6, I found that unusual, he had complained that the product was not new? The class was affordable but given the things that occurred and my overall impression of Larry, I won't be back to do a guard card class and I wouldn't recommend this facility to any women I know. I didn't have any problems with his office staff, they were both nice on the phone, I can see how people might take Annette's demeanor the wrong way. read more

Without a doubt, one of the best classes I've ever taken in gun safety. Larry and Annette were absolutely spectacular, covered all the bases, had incredible stories, but most of taught about all aspects of being a responsible gun owner. I am recommending this class to all my friends and family. Thank you! read more

As the CEO of Shield One Security Services, Inc. I'm appalled by the negative review sent by Mr. Dan S. Shield One Security has been sending our officers for more than two years to Security Six Training and I have not received one negative comment from anyone of my officers. The Owner Larry Hamby is highly trained and experienced in the field of law enforcement/Security. He was also featured on MythBusters for the fastest draw live on TV. I have the utmost respect for Larry and his staff. My message to Security Six: Keep up your hard work and passion. You will always get knuckleheads that will try to bring you down. read more

I just spent 8 hours of training for my CCW with Larry at Security Six. I don't think that you could find an instructor that knows more about guns and techniques on defending yourself on this planet. Larry is so knowledgeable and has a amazing way of keeping you engaged for the entire day. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for their CCW training to call Larry at Security Six. read more

Larry and his team are amazing. I live almost three hours away from his office and drive past other agencies to get to them because they are so helpful. I always get a quick response to my questions and they all go above and beyond to make me feel like I am their only client. read more

I just completed a 2 day course firearms (BSIS Exposed Carry, fingerprints and range qualification). I'm retired LE and needed to renew my expired BSIS card. I appreciated the centralized downtown location and nearby nearly free parking! Scheduling was super easy; walk in's are allowed. While portions of the course were refresher for me, I appreciated all the information Larry and his staff provided. The office is run professionally. The stories Larry told made the class pay attention and focus on the course material. Larry is extremely knowledgeable regarding guns, gun safety, laws, principles of training and evaluating the needs of his students. This played out in the classroom and at the actual simulator. He is motivated to ensure you not only learn, but that you also pass your training. I will be back to recertify and when I renew other certificates I hold. One thing I recommend is that the office work to minimize the occasional lobby distractions. Regardless, I will be back! read more

Larry and Annette are awesome people. I love doing my training with them I learn so much and Larry is very thorough! My training on Friday was amazing learned so much in my Baton class! read more

I've been in the Security Industry for 25+ years, I have worked every facet of the industry. From standing post, Supervisor, Site Supervisor, to EP Specialist. I am currently an Executive VP/Supervisor/Agent with ISC, I am also the graveyard patrol supervisor with another well known company in the South Bay. At ISC we send all of our SO's to Security Six for any and all training. The only regret I have is not learning of Lightning Larry Hamby 25+ years ago when I began. I have received all of my permits up to Exposed Carry (all Calibers) thru Security Six. Larry is one of the most knowledgeable firearms instructors I have ever had the honor of learning from. His knowledge of firearms, the law pertaining to firearms, not to mention the accuracy instruction of said firearms is all encompassing (I improved with just one or two pointers during my practice session that I only missed 2 for the test). I have yet to be able to ask him a question he doesn't know the answer to. As an instructor in the past I have also encouraged students to learning from each other and give each other input, Larry does this perfectly. He keeps it light, yet serious at the same time. Larry also encourages discussion during class that is beneficial to everyone paying attention. Larry's intellectually dry sense of humor makes learning fun and enjoyable, he explains things in such laymen terms that anyone with common sense and virtually no firearms experience can understand. His patients with those students that don't belong in this industry is commendable and impressive, shows why he is so sought after by some many in the industry. Anette and Leticia Are extremely helpful with all paperwork. The Firearms Training industry could do no worse then use Security Six as an example that other Firearm Training organizations should aim for..... **NOTE: Do yourself a favor and ignore the few negative reviews. They were posted by people that shouldn't be in the Security industry to begin with. They are unprofessional and bogus** Thank you Larry, Annette, Leticia keep up the phenomenal job read more
