Just finished my CC classes with Mr. Marc and I have to say, this was a great experience. I really…read moreenjoyed every moment of these classes and I'm very happy that I chose this place. My wife also did the CC with Mr. Marc and she was as pleased as I am. Mr. Marc, not only that he's a very knowledgeable person considering that he is an an ex army and law enforcement officer, but he also knows how to make the classes fun, making jokes all the time and keeping a very friendly atmosphere. I really enjoyed that he put so much accent on SAFETY, all the time. Also when it comes about THE LAW ( which is very important vhen it comes about carrying) , this gentleman knows it by heart, that's how good he is. Mrs. Connie, same like Mr. Marc, is a wonderful person, super friendly and helpful, who will help you with whatever she can , along with this process. I give 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to do their CC. Thank you for all your help, Mr. Marc and Mrs. Connie. Nicolae Moldovan

Do not use this guy. He proceeded to tell me I cannot own a rifle at 19 with an active foid and…read morerefused to give me my shotgun until a lot of back and forth. Didn't even apologize for being wrong and a dick. For someone selling firearms you should know the law and not be a rude idiot but what do I know. To respond to your post, the rifle was a Barrett a300, that is state compliant and the only issue was arrogance and my age. I was already done with my background check and 3day waiting period but thanks OHHH AND ALSO HES A LIAR. I was able to take home the shotgun the next day after he "talked to his buddy to make sure it was legal" and the shotgun is in my name

I've been using [Instructor's Name] for my CCL renewals for years, and I couldn't recommend him…read moremore highly. I was actually one of his original students, and it's been great to see how consistently professional and dedicated he has remained over the years. He is extremely knowledgeable and does an excellent job explaining not just the legal requirements, but also the practical, real-life situations that responsible concealed carry holders may face. His instruction is clear, informative, and grounded in real-world experience, which makes the classes both engaging and very valuable. If you're looking for a concealed carry instructor who truly understands the responsibility of carrying and takes the time to prepare his students properly, he is an outstanding choice. I'll certainly continue using his services for my renewals in the years ahead.

The weekend Alpha Koncepts concealed carry class was extremely well taught. Thomas is truly an…read moreexpert in his field. He presented the curriculum in a way that made the class flow naturally and kept everyone engaged. He made the material interesting by sharing real-life experiences from both his students and his own life. He also has a great sense of humor, which made the long weekend enjoyable. Thomas thoroughly prepared us with the knowledge necessary to legally conceal and carry in Illinois. He did an excellent job getting us ready for the shooting qualification, including proper holster draws and safe firearm handling. I hadn't shot a firearm in years, and my wife had never shot one before -- yet we both passed. As long as you follow directions and prioritize safety at both the range and in the classroom, anyone can succeed. I researched multiple concealed carry classes in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, and Alpha Koncepts was by far the highest rated. Thomas has been teaching concealed carry classes since it became legal in Illinois, and his experience shows. If you're serious about taking a concealed carry class, I highly recommend Alpha Koncepts. Thomas is not only a great instructor, but a genuinely great person as well.

During class time there were multiple opportunities to handle different caliber pistols, practice with laser guns and get feedback on proper grasp, stance, etc. Second half of class was at the range with shooting practice and feedback on everything we'd learned. Overall I left feeling accomplished and confident I could return to a range on my own to continue practice. A+

Class is interactive and filled with great discussion. His approach is firm in areas of defending your life and firearms safety but with a sense of humor and openness to any question. In the noise and clatter of the firing range, he still manages to convey extremely valuable instruction and learning. I will soon be taking two more of his self-defense courses. Highly recommended!

Our class consisted of people from ALL backgrounds and ages...from novice to experienced and everything in between. Myself being older, highly skilled and experienced, I liked how no question was ever overlooked or undervalued by our instructors vast knowledge from those with less knowledge. The highlight of the 2 day CCL class for me was range qualification. It was relaxed, yet structured and everyone was at ease and safe. As is most things in life, the more you put in...the more you'll get out of the overall experience. Although instructor Don could have droned on and on doing ALL the reading, he wisely chose all the class members to read aloud. This was helpful to the entire class and especially the shy students who would've just sat back letting their classmates carry the class. My experience was quite satisfying and highly productive. Instructors Don and TC are dedicated to teaching students well and it shows in their actions.

I had taken a few years off from shooting. But I got the itch again and shook off the dust at another range. Recently decided to start shopping for another firearm. I stopped by Maxon's as they had the 3 handguns in stock that I've been considering. While I did not purchase anything, Luis was extremely helpful, and knew his stuff. He was super friendly and patient with me as well. I really appreciated his relaxed, friendly attitude. Something you don't find too often in this scene. Their prices are a little high, but I think the employees make it worth it. I'll be back to use their range, and post an update if there are any issues. Minus 1 star for the price of their CC qualification target. $3. Ouch. The other range I go to in East Dundee sells them for ¢75.
