Student Testimonials
Just wanted to say thank you for
a good information class. I am glad you major on safety.
I have carried for over forty years and had some training
with a handgun. You have taught me so much more. Thanks….Joe
Tanner
My dad and I took your Basic Pistol
and Concealed Carry classes at the beginning of this year.The
pistol classes really kicked ass! I feel like I learned
something extremely valuable. Something that could save
my life some day.
Jonathan Townley

The class this weekend was awesome.
I have been shooting for 40 years and the disciplines and
techniques you taught in the Fighting Handgun caused me
to rethink and dedicate my future practice to your Firearmz
training mindset.
I would recommend the program to
anyone and everyone using a handgun...
Good Training,
Tim Ard
The Firearmz Classes I have taken
are absolutely hands down the best gun money I have ever
spent.

Anthony Cappuccio: Very good class. Definitely helped
me improve my shooting skills. The trigger bar targets were
extremely helpful as was being timed with the chronograph.
This was TOP QUALITY instruction.
From Dave: Thanks again for
the class yesterday. I had more fun then I had more fun
than I probably should have and I no doubt learned a lot.
I feel like I know a little now. I've still got to practice
all that stuff. Things I liked about the class. During the
first classroom session you mentioned briefly about dominate
eye and stance. I had known for a while that my left eye
was the bully, but I never thought to change my stance to
make it happy. I had just always shot in some sort of weaver
style stance and moved my head over so I could use my left
eye. Now I'm sure I wasn't doing the isosceles text book
perfect but I did notice using that stance was a hell of
a lot more comfortable for me.
I enjoyed the multiple targets and
the movement. I can't do all that by going to an indoor
range once a week. I do think my favorite exercise was engaging
the target while being charged. I think I did more malfunction
drills than I'll ever have to do in my life. Which of course
is a good thing. I've never really had to do one with my
glock so the first time we were doing the drill I pulled
the trigger. it didn't go bang I dropped the mag. Even though
my brain was telling me to do the drill my thumb did what
it was used to doing thinking it was time to reload. Oh
and then we get to the trigger pull. This is what I'll be
practicing tomorrow at the range. I am determined to get
that reset down. Never really could get the hang of that
at the class. Too many bad habits to break. But that is
something I can work on here and at the indoor range. Then
of course, the up close shooting was a hell of a lot of
fun. First time I had ever shot at a target that close....and
that close to my own body. I would have liked to see more
multiple target exercises. Some moving targets too. Though
maybe that comes with the more advanced classes.
Thanks
Dave
