One of the best decisions I made regarding custom fitting for a handgun was to choose Jim Benoit as my personal instructor. Getting older (YUK), your eyes get weaker, your hands get a little less flexible. Jim's first mission during our "private" lessons was to equip me comfortably so I could on to the next steps of training to acquire the ability to react consistently and to efficiently get the gun into the fight, to stop a threat in a worst-case scenario. I enjoyed tremendously the "Practical Defensive Pistol" class. This first group training session drove home that a handgun is just a tool. The ability to react consistently and to efficiently get the gun into the fight, to stop a threat in a worst-case scenario takes training. Based on the body's natural reaction to a threat, is a reality-based approach that is easy to understand, practice, and apply. Jim has certainly started me on this path to achieve these goals.

Been working with Cajun Arms now for several years. Have taken several Defensive Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun classes. Great classes matched with equally great instructors. They are always looking to challenge students while making sure everyone is having a fun and safe time in class. Cajun Arms is great for civilians looking to get some real world home defensive training. I have also purchased several firearms and have never been disappointed. Excellent and knowledgeable staff that is truly looking out for their customers, and looking to offer the most value for their services. read more

I just finished my second class with Jim (defensive carry 0.5). This is an investment in time and Jim demands attention and focus. Bad habits are identified early so people have the opportunity to improve early and improve their skills fast. In my view, if you pay attention and focus you will see huge difference soon. Jim's classes are must for new gun owners but seasoned shooters can benefit as well. I look forward to my next class read more

I had to get the trigger on my M&P Shield replaced so I went with the Monarch Shield Trigger, I contacted Jim Benoit to get the work done and he didn't disappoint, he had to make a couple modifications and still had it back to me within the week! Love the feel of the gun now and can't wait to get it to the range tomorrow, I highly recommend Cajun Arms for repairs and purchases, thanks Jim! read more

I've taken 2 classes with Jim from Cajun Arms and my Wife has also taken a class with him. Jim is very knowledgeable and friendly with a strong focus on safety.

Couldn't recommend Cajun Arms enough! Thanks again! read more

I had a great time with my instructor Jim at Cajun Arm's rifle intro training. I was 15minutes late and he waited on me. As a first time shooter I had a lot of questions and was very nervous. He put me, and others, at ease with humor and thorough responses to All questions. I plan on going back for follow up training and fire accessories, ammo, and firearms. read more

Over priced weapons. Sold me a weapon under the impression it was a rare gun and I learned that online people are selling the same make and model for about $450 cheaper. Thanks a lot Jim what a good guy to take advantage of someone with less knowledge on the topic of guns. read more
