Maggie and Ken are excellent trainers. They are patient, safe, and knowledgeable. They scale your experience based on your level of ability and do a great job of making sure everyone comes away with an improvement of skills and a plan for the future. My wife and I have taken their certification course, intro to self defense course, and fundamentals of home defense course. All were great and we are doing a fundamentals of concealed carry training next. They also have a low-light course now that sounds helpful. read more

Maggie and Ken were great. My husband used them previously and we decided to do our renewal class with them. They're very educated and skilled. Reading some of the reviews is actually shocking. You need people who know the ins and outs of the law and are confident, skilled and educated, which they are. As for the products they are "selling," they are products that are needed. I can say that I'm extremely happy they told us about some of the things that as a responsible gun owner, I should be aware of! The class wasn't boring. I remember in my first CCW class I was bored and wanted to fall asleep. They kept me engaged and I was really loving listening to what they were teaching. I found the information very helpful and useful. One thing they mentioned is they will build a class around your needs/schedule if there is a good enough need, which is great to know. They were really easy to work with and I appreciate their flexibility. I would highly recommend them and look forward to furthering my gun skills and confidence with them. read more

The whole class was amazing the trainers made sure I know everything I need to know now about holding my firearm.

Amazing instructor who is more than glad to take the time needed so your well informed and educated from the basics to the advanced in gun ownership. read more

I just finished a second class with Maggie and her husband, Ken. Both are very professional with safety always first. Both are extremely knowledgeable and love what they do. I'll be taking more classes from them in the future. read more

By far the best training for beginners and seasoned shooters. Both Maggie and Ken and their staff present in a very laid back, comfortable and no stress fashion. Their ongoing desire to learn themselves then pass that on to their students is amazing. They accept and welcome feedback and encourage active participation and dialogue during class. I will be furthering my weapon knowledge and proficiency with their company in the future. read more

Just like other reviews have said. Maggie is rude and likes to argue with people when she isn't given a five star review. She texted me to try to gas light me after I left a Google review. I had to block her because she wanted/needed to have the last word. I called with some questions after purchasing a new fire arm after not having fire arms for over 20 years. Maggie immediately became aggressive and condescending after I told her I purchased Bodyguard. I am former law enforcement. She has no clue as to what self defense training I have , what belts I hold, what titles I have. She was arrogant and tried to tell me about self defense. Please, you don't know what I am capable of! I just wanted some extra training to get some of my firearm confidence back after being away from it as a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER! You should see her reply on the Google review. That will give you a flavor of what she is like. I highly recommend finding another company. I can't wait to see what crazy diatribe she writes to this review! read more

This review is based on having taken three classes with Maggie/Ken/HPP: - CCW - Introduction to Defensive Handgun - Fundamentals of Home Defense In all cases, Maggie, Ken, and their instructors have demonstrated a high level of experience and expertise with firearms, how to use them effectively, and even some of the legal ramifications that must be considered by those who've decided to keep/use firearms for defense. I'd like to especially note my experience in the Fundamentals of Home Defense Class, which included FOUR instructors for ten students: that's a pretty good instructor-to-learner ratio. Ken's assistant instructors deserve individual shout outs: Allen's police officer perspectives were frank and useful, as were Jay's teaching and physical demonstration of grips, stances, etc. Also, Charles seemed particularly suited to speaking to groups, presenting concepts, and being relatable. I especially found his skill in "tricking" me into falling for the simulated "Dynamic Critical Incident" to be highly effective. This simulation was my favorite part of the class. I look forward to my next class(es) with with HPP. read more

Not impressed with the class. Convoluted information on law topics. Important information was done in a joking matter with giving the worst answer and it wasn't clear to everyone that the instructor was joking. (1/3 of the room was English as a second language and the person with them was having to explain the correct information) This class has more product placement and advertising than Josie and the pussycats movie. Majority of the power point slide had product suggestions and products that heavily suggest purchasing. read more

Excellent, very thorough instructors. I feel much more confident having learned from them and will be back for more!

I have been training with firearms for over twenty years. I have at least six NRA Instructor certificates and have instructed Nevada and Utah CCW classes. In my opinion, the owners of HPP; Maggie Mordaunt, and Ken Ortega are two of the finest instructor's instructors you will ever be in a class with. HPP stays current with all national trends and innovative techniques. Their associations with Rob Pincus, I.C.E., PDN, CFS, and numerous other teaching formats keeps them at the top of all the programs available in the USA. Creative, functional and simply... fun. HPP continues to lead the field in firearms instruction. Great classroom environments... take a class. You'll never regret it! read more

OK training (there's better in town), but don't disagree (or write a bad review) or you will get the wrath of CCW Maggie. Unfortunate. I agree with a previous poster - a lot of pushing of various products that she sells. Almost as bad as Google Ads! read more

One of the best instructors in the Las Vegas area for ccw classes. Very patient and very professional. Multiple classes to choose from.

Maggie & her team are the best!!!! I took my CCW class with them and I can't say enough wonderful things about them!! I loved her so much that I signed up for 3 more classes, can't wait!! read more

LOVE MAGGIE and her husband Ken. Just recently took their CCW class. And taking another class with them on the 31st.. As a woman myself I feel it's awesome to learn from a woman! Plus it's totally impressive that Maggie is The only woman in the state of Nevada teaching all these variety of courses.!! read more

I took my CCW renewal class with Maggie and Ken and was very impressed. As a former DoS high threat protection firearms instructor myself, I highly recommend them for beginners, intermediate and advanced shooters.

If you're looking to renew your license or take a CCW class, Maggie is the one to go to. Very informative, fun, and an all around great instructor. I highly recommend Maggie to anyone wanting to learn more about CCW and self-defense. read more

What an amazing team Ken and Maggie are. Truly incredible teachers. Patient, attentive and thorough. They made me feel comfortable and took the time to make sure what hand gun was right for me. I was a nervous wreck at the beginning of class because it was my first time handling a gun. Under the watchful eye of both both Maggie and Ken along with their guidance and patience I started to feel comfortable. I highly recommend taking their courses. They have many to choose from. Packages are also available. Can't wait for the next course. Thank you Ken and Maggie. read more

Took the Fundamentals of Armed Home Defense class with HPP. They do a great job of structuring things for everyone from the novice to the seasoned gun person. I recommend this class for the preparation skills and feedback you will obtain from the professional and caring instructors they employ. read more

I just completed my 3rd CCW class with Maggie over the last 10 years. I've been shooting for over 40 years and have found her insight and instruction to be the best in the business and a great investment on safety and survival. Most Grateful, Paul Genick / Tactical Strength Coach read more
