I'm still pretty new when it comes to guns. I bought a revolver a couple years ago with every…read moreintention of using it... and then I put it in my gun safe where it basically became a very expensive paperweight for two years. I finally decided it was time to stop being nervous and actually go to the range. After reading the reviews, I decided to check this place out, and I'm really glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I told them it was my first time at the range, and they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and help me get set up. That made a huge difference because walking into a range as a newbie can feel a little intimidating. Once I got to my lane, I was only there for about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed every minute of it. My confidence definitely grew, and I left feeling way more comfortable than when I walked in. Overall, great first experience. Friendly staff, helpful guidance, and a welcoming environment for beginners. I'm looking forward to coming back for more practice -- and this time, I promise I won't wait another two years.

We all know, purchases / transfers in California are difficult and wrought with bureaucracy & nonsense. This shop, makes it simple and easy for you to get it done. In addition, they have a very nice indoor range with a VERY wide multitude of rental firearms. Aside from the good customer service & cool indoor range, they had an incredibly wide variety of stock for sale. I noticed they had VERY fair prices, like some firearms were easily $100-125 less a piece than the FUDD gun shops here in (510) Alameda County. I would say the top highlight of this gun shop was the lack of FUDD. I experienced & saw / heard zero FUDD nonsense. Just straight up good, solid, friendly customer service & plenty of great products to choose from. It's also noteworthy that they had a really good inventory of ammo for reasonable pricing. I'll definitely be spending some more money here. Keep it up guys!!

Great experience and I left his training classes feeling very comfortable with using, operating, storing, and maintaining my home defense firearms. In his training program, he also covers information pertaining to the legal aspects of owning & operating firearms.

You can find him through Baxter Firearms Training, but I found him through Always B Training .

I highly recommend Nick and NSP Firearms for anyone looking for quality firearms instruction. I…read moretook Nick's 16-hour CCW course over two days, and he did an excellent job keeping the class engaging and the material interesting throughout. What stood out most was Nick's ability to teach to a wide range of experience levels. He addressed topics in depth for students with more firearms experience, while also clearly distilling the most important points, especially around safety, for those who were newer or less experienced. He was approachable, easy to ask questions, and created a learning environment that was both serious and comfortable. By the end of the course, I felt like Nick had not only covered the required material thoroughly, but also set us up for success beyond the class itself. I would absolutely recommend Nick and NSP Firearms to anyone looking for professional, practical, and thoughtful firearms instruction.

I was excited to find out that there was a company in California that did firearm training with…read moresimunitions. I signed up immediately and was able to get in the next training session. On the morning of the class after everyone signed in and safety equipment was handed out. We went down to the range to practice some holster and live fire drills. As someone whom has taken firearm training in the past I felt this to be a little redundant. However it did allow to gauge the firearm skills of the other students that you would be shooting against. Once all the firearms were converted to shoot simunitions. We went right to running through scenarios force on force, to shoot or not shoot. After each scenario the instructors worked through them discussing all the actions that occurred. After lunch we started in the Shoot House. Where we ran through several more intense scenarios. The class was fast passed and very little down time. At the end of the day I enjoyed the class and learned several things that can use every day. I am interested in taking more classes from Train To Survive Tactical maybe a carbine class next time.

I was referred to Paul & Precision Edge Firearms Training by a co-worker for my CCW training…read more From my initial contact to the end of my CCW course, Paul was professional, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. I live in Sac County and had to take the 16 hour course - Paul covered more material than was required and explained things in a way that I understood. He took the time to go over my questions until I had a complete understanding. I was very nervous about qualifying. I had one gun I was familiar with and had shot before and another that I just acquired and had never shot. Paul had a way about him that made me feel at ease out on the range. He was very positive and supportive. He made running through the drills fun - which really helped me relax and be ready to qualify. Thanks to Paul & Precision edge Firearms Training I passed the qualifications for both guns.

My pistol knowledge was already up to par concerning the level of this class, but I attended the…read moreBasic Pistol Course because it is a prerequisite for other NRA classes. Paul is very friendly, did a great job, and provided a welcoming environment. He was very focused on safety, and reinforcing the five basic handgun rules. There were plenty of material to take home which included a Basic Pistol Handbook that makes a great quick reference for anything from safety, how to handle a pistol to cleaning and storing handguns and ammunition. Even though I was the only one to attend the class that day, Paul decided to go through with it anyway, rather than rescheduling it. I was please with that, because it gave me a one on one instruction and allowed him to spend more time with me at the range for the qualification portion of the class.
