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. My family and I took his Home Safety Defense classes and learned so much through his classes. I highly recommend Mike Baxter. You can find him through Baxter Firearms Training, but I found him through Always B Training .

I offer special classes for women, using materials designed by women. These classes help those who want to avoid the traditionally male dominated presentations and focus on issues they may face differently. I recognize that every student is different and comes with a unique history that influences their confidence level, and learning style. I work to identify your learning style so I can help you develop the skills that build your confidence! Classes range from basic marksmanship to defensive shooting classes, including Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) certification for Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo and Yuba counties.

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 had the pleasure of meeting Ralph, and I can honestly say he is an exceptionally knowledgeable,…read morereliable, and trustworthy FFL professional. He has decades of experience in the industry, truly knows his business, and is extremely knowledgeable about firearms, laws, regulations, and restrictions. What impressed me most is that Ralph genuinely loves what he does. He is very generous with his time and expertise, teaches shooting effectively, and provides professional services with a level of care that is hard to find. He is not focused on making money--he keeps his prices very reasonable and always tries to help his customers as much as possible. Ralph takes the law and compliance very seriously, and I really appreciate how professional and responsible he is. His service is excellent, and he goes above and beyond for his customers. He also works with professionals and public safety personnel, which speaks to the level of trust and experience he has earned. I would absolutely recommend Ralph to my friends and anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable FFL. I would definitely reach out to him again if I ever need his services. Honestly, I wish I could give him more than five stars. He deserves 10 stars for going above and beyond!

The shotgun was in good order but the handgun had been taken down and was missing its guide-rod and one of the two magazines. Those were easily replaced by me. My issue with Ralph is now closed but I cannot recommend him. Ralph didn't do his job but instead initiated an unfortunate series of events that cost me time, money, and energy.

What used to be awesome is now just a money making business with no emphasis on education or proper training. Will avoid going to Spartan/Fidel and I will suggest others to do the same. Don't be fooled by bunch of various course offerings, not worth the price at all.

The class met at a round table pizza in one of their side party rooms, and there was only two of us in the class, again what should I expect for such a great price? Morgan was on time and very friendly, and got everything set up. The material covered and instruction given was very casual but thorough. Unlike many renewal classes with other companies, Morgan didn't have a cocky tough guy know it all attitude which made the class enjoyable. The amount of information and material he covered was great, and it took the entire class time. A bonus to meeting at Round Table was the lunch, which he paid for as part of the class so that was unexpected and nice. We met a separate day at the range to qualify with each handgun and he booked it so our time was 1-on-1 which I really appreciated. Again, he was extremely knowledgeable and safe, but still didn't give off that cocky know it all taught guy vibe. The instruction he gave, tips and guidance to improve grip, stance and other areas was extremely helpful. I have already recommended his class to multiple friends and I will definitely book with him again at my next renewal.
