The 'Certified MA Firearms Safety' class was FULL of useful information for a beginner, like…read moremyself, but also could serve as a refresher course for those who have more experience. Daniel had a deep knowledge, and passion, for the topics discussed and he encouraged open discussion/Q&A which kept the class seemingly effortless. The process of pursuing an LTC for the first time (or ownership of any firearm) can very well be an intimidating process initially and courses can be stuffy/awkward but Daniel really helped one to digest the very serious topics, responsibilities and laws of gun ownership through engaging conversation, an open dialogue and a wonderful presentation. I'd certainly recommend New England Firearms for anyone, at whatever phase, while pursuing fire arm ownership in MA.

I've been a customer since they first opened, and the experience has been consistently outstanding. The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable--not just about firearms, but also Massachusetts laws, surrounding ranges, and any questions you might have as a new or experienced shooter. They go out of their way to make sure everything they do is completely Massachusetts law compliant, and they genuinely care about educating their customers. Whether it's explaining the LTC process or talking through your Second Amendment rights, they always take the time to make sure you understand everything clearly. One thing that really stands out is their inventory and customer service. Most of the time they have exactly what you're looking for in stock, and if they don't, they're quick to find a solution and get it ordered with a very reasonable turnaround time. They make the process easy and transparent. The shop itself is welcoming and comfortable. Even if you walk in just to ask questions and don't end up buying anything that day, they still make sure you leave with knowledge and confidence. There's never any pressure--just a genuine willingness to help whenever you're ready. Chris, the owner, deserves special recognition. He's a stand-up guy, a former service member, a family man, and just an all-around good human being. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and the community he's building around the shop. And sometimes you'll even be greeted by the beautiful Belgian Malinois who is incredibly sweet--but also clearly well-trained for protection! I'm genuinely grateful to have such an amazing shop nearby for anything we might need. I recommend CSGI to everyone I know. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

I recently attended the NRA Basic Pistol Safety Class. This…read morewas an excellent training class. The owner/ instructor Mike Caggiano is very knowledgeable and professional and did an excellent job presenting the material. The class sizes are small compared to other training facilities. Max of 5 students. So it's a comfortable learning environment (not rushed) with plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Perfect for people with no previous knowledge or exposure to fire arms or more advanced students. In addition to the classroom instruction, this course also includes live fire training, which takes place on a different day. This is a great experience as you will receive hands on training from Mike and the opportunity to fire several different pistols. Again, this a very comfortable learning experience. If you're questioning yourself whether or not you can do this course, or just looking for the right place. Look no further, you can do this.

Their firearm safety course is extremely reasonable in price and is conveniently located in Beverly at the Cummings Center. Our instructors were Mike Pelonzi and Cory Daras. Mike has had several years under his belt in law enforcement experience and training. Cory Daras is a trained nurse, nurse educator and a Marine Veteran. She brings her passion for caring for others to a personalized gun safety course. Both Mike and Cory, with their sense of humor, delivered an exceptional firearm safety class. Mike and Cory are extremely passionate about firearm safety, public safety and very knowledgeable about past and current gun laws. Cory ensures that after you take her class you walk out with insight on personal safety, and situational awareness options to protect yourself and loved ones from potential threats. Mike and Cory's class was by far the best firearm safety training I have ever received. I look forward to going back to them for future firearms training as well as first aid and CPR training that the academy also provides. If you choose Safety Academy USA you will not be disappointed!
