Crucible Consulting with Daniel Bales as your instructor is TOP NOTCH! I had Daniel as an…read moreinstructor five years ago when I obtained my CCW permit for the first time. I absolutely loved my experience back then. Little did I know that not all classes are the same. I had no idea how much I would come to appreciate the experience I had learning from Daniel all those years ago. I was up for renewal and also have a friend that was looking to get her permit for the first time. I decided to take a class with her so she had someone with her to share the experience. We tried a local business by signing up for a First Time Gun Owner class to build her confidence. That was a HUGE mistake. That experience came close to talking her right out of wanting to continue the course of gun ownership or her CCW permit. I promised her that Daniel was a great instructor. He is very thorough, patient and kind. He helps you understand why it is important to do things correctly and safely and gives you confidence to keep trying until you finally get it. He lets you know that it's okay to not be perfect and the importance of practice, practice, practice to help you get better and better at things. People may think that they will go somewhere else because it is cheaper. All I can say, is you get what you pay for. You cannot go wrong taking a class with Daniel and the other instructors at Crucible Consulting. He makes the eight hours fly with all of the great information but also making it fun. Don't tell him, but he's pretty funny, too. I promise you, you will be happy you took this class with Crucible Consulting and Daniel Bales. I felt the need to share this positive review because of the negative experience I had somewhere else. I want everyone that reads reviews to know that you should not go anywhere else besides Crucible Consulting. They are truly the BEST.

Did some more business with Mike recently... he now can get some things from PSA at an extra…read morediscount and he still has all his other distributor connections, so I have found I can usually get the best price from him, which is great because I like to buy local. I just call him first or send him an email with what I am interested in and he gets back to me with a quote. Main reason I do business with him though is that he is a first rate human being and all around good guy. He is a fellow veteran. He goes out of his way to help on everything I have asked for help on. I recommend him whole-heartedly, he is one of the best businesses I have ever worked with.

Mike was great to deal with, and he has a great inventory of guns for the first-time buyer, hunting…read moreenthusiast, or anyone looking for several options for a good carry gun. Since the business is a home-based FFL it's a little bit out of the way from Reno, but the process of buying a gun was simple and straightforward and worth the drive. Mike even went to the trouble of meeting me in town to finish a sale since we had to wait until the next day for a NICS background check. If you ever have any questions or want to check out some firearms, I would strongly recommend using Big Valley for your purchases. Helping out your local small business is always a much better option than going to big box stores like Cabela's or Sportsman's, and Mike does a pretty darn good job at matching even some of the best prices out there. You can often catch him at the local gun shows as well if you're ever curious about what he has available without having to drive to him. Keep an eye out for Big Valley any time you're thinking about buying a firearms. Thanks, Mike!

I am no expert in firearms but they seem to be and have access to a computer software with the retail price if you are selling and give you 70% of that. Whether that is standard I have no idea but they seem to know what they are doing. If I wanted to buy a gun I would definitely go there because I am not an expert.

This was the first time my wife had attended a CCW class so she was a bit nervous at first but very at ease within a short time. There were a couple other ladies in the class also and all seemed to be at ease once things got going. Did have to travel to an offsite range (about 10 min.) for the live fire qualification but no big deal. Range was crowded with a wait line when we got there but the counter guy recognized Kirk and gave him two lanes right away. We were all in and out in a very short time. Emails and phone calls with Keith prior to class were informative. All questions answered. No pressure sales. All in All... Great Experience. Highly recommend.

The fabulous Ms. Mary made the class fun and quick, while still ensuring a highly educational class.

The facility was really nice as well, comfortable, clean and stylish, and I really appreciated the snack and beverage offerings. I will gladly recommend less stress ems to anyone I know needing a CPR certification!
