Ronin Sports and Gabriel Nicoletti are the ABSOLUTE best and UNPARALLELED in the business for firearms safety training and overall proper/perfect use of firearms training. I booked the CFSC/CRFSC course on Ronin Sports fabulous website on the first of February and chose the VIP option; within a couple of days Gabriel contacted me and offered me a spot on the SAT/SUN class. Met a great group of people in the class, all from a variety of backgrounds; some hunters, law enforcement students, and hobbyists. Gabriel made us all feel very welcome and started the class with a very special charisma, a charisma that captures your mind and makes you want to learn more. Going through the course I learned so many crucial things I did not know before about handling firearms, furthermore Gabriel took a lot of time and effort to correct my misconceptions and technique. As someone who was successful in passing the two day course some things I would recommend to prospective students: please come a little early to class (DON'T BE LATE), bring pen and notebook, be respectful, and LISTEN to Gabriel's every word. GO WITH RONIN SPORTS AND GET THE EDJE!! read more

Needless to say I was excited to take the course. I waited almost a year while we went through all the lockdowns and restrictions until finally the weekend came. The only thing I was worried about was it was 2 very long days and it's been a really long time since I've been in a classroom. It's a lot of information and it is important to pay attention as to not miss anything. We were very fortunate to have Gabriel as our instructor because well I don't think anyone could have done a better job. He was funny keeping it entertaining but totally straight to the point and serious as hell when it came to operating the firearms as he should be and I thank him for that. Not only did he have the knowledge but he has more experience with every aspect of firearms you could ever ask for. Not only that but the guys a serious badass. Might as well call him Rambo. We learned so much (my sister and I) and we just want to thank Ronin Sports and Gabriel again for giving us the knowledge to operate and store firearms safely and efficiently. I'll definitely be back for some lessons in the future! read more

I received my Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) training from Gabriel Nicoletti of Ronin Sports. He's a top shelf instructor who is passionate and totally committed to firearms safety. The energy he displays in class is likely unmatchable. He has, in the past, provided first class security protection to a number of celebrities. However, after having been through two courses with Gabriel, it was clear to everyone in the class that we were all lucky to be in the presence of a bit of celebrity as well. Throughout the course, he always found a way to strike a fine balance between being hard-nosed and tough, as well as keeping it light, humorous, entertaining, informative and personable. I strongly urge anyone to try to book firearms classes or private training with Ronin Sports. read more

I really enjoyed this two days CFSC/CRFSC classes. For being completely ZERO with guns I was able to pass the test with over 90% results! Gabriel is an amazing teacher - the most difficult and confusing information was presented in such easy and fun way that your brain was just absorbing it like a sponge!!! All his real life stories and jokes during these two long days made them passing so fast and very interesting. His energy and passion really kept the sessions with high level of productions. I recommend this class with 5 stars ( even with 10 starts if possible)rating as to find the teacher who will keep you awake and fully engaged in 10 hours class is very difficult and Gabriel did it! Amazing class with good value and good knowledge about guns! read more

Many places offer the same course. You however will not gain the same experience somewhere else. Gabriel does not only teach you the firearm safety course, but most importantly he also teaches you how to practically handle the firearms from multiple angles. The angles from his experiences as a competition shooter himself, as a professional trainer to military and law enforcement staffs, and as an elite level personal security guard. Not only he teach you the knowledge, he forges the habit! Be careful what you do in the class because he is dead serious about the firearm safety! But he is also fun to communicate with. Good luck to the fellow students in the future classes! I am sure you will get many Nicoletti Nuggets! read more

!!! WOW !!! What an experience ! Gabriel is knowledgeable, experienced, and enthusiastic in all he does. He is tough but fair. Strict but caring. He stresses the importance of SAFETY and drives it home from the start. He is a perfectionist and in firearms safety training you need to be perfect ! Classes are long but he has you engaged the entire time. Not an easy accomplishment. There are things I learned during his sessions where I will always think of him and hear his voice when handling a firearm. If you're thinking of acquiring your PAL/RPAL then Gabriel and Ronin Sports is the place to do it. He will make you 'strive for excellence in everything you do.' A Master of his craft ! read more

I successfully finished CFSC/CRFSC class with RONIN Sports and Gabriel Nicoletti as an instructor on 14-15AUG21. It was amazing class and two days full of useful theory, practice and fun.

I would like to thank RONIN Sports and Gabriel personally for such a professional approach and high level of safety. I can definitely recommend Gabriel and RONIN Sports for everyone who want to complete CFSC/CRFSC class and get guaranteed result. read more

Who would think that you could cozy up to something as, dare I say, 'dangerous" as firearms? With his professionalism and leadership, Gabriel Nicoletti took all the danger out of the non-restricted and restricted firearms courses that my husband and I took with him. With his passion and enthusiasm we became quickly entranced in the sport of target shooting! We felt completely at ease and full of knowledge after two intensive days. Thank you Gabriel for all your additional tidbits of wisdom. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wishes to handle firearms in any capacity, and if you want the best teacher out there, be sure to book with Gabriel! read more

Mixing his years of experience and knowledge for a fun and welcoming but serious environment. I left with great set of safe habits to build on. read more

Just took my Canadian Firearms Safety courses with Gabriel and I'm definitely happy I made the trip to do this with Ronin Sports. The facility was great, and Gabriel was amazing.

Can't wait to purchase my firearms and do more training with Gabriel... THANK YOU! read more

In just four days, I've learned so much and built real confidence with firearms. I would definitely recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and skilled instructor.

He communicates and demonstrates in an easy to understand way and I would recommend his instruction to anyone looking to improve their firearms skills. read more

Took CFSC and CRFSC with Mr. Nicoletti. He is a knowledgeable and passionate instructor who doesn't only walk you through the required content but also teaches you the best way of thinking that you never find in the handbook. He also has a good sense of humour so I never felt bored in the classroom. The two-day course is intense but you'll never regret taking it if you're into firearms! It's definitely worth your dollars and hours here. read more

Excellent CFSC/CRFSC training program. You might say, the course was "easy", simply because Gabriel is a very engaging instructor. A plethora of, real world scenarios and common sense approach make it easy to follow. Most of all if you don't understand or appreciate what "Safety" is going in - you sure as hell will coming out of the course. Can't wait to book a live training session at a Range. read more
