Complete scam been waiting 5 months for a refund. Day of class ends up texting 15 mins later saying he was out of country.

Pierre was exceptionally patient and attentive, taking the time to guide me through the fundamentals of safe gun handling despite my complete beginner status. His clear explanations and encouraging teaching style made the learning process both enjoyable and easy to understand, even for someone with no prior shooting experience. I can't wait until my next lesson and to take my training for the RICCWQ! read more

P was very informative. Eyes like a hawk that caught all of our bad habits and he gave knowledgeable feedback to correct our mistakes. He kept everyone safe. Our confidence is through the roof after our classes at Salomon firearms. read more

My wife and I took the basic firearms training together and couldn't be happier. Our instructor Soloman was extremely thorough and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. The fact that you get to apply what you've learned at the range as part of the cost of the class was a bonus. We highly recommend taking this class. We'll be back for additional trainings. read more

If you never touched or even held a gun before, but are considering to apply for a gun license, Salomon Firearms Training is thorough and super informative company to start with. My father, sister and a friend all signed up for the course together. I took their "NRA Home Firearm Safety" 5- hour course. You end up with 2 Certifications once completed. It was worth every penny! Class instruction includes videos that clearly highlight the dangers and errors that can be made. We learned the proper & safe handling, checking, unloading and loading of a variety of guns, revolvers, semi-automatics, shotguns with dummy bullets. NO LIVE AMMO during class instruction = SAFETY. Pierre Salomon doesn't cut corners, doesn't mince words. He makes sure you understand the important responsibility that comes with handling guns and being a gun owner. You have to accept the good, bad and ugly that applies with guns. We had a full class (12 people) and it took a bit longer than 5 hours. It went fast. You LEARN what you need to know. Awesome service! During CoVid times, they practice clean, safe and caution. You must have a mask. They have plenty of hand sanitizer. The awesome thing about their safety course is that it includes going to the range after your class session. For those short with time, you can finish class instruction and arrange another date for range shooting. I was impressed. I highly recommend Salomon Firearm Training. If you are considering a gun license, START HERE! They also have plenty of other courses to expand your knowledge too. A+ read more

I met Mr. Salomon by chance last year when another instructor failed to contact me back. I signed up for the NRA Basic Pistol course after reading his very accomplished resume. This begun a great teacher/student relationship.  After experiencing his professionalism and safety-first attitude, not only did I take all the NRA Basic Level courses, but all Instructor-Level courses. Thanks to Mr. Salomon's instruction I've increased my firearm knowledge, become a much better shooter and have reinforced the safe-attitude mindset. As I have now began to offer my own NRA courses to students, I often draw upon much of the practical knowledge from Mr. Salomon's military experience and successful years as an NRA Training Counselor. It has been a pleasure to learn from and work with Mr. Salomon.  I hope he is able to continue to pursue his passion of firearm training, education and safe shooting paired with the NRA. read more

I don't know where to begin. This guy is bizarre! I had to take my shoes off to do my firearms training. He wanted me to use his AirPods to watch a video on his computer. He was eating during the entire time he was teaching the class. He was also picking at his feet and biting his finger nails. He wanted me to meet him at the range and he never showed up. I called him an hour later and he said that he was stuck in traffic. Never even a phone call! He fell asleep during an Instructor certification course that he was teaching, twice! When we did finally go to the range, never once, did he mention the importance of washing your hands after handling and firing firearms. It was such a bizarre and terrible experience. Thankfully, I had a firearms safety course with an excellent instructor prior to this horrible experience so I knew what having a competent instructor felt like. read more

I started off taken The Basic Firearm Safety Course to get my LTC with Pierre and I liked the class so much that I came back to take all of the Student courses. Pierre's background in the army , security and personal experiences proves that he is very knowledgeable when it comes to the use of firearms. All of his classes are very informative, Pierre really knows his stuff. He takes his time during class and makes sure everyone understands the information that is given. You definitely get your money's worth and them some! If you are looking to get your LTC or to get a higher level of learning about firearms(which I suggest you do), I STRONGLY recommend you take a course with Pierre ! read more

I had a great time learning at SFT. I've taken four courses in total. Pierre is a great teacher. He's very patient and thorough. He doesn't cut corners. He filled in many gaps I had in firearms knowledge. He puts safety first making sure that everyone is safe and maintains safe behavior while in the class and at the range. The atmosphere was professional but he was very personable. He helped me shoot better and helped relieve some anxiety I've had about my performance. Signing up for another class soon. read more

Greatest experience ever! The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and made it easy to ask questions for understanding. He was able to show us many examples... AKA his 'friends' of how things could go wrong. Or even right. He has a lot of friends! He brought the seriousness that I required in order to act responsibly as an individual licensed to carry. It's definitely a lot more than just having a pistol. The laws associated with MA and RI. He was able to access the information we need quickly. Matter of fact, I never heard him say he did not know. It helped me so much! I couldn't wait for the next class. His style of teaching made it fun. None the less, I ended up taking all the courses directly associated with firearms and firearm safety. Honestly, the best thing I could ever do. It was a great investment. When a topic of discussion would arise in the news we were sure to go over it, and how it could apply to or effect us. The laws of that state and left it up to us to determine the outcome. Often times we were wrong which led to learned information. At times playing the role of the jury. Salomons Firearms Training (SFT) has many programs that can fit for the individual and family. Which also allows us to meet up with other individuals whom are beginners, trainers, and advanced shooters. It was a great experience! I arrived tearful, sweating, and fearful of guns to comfortable and trying the different types to see what best suits me. The NEGATIVES/CONS hmmm ... Nothing! I had an awesome experience. read more

I certainly enjoyed the course. Pierre our instructor did an outstanding job. I definitely hope to take a class with him again! Anyone out there looking for the right place I recommend to take all your courses here. read more

I have been to a number of local training programs and this is by far the best. Pierre has the experience and attitude required to be a great instructor. His knowledge is excellent and he can pass it on to his students efficiently while keeping his classes moving along and entertaining (his simulated injuries in the RSO class for example!) Whether you are a complete beginner or you are adding another instructor rating Pierre will do it right and keep it interesting. Highly recommended. read more

These classes are not only classes to get your FID/LTC it is more than that. It is a physical and mental preparation for your life as a whole. Before taking these classes I always thought I knew self defense but it is more than just getting your firearm if you hear an intruder. SFT teaches you how to move around in a house to clear it out at the same time while being quiet and protecting yourself or others around. Pierre teaches you combat. He teaches you laws. He teaches you how to walk away from situations instead of being a "tough" person and drawing your firearm. He once me " the minute you draw or pull that trigger your life will change forever" and that forever will stick with me as someone who carries concealed. Again, this a great company. I took 3 courses here and once I turned 21 I applied for my LTC and got 0 restrictions. Again. SFT will prepare you and teach you what you need to learn. And on a side note Pierre takes his time, will never hesitate to repeat himself. No question is a wrong question. Great person. Great company. And he has lots of firearms that he lets you hold and shoot. Teaches you about the NRA. It's your right as an American to bear arms, take the classes and have fun while doing it. I recommend SFT. read more
