I had an incredible experience at security six during my initial firearm training. From start to finish the professionalism in knowledge of the team stood out. Sandy is such a wonderful instructor which makes the two days go so fast. From my observation she is a full of wisdom and has a battle tested experience. A shoutout to legendary Larry, whose years of experience and confident approach made the training education and very inspiring. I can't forget to the hospitality of the office manger who served me a delicious homemade dessert. Thank you!! read more

I went to security six based off a few great references from colleagues. After my experience I can honestly say they understated just how great security six is. If you're looking for great customer service and to learn from experienced vets, this is the place. Larry, Sandi and Annette were amazing and super helpful. read more

Quick background***Just so you [the reader] know where I'm coming from... I'm a U.S. Army combat veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom. I served as an infantryman and base most of my foundation of professionalism and security operations on that experience. I've earned a few associates degrees since then and have worked as a private security officer for over 5 years now.*** After hearing about my intentions on pursuing further training and opportunities in the security industry, the services at Security Six were recommended to me by a co worker and a supervisor at my current place of employment. I read some reviews on Security Six to further gain some insights on the place and based off of what I heard and read, I decided to put my foot through the door. Everything I heard and read about the place was accurate. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for everyone at Security Six. Everyone was very welcoming and treated each other respectfully and remained professionally appropriate while incorporating humor which really aids in establishing that human connection through the learning process. I've taken the Security Guard Card Course and the Initial Firearms Course. I've purchased an unmatched, unbeatable priced firearm from the owner Larry Hamby, who is very knowledgeable and transparent with pricing and information. Larry Hamby, along with instructors Sandi and Annette share a plethora of real world lifelong genuine experiences when teaching the courses. They are not boastful in any sense, but they are very confident and competent instructors worthy of your attention. They don't just have papers saying they're great and qualified, but they literally have the knowledge and experience that backs up every bit of information they teach! The instructors also use current events and up-to-date news on the law when teaching the skills inherent that of a Security Guard and responsible firearms owner. It's only been about 1 month since I started my journey with Security Six. My guard card was approved by BSIS in a matter of a week. I qualified through the initial firearms range test on my third week since I first stepped through Security Six's door and by my fourth week, I'm waiting on my exposed firearms permit to also be approved. I was so fortunate to have a 1 on 1 instruction throughout my initial firearms course since I was the only student that day. Instead of turning me away and having me come back when there were more students, Sandi and Larry opted to instruct me 1:1 without hesitation. They respect your time and conduct a respectable business. I'm looking forward to taking their Baton and Pepper Spray Permit courses as well as their CCW course. I'm with full confidence that I'll learn many more much needed skills and knowledge from those courses. Security Six is what I'd hoped I would find and I'm very satisfied that I chose them for my pursuit of further training and opportunity. If you're looking to get into the security industry, you should definitely get going with Security Six! read more

Went to Security Six for my CCW training and thought it was going to be dry and boring but Larry and Sandy was super interactive, made sure we understood everything being taught and repeatedly promised we'd learn something new this weekend. I love that they were able to have us all illustrate how we do things and then give their opinion and knowledge on how they do things. The simple tips and tricks were more than enough to help me gain a lot of new skill. The cost at Security Six for their course is super affordable and the other perks they provide is something one needs to go see Larry about when shopping for rolls of the trade . They went above and beyond to reinforce their lessons to make sure what we paid to learn was delivered! I would 10/10 recommend Security Six to anyone needing to do any training/certifications as both Larry and Sandy have served a lifetime to this country and show how much they do care for our community. read more

I just completed my 16 hour course for armed security and I have to say, after my 2 days there with Larry and Sandi I feel very confident. Larry taught me some things I never even heard of before and I thought I was somewhat experienced in firearms. Definitely the best training class around. Thank you Sandi and Larry! read more

Security Six Training - Private Investigation Near Me - Hayward, California

See all

I just completed the Alameda County approved CCW course with Security Six. I had been delaying the course, finally decided to go ahead. Picked Security Six because of convenient dates and enrollment availability. Really new very little about Security Six, only that it was approved by Alameda County. But I will say that I was happy I made the choice. Larry Hamby was the instructor for the two day course and truly probably has the most impressive background in firearms of anyone in the country. His extensive knowledge makes for interesting discussions and a meaningful training experience. I learned a lot and definitely look forward to getting back to the range. Another benefit for both the environment and expense is the use of computerized realistic weapon simulation for qualification scoring. Definitely a preferred approach. I definitely recommend Larry for the CCW course. read more

Great place but the last today I was asking simple question seemed like she didn't want to be on the phone answer fast before I can finish I can tell she was young because the older people here I talk to are more genuine then the conversation I just had with whoever she is read more

I had a very good experience with Security Six for some firearms training. I learned a lot, and that's putting it mildly. Larry is without a doubt the most highly accomplished firearms instructor I have encountered. He has done it all and it shows by the depth of instruction and practical insights given. I found the class to be highly interesting. The hands on training was excellent and helped me a great deal. Larry and Sandy are very approachable, patient and friendly. You will be in very competent hands at Security Six, whether you are a beginner or experienced. I plan on going back. read more

Larry and Sandi are awesome. Just picked up a handgun from them and the process couldn't have been smoother. Looking forward to getting my CCW paperwork completed so I can take instruction from them. Very personable, professional and impressive resumes! read more

Professional most knowledgeable in all aspects ! Casual training room and classes taught by most expertise instructor's. Hands on training classes and one on one in small class atmosphere! Can't say enough about the training, the instructors and knowledge that I learned. I continue to use and implement all the training that was taught to me!! The best found CCW Training & Instructor's for me!! read more

Just completed my CCW training with Security Six. Larry and Sandi, Thank you, guys, very much!! A lot of knowledge, training and education... with a lot of fun!!! Great instructors, highly experienced and efficient with a lot of military and law enforcement background. There are a lot of "schools" around Bay Area offering the same service, but if you are planning to take the training - go with Security Six! You will be happy you did!! Igor F. read more

These people are a joke! They tell you one thing over the phone, and when you get there, it's a whole another story. Be careful with filling out the sign in sheet they have everyone put their personal information, such as social security numbers, all on the same page. I guess they don't care about identity theft, only money! Their handcuffing certificate expires after 2 years, and other facilities are a lifetime. Just another way to rip off their students.... read more

I would have gladly paid more, now that I know about the instructors and their extensive background with the military and law enforcement. Their lessons include practical and personal examples where you can discuss various situations. I am much more confident after attending this CCW course and am looking forward to renewing my permits with this team for years to come. Their credentials and service to our county (and country) go beyond helping you to meet a state requirement, and you will genuinely leave your classes with wisdom from people whose lives are closely associated with military and law enforcement. These aren't just gun hobbyists offering a service. This team is a treasure of experts in the field. An added bonus is I'll be buying my next weapons through Larry and team, as they have an FFL license. Don't be shy to ask their opinions on the best weapons, and why, for self defense. read more

Security Six was recommended to me by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office and a friend that recently attended a training class there. I took a firearms training class, received a handgun safety certificate, and bought a firearm from Security Six. Sandy and Larry were my instructors but Sandy was my primary instructor and both were extremely knowledgeable, former military/law enforcement, with decades of experience in firearms and security. Sandy is a great instructor and puts the class at ease so people aren't afraid to ask questions. She taught me a lot in our class and provided great feedback that improved my techniques. I really enjoyed the class and had a great experience at Security Six. I will definitely be using them for my renewal training and as my FFL dealer! read more

What an amazing experience by going to security six and have been trained by one of the more acknowledgeable firearm instructor in the Bay Area-Larry. Larry gave me one of the most finest instruction that i ever got it/ As a former World Champion in Submission Wrestling and multiple times National and International champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts.With over 32 years of experience teaching martial arts i can see an amazing instructor when I see one . I strongly recommended Larry and the security six staff for all your security and training purposes. Larry knows what he teaches! read more

I was lucky to have gone with Security Six, my instructors were Larry and Sandi, both of whom have decades of experience in military and law enforcement. They offer tremendous amounts of insight and wisdom into self defense tactics, whether it be in the home or on the streets and, equally important, the legal ramifications of defending yourself in a broad range of situations. Put simply, the invaluable knowledge they teach in their self defense classes are meant to serve two purposes: to keep you alive and to keep you out of prison. read more

This is the place where I took my first gun training class almost 30 years ago, Larry Instructed me on the correct way to Zero in a 357 Colt Python at 25 yards down range; since then I have become a good marksman. Recently , l went back to do it all over again because I let my permits expire 2years ago and the experience was outstanding and Larry was great as usual. Because I had not been to the range in over 3 years, l was a bit rusty; but Larry wasn't; and corrected all of my imperfections. I am now back on track, had to take the Assessment exam though, l received my gun card two weeks later. Larry and his staff are truly great and pleasant to work with. read more

Security Six was the location I used to complete my required 16HR course for the California CCW permit. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Larry was a great instructor to have .... he will teach you the correct and safe way to shoot your weapon with the most accuracy possible. They use a laser simulator to test your shooting skills, so if you're looking to fire off live rounds ,you might want to check out another range.... but i found the simulator actually helped me to improve on my accuracy and i was able to apply all of the little tricks & skills that Larry will teach you in the class! ...Overall you will learn a lot of good information by using Security Six!! Highly recommend them!! read more

This is a late review about a private party transfer I did a month ago. Larry was straight forward and to the point. Reasonably priced, efficient and fast process.

Security Six Training - This is the room you need to be in if you're Into the BEST training possible learn from a living legend, Larry Hamby, aka (lighting Larry) - Private Investigation Near Me - Hayward, California

PROS: Larry is awesome! Super cool dude who is down to Earth and always willing to help. I found this place when I was looking for an FFL to conduct a private party firearm transfer and couldn't be happier. Most FFLs are rude and have an "I don't have time for you attitude," which doesn't make sense because if I had a good experience would give them more business. CONS: I don't really have any at this time. I will update this if I can come up with anything . OVERALL: Highly recommend for an FFL transaction. Although, I'm hesitant because I don't want to increase my own wait times haha read more

A lot of great information was taught by Larry, great class and great teaching. I highly recommend everyone coming here.

The best training and experience for my CCW. I couldn't have asked for a better team! I would highly recommend Security Six! Exceptional!! Professional staff, highly experienced and efficient! Best instructors!!! read more

Highly recommend heading into this business for all your security/firearm licensing needs. I came in last minute without an appointment and Anette helped me straight away. I was able to get in and out super quick with everything needed taken care of. Anette was on top of all the paperwork. I had misplaced my receipt thinking I had forgot to ask for one, but called back later in the day for Anette to remind me that I had tucked it away inside some other documents. Attention to detail right there!! It was a pleasure to bring my business to Larry and Anette and the whole Security Six team. I will most definitely keep them in close for any other business needs in the future! Thank you guys for your professionalism! read more

During the pandemic, BLM protests, and antifa...there are only a few ffls that are open and of those that are open only a few are excepting ppts. Even with the shops offering a ppt time slots they are charging a ridiculous amount for fees and monopolizing the market. I was able to find a seller on calguns and he picked this training facility/Ffl in Hayward. The owner Larry is a great guy and is genuinely a good person with a vast amount of knowledge. They charge a very Resonable rate (even if we weren't going through the adversities that we are today). It was a quick and painless experience. Even though I live 30 miles away and there are plenty of ffls between my home and this Ffl, I'd much rather prefer to take the drive and be treated right with reasonable pricing and friendly customer service. I would highly recommend you to check it out if you are looking for a place to do a ppt, ammo transfer, or firearm shipment. God bless America. read more

I highly recommend anyone want to get his BSIS Guard Card, BSIS Exposed Firearm Permit, CCW, or any form of permit this is the right place to go. I just finished last Tuesday my BSIS Exposed Firearm Permit training it was such a great experience. Our instructor Sandy was so professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The whole staff was great honestly. Don't forget to check them out if you're thinking to get your first gun or ammunition. read more

I was impressed by the knowledge and teaching methods of the instructors Larry and Sandi. My knowledge about safety and handling of the firearm improved immensely. Larry has an impressive resume and it was a pleasure to meet such a master.Thank you again for an awesome experience. read more

As mentioned in another review, Sandy was the primary instructor and Larry taught a segment on pistol and pistol ammunition history. He also added occasional comments to Sandy's narrative. The word best describing the staff and the company is "integrity." They take seriously what they're doing and meld their knowledge on the variety of issues taught in the class into one, consistent message. Both were highly personable and professional throughout the day, were very organized as the presented material on several subjects. Both kept the class moving, avoiding possible ratholes and expertly guiding conversations back to the curriculum so there were no pressured moments later in the day. Larry provided valuable perspective on purchasing concealed carry holsters. Their shooting simulator is amazing. It, operated and interpreted by Larry, provides deep and readily actionable insight into shooting errors. I was relieved that I found such deeply knowledgable and enthusiastic instructors from whom to take this class. I will associate with this company for all things gun-related, including directing my purchases through them. read more
