I used Threat Scenarios for my initial and a renewal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great staff and very knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend their courses above any other others in the area. By far, they are the safest. I have done renewals at other services and did not feel safe at times. I never felt this way with Threat Scenarios. I had multiple schedule conflict and was not able to make any of their renewal courses. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Brian scheduled me with Ang on a private renewal and this worked out great with my schedule.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Most excellent courses. I have taken many of these courses for years now and am still always recommending these guys. You will always learn more each time not matter your level. If you want to become more proficient, sign up for one of their courses. read more

My husband and I joined a group of friends for a Basic Pistol Class. Neither my husband or I have used a semiautomatic weapon before. But have been thinking of purchasing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we scheduled the communication was clear and concise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had almost one on one training at our class. It was amazing! Buying a gun is like buying a car.. One does not fit all.. and I learned that from this class. I look forward researching and more hands on to find the correct semiautomatic for myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Ray, Ed, and your wonderful team. But especially Nick, who helped me with the last two cartridges every time we reloaded our magazines![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend ! Hope to learn more from them! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My wife and I with zero experience with firearms and learned SO MUCH in only a few hours![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ange was great, very thorough and professional, we felt absolutely well taken care of the whole time. This course was specifically pistols, but they do just about everything. It also all done at a very reasonable price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We can confidently say we're familiar with how to operate a pistol and are genuinely excited to schedule more firearm training in the future.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hopefully with Ange! read more

I'm a middle-aged woman who had minimal experience with pistols before I began my training with Threat Scenarios. I've now taken 3 classes from Threat Scenarios over the course of several years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. All the instructors are experts and focused on safety, and they are also kind, good natured, patient, and all around great people! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really enjoy training with Ang. I learn SO much every time I train with him. He is a real pro. He has a gentle, friendly style and his insights have really improved my skills and given me confidence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One of the best training classes I've taken, especially for a CCW course. Felt like I was in good hands the entire time, safety was phenomenal, and the training was top quality. For the price point and the experience, you get what you paid for and then some. Highly recommend. read more

Thank you for teaching me how to properly handle firearms, thank you for teaching me and putting on so much scenarios on how to be safe and how to deal with different treats that can happen in real life .[[HIGHLIGHT]]fun and great class[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . read more

They are the best, lots of instructors per student so you get lots of good input on how to leave a better shooter. The way they teach they show the students that want to see them improve and have the skills they need to defend themselves in every scenario they can fit in. I would never go anywhere else. I can't say enough about how amazing and patient the instructors are. Thank you guys for all you do!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely the best! Huge thanks to Brian, Alex, and the entire staff! You were all fantastic instructors, and I learned so much from each of you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I now feel more confident in legally and safely carrying a handgun for protection. I've already recommended you to my friends and family! read more

Wanted to restart and rebuild my foundation with good basics. So I signed up the Basic Pistol course. Ang, Ed, Junior and team did a great job of not only teaching the basics but also took their time with each student's personal needs. They provided personalized tips/techniques/drills to help students feel more comfortable with their firearms and to help correct bad habits. They also kept the class interesting with a series of drills and scenarios that made the day fly by fast. I can't wait till my next class. read more

I signed up for a Beginner Pistol class which got rained out. Was moved to another day quickly and was able to attend. The training was very educational and the head instructor Ang was very good about getting us through the class. The others who were there to help and assist were very friendly and had lots of information to share. Looking forward to trying other classes. If you are a person who is interested in firearms and you're looking for a class to take, I suggest you take a look at Threat Scenarios. Everyone that I interacted with whether through phone calls, emails, or in person was very friendly and professional. Give them a shot. read more

It can definitely seem intimidating when you know nothing about firearms and sign up for your first class, but these guys were great!! My friend and I signed up for their women's basic pistol course and not only did we learn a lot, but we left the class feeling much more confident. We learned a lot about safety, the basic components of a gun, safe handling of them, how to operate them and even how to clear them if any of the more common malfunctions occur. One thing I really appreciated was that they had a great instructor to participant ratio for class! So there was often someone looking over your shoulder to make sure you were doing things correctly and to answer any questions you might have. And not just that, but also to catch us so we don't do create bad habits or improper technique. I enjoyed the class so much and loved that the instructors did such a phenomenal job that I brought my two kids (age 11 and 13) to a class, along with some other friends and their kids, too! I'm glad that I'm able to expose my kids and have them learn about safety and proper techniques right from the start. We'll definitely be doing more classes in the future. read more

Although the day was cold and blustery, I had a great experience taking the Basic Pistol course at Threat Scenarios. The range masters were friendly and always there to help or suggest to make your shooting session better. I was not the only woman, so ladies- don't be shy or intimidated! Although I had taken several private classes and been to the range a handful of times, I felt even more confident in "owning" my handgun after this class. I highly recommend this class to the beginner, the curious and I would even take it again with a friend. I don't feel like this class is just for the beginner, I learned a lot about handling and psychology too. I would take this Basic Pistol course again because it's fun, it reiterates what may be new and repetition is key. read more

Threat Scenarios - Basic Pistol class 2021 - Firearm Training Near Me

Took the CCW course and it was well worth the cost. Knowledgeable instructors. Great instructor to participant ratio.

The guys at Threat Scenarios are great. Really appreciated the tactical drills they put us through. Not just a day of putting lead through paper. Shooting on the move, from cover, timed, distance. Ange, Ed, Junior, and Jesus were all great to work with. read more

Basic Pistol 9/3/2022 Location: Richmond, CA Class: 5 women (4 of us were total noobs), 2 men Staff: 6 AMAZING time today with Ang Claudio and his crew (Ray, Ferdi, Chris, Junior, Ed) at Threat Scenarios. This class is perfect for folks who have 0 experience with guns and even those who have some experience but had no formal (good) instruction. - Sit-down class part of instruction was clear and Ang answered all of our questions patiently; didn't flood us with too much information, just everything we needed to know and what we asked. Any more information might have been overload. They provided each person with a nicely bound copy of the NRA Guide: Basics of Pistol Shooting to take home. - Pacing of all the shooting practice was great - plenty of breaks at the right times - Plenty of practice of each drill - I felt very confident at the end of each drill - Never felt rushed, was always helped and encouraged; appreciated reminders of the basics when I forgot - Felt very safe with all the crew around watching out for any unsafe practices. They took safety very seriously but never sounded judgmental or exasperated when someone did something wrong - Loved that we started off super close to the paper target and ended with being far from steel targets .. could see how much we had learned. It was very satisfying. - Great teacher to student ratio, it was practically 1:1; couldn't do better anywhere else - Ang was funny, approachable, non judgmental, patient, clear and an overall great teacher !! - Really nice touches: ice cold water available + señorita bread !! (Exact snacks probably depend on the instructor that day?) 10/10 stars - Also, appreciated the availability and cleanliness of the port o potties Such a great experience. I will recommend this to my friends and wouldn't mind doing it again myself. I could've done the class all over again when it ended. Even if someone doesn't have the intention of getting into guns at all, this class was just something really fun to do for a day. I can't imagine someone not itching to practice more after learning these basics. read more

Fabulous instruction. Thoughtful and complete. Made me think about so many new things. I feel safer and better prepared than ever. I'm certainly planning on more courses with them. Thanks everyone! read more

Brian, Ray and Ange were super awesome. This has been my third renewal class with Threat Scenarios. I totally recommend them. They have numerous classes for everyone. Keep up the good work guys. See you all at the next class and more power to you. read more

Okay ... 2nd course taken with Threat Scenarios today with my son, Miguel, and we had an awesome time ! The guys that facilitated with our 'Next Step-Defense Handgun I' were superb! What can I say? Safety, holster maneuvering, trigger firing, and the taste of what's next -to-come in future classes takes the 'A+ ' in my book! If it wasn't for my son wanting me there to join him and learn from the basics, I wouldn't have thought I'd actually give a chance to learn what it is to hold a weapon/gun and all the responsibilities surrounding it. Everything else after this is extra gravy!!!! The background from our instructors ranged from enthusiasts as students to law enforcement. I want to thank all the men there who guided today's class . As Kevin emphasized 'PRACTICE' ' Mahalo to Kevin, Al, AJ, Kyle and Steve. --- '(thank you for the 'last minute' belt ) See you guys next time !!!! read more

This was my first time handling a gun. I didn't even think I'd be able to get in because the classes were booked for months. But I got on the waiting list and was able to take the Women's Basic course. They were so great and patient with me and the other women in the class were also very supportive. Thank you so much to Brian, Ray, Justin and Nicole. What an awesome team. I feel like you were my kindergarten teachers lol. I'll definitely be taking more classes and couldn't recommend it more read more

Threat Scenarios - Firearm Training Near Me

I have to admit I was facing a lot of fear going into the 2 day CCW course before getting my permit. I'm a grandmother in my 60's and had only shot a pistol one time in my life when I was around 10 years old. I had never shot the gun that I used to qualify and I had acquired a lifetime of fear about handling a gun. However, I'm a believer in being prepared for what may be ahead and we live very near cities with an alarming level of lawlessness amidst overwhelmed and understaff law enforcement operations. My reason for taking the course was to do my best to be able to protect myself in the event that it becomes necessary. That core belief as well as weeks of fighting back my fearful thoughts going into the course by telling myself that I would listen, focus, take notes, and do exactly as I was instructed ... that's what I had going into the class. Brian and Wayne and their team of instructors, most of whom were volunteers were the most amazing, professional, detail oriented, and kind team of people that I have met in a long time. Honestly, going into the class, I was fully expecting that the instructor would be a prideful sort of machismo character and I was prepared for someone looking down on me for my lack of skills and experience. What I found instead was that Brian and Wayne and their team repeatedly taught me, demonstrating time and again how to properly handle my gun, how to use the red dot, how to determine which was my dominant eye, how to hold steady, squeeze the trigger and all the rest. I've been a business owner for 41 years in a service oriented company and I value having a great company culture and treating customers with appreciation, gratitude, and respect. Spending a weekend with this team of people in and of itself was an inspiration and I would definitely recommend them highly. I'm excited to go out to the range and spend some Fridays practicing with Brian's people. Qualifying on the first round, improving greatly on the second round and now having my CCW permit tucked safely away in my wallet is over the top a positive, empowering, experience. read more

Pricing: Very reasonable prices, beat pretty much every nearby competitor in pricing for similar training. Professionalism: The instructors are highly professional, knowledgeable, and skilled. Their website is well put together with aesthetically pleasing design and very clear menus to get the information you need. Half of the firearms training places around the Bay Area have websites that look like they were designed in 1996 that are riddled with grammatical errors and information that is either missing or hidden away at the bottom of the page -- Threat Scenarios stands out. Training: When you sign up for a class with Threat Scenarios, you're signing up to shoot. In a four hour class, we shot around 500 rounds while receiving personalized attention and instruction. Additionally, the instructors equip you with techniques and methods of training for you to do on your own to improve your skills. Overall, five stars. Would recommend this business to anyone who asked. read more

I am back to leave another review. I just had another class with these guys, and wow. Brian Ray Allan Steve Pete Phill and the whole crew are just amazing. Never felt safer shooting and also pushed in an amazing way. Everytime I shoot with these guys I feel like im better when I leave. Instructor to student ratio is awesome. Their knowledge and training experience is top level and they truly care about what knowledge and experience they leave you with. I am will try and shoot with these guys at least once every few months if possible once a month. Cheers to Threat Scenarios and their whole team. See you guys again soon. read more

This is an excellent program to receive an introduction to firearm safety and experience live fire. I recently attended Basic Pistol, a one day session with a couple of hours of classroom work and 4+ hours shooting. Shot over 250 rounds. The instructors were knowledgeable, disciplined and patient with all the participants. There were 12 students and most had little or zero experience with pistol shooting. The training met all my expectations that highlighted extensive live fire. There is a pronounced emphasis on a tactical mindset and this helped frame the context for defensive gun skills. I hope to return in the future for more advanced training. read more

These guys are AWESOME! Listen, if you are considering getting a firearm or already own a firearm and have no formal training (and understand the necessity of being trained properly), I recommend them. If you own a firearm and have formal training...I still recommend them. They have several classes from the very basics, to full on real-life THREAT SCENARIOS! My ROI was far more than expected. The knowledge given, the wisdom and nuggets dropped from the whole team was unbelievable. These guys are dialed in and the real deal! There wasn't a dull moment in the class--I totally did not expect the class to be fun, but it was! (I have purposely left out which class I took and why...because well...ya don't need to know lol :-D ...just know that you are in very capable hands with Threat Scenerios!) Brian, Ray, Ang, Phil...and so many others (there were so many instructors and safety techs, about 1:2, nearly 1:1!!!), I cannot remember all of your names (so sorry), you guys are so awesome! Thanks for everything and I cannot wait for my next class! read more

I recently completed a CCW course with Threat Scenarios. I took a lot of time and deep consideration in whether or not to pursue gun ownership, let along the choice to carry as I have no previous firearm experience and come from a rather anti-gun background. I wanted to find a training course provider which took their responsibility to train me as seriously as I did my choice to purchase a handgun. The team at Threat Scenarios, as well as the team at 29 Outdoor Gear where I purchased my firearm are the best. The student to instructor ratio was superior, every student had someone watching and coaching us to be more proficient, they constantly reminding us of the responsibility of gun ownership, how important practice is and how serious we needed to take our training. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That being said, there was enough levity to keep the class from feeling "frightening" and when I struggled with qualification shooting, Ange and Junior were right there to show me were I could correct and brought me through the course to success.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The team loves what they do and it shows. Highly recommend this group for any level of training! read more

Just completed the two day class for initial ccw and it was awesome! Ray, Ang, Alan, and Ed were very knowledgeable and skilled. I learned a ton and feel more confident carrying a firearm. I'm definitely coming back for more instruction because it's a perishable skill. read more

If I can give 10 starts they definitely deserve it. Can't be any more satisfied with the training I've learned in 2 days. Was completely nervous at first but the comfort level settled in very quick. For anyone considering taking this class, despite the fee, I would definitely recommend it. Money damn well spent. And definitely coming back for more lessons. Much appreciated for all of the fellas putting in their time to passing their knowledge down. ALOHAS! Ryan-aka- Fanny pack (thanks Jason) read more

I had the pleasure of working with Threat Scenarios for my CCW certification. The owner Jerry, personally gave the class room portion, on the first day. He was so knowledgeable, that I just assumed he was retired law enforcement! I received so much information regarding firearms and the laws regarding conceal carry in an 8 hour period, it was eye opening. The second part of the class, was out door portion and it was very intensive, in a good way. Once again, Jerry the owner was leading the class. The instructors were fabulous. Jerry, Dan, Alan and Michael were very hands on. They made sure everyone was safe and they spent extra time with those, that may have needed a bit more attention and were new to hand guns. You could tell, that they all took pride in what they do and I must say, they are exceptional good at what they do, as well. I got some great tip on shooting that really honed in my accuracy, just like a good golf instructor would do for you. You can tell that Jerry and the whole staff really took the time to plan a curriculum that flowed well, educated you and made you a better hand gun owner at the end of the day. I am looking forward to taking their advanced class, in the very near future. I would highly recommend Threat Scenarios to all my friends looking to advance their skills, in the field of firearms handling and shooting. Thanks again to all you guys, you are true professionals! read more

I had a great day with Threat Scenarios in training. This class went above my expectations regarding how much I learned. They are also great instructors, Jason Ray and Ang took particular time with me and my friend. I highly recommend training with them, I for one will be going back for more. read more

This class and program is AWESOME!! I have been shooting for over 30 years. The instructors Brian, Jerry , Ray, Bryan, Ang, & Andy were supportive, and very knowledgeable. I learned more in that two day class that I have learned in my last ten years of shooting. Everything was of value. Safety, Defensive shooting and legal information were all covered in the classroom portion. The Range Day was AWESOME. I was able to learn and practice real life defense that I could not learn on a public range. I felt safe and supported in the process. I can't recommend this program enough and I will support them in the future by taking more trainings. read more

A great big thank you to Threat Scenarios for such an amazing training course! It was my first time taking any sort of formal firearms training - naturally, I was nervous. But they made me feel so comfortable which allowed me to focus on learning everything I need to know! I took the Women's Basic Pistols Course. They take you through the anatomy of the pistol and the basic functions. We went through a couple safety drills before we made it to the range. When we arrived at the range, we went through many different rounds of practice! If you're interested in learning about how to properly use your firearm - TAKE. THESE. COURSES!! It's such a good investment for yourself and your loved ones. Huge shoutout to Justin, Brian, Ray, Nicole for keeping us safe and laughing the whole time! :) read more

Have taken 2 classes from TS. The last was Defensive Handgun/CCW. Can't say enough about how great the training and trainers are. Brian and all his assistants are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They create a safe training environment and there is always someone observing you and helping you. Anyone who owns a firearm or is contemplating getting one would benefit immensely with training by Threat Scenarios. read more

I took the women's handgun course with Brian and the crew. I was very impressed I learned so much in just a short amount of time. They really set my mind at ease as I was very nervous in the beginning. I hadn't shot a gun in a while. I have recently purchased my first gun and wanted to get a good understanding of the mechanics of the gun as well as all the safety involved in owning a firearm. I will definitely be back for more classes. I really enjoyed it. read more

I had a great experience last Sunday in the Basic Pistol course. 300 rounds disappeared before I knew it. Brian and his team were cordial, funny, generous with their support and genuinely concerned with every student's experience. As a long-time shooter, and former LEO, I'm always concerned with range discipline and safety. I can attest that the Threat Scenario team runs a very safe range. I will return! read more

Took a women's safety firearms class through this company and it was awesome. Learned so much, instructors made it fun and engaging. 8 hour class went by so fast. Definitely recommend this class to women who want to learn firearm safety! read more

I can't recommend this class enough. If you're a first time gun owner, please do yourself and everyone around you a favor and learn from TS. I just took their July 4th class and Jerry, Brian, Jason, Ray and the rest of the team did a great job. They make you feel welcomed and have the patience to answer any questions you might have. During class they go to every individual and give them pointers, too. I definitely will take more classes with TS. Thanks again to the TS team for a great experience! read more
