But all my worries were put to rest the day of delivery. I received a text that they received my shipment, and informed me of their hours of operation for transfers. Park in back in the north lot opposite Central as that's their own lot. Walk around to the front door on Central and ring their doorbell. The paperwork was quick and easy, and she clearly pointed out everything I had to fill out. Background check only took a few seconds. I was in and out with my package in 10 minutes. $30 per transfer and your 7th one is free. As for the training, etc. I cannot comment. If/when I take any classes, I will update.

His class was very engaging, extremely informative and I highly recommend taking his 16 hour conceal carry class. The class time went quickly with a lot of time for questions when necessary. He would not move onto the next topic if he noticed confusion or uncertainty in his students facial expressions. In other words, he could read you and did not move on until you were comfortable with the topic and fully understood the laws pertaining to conceal carry. My husband and I were never bored or "lost" during the entire class. He also sells and manufacturers guns. His prices are excellent and I think he does a lot of online orders. His shop is nothing fancy. The class is upstairs and again, nothing special. But he is certainly an excellent instructor and I plan on coming back for future purchases.

And, he states they are $30k and must be a misprint. Then he goes on to explain their service fees, transport fees, assembly fees, etc. crazy. He then looks on the website after basically calling me a liar only to find all three posted for the $24,995. It was so bad, I had to state that I didn't come to fight or be treated that way by a sales person - crazy that this place is in business with people like this working there... I hate the bait and witch tactic - beware...

CY Armory was an awesome find for my wife and I! Didn't realize it was there until I happened to be…read morelooking for a different business in the same area on RTE 120. I've been shopping at larger stores and shooting at different ranges before finding CY Armory where asking finding help and asking could be a bit of a challenge. Not here! Brian and Dan were awesome! Very knowledgeable and patient with everything I tossed their way! Brian took his time and helped narrow down an overwhelming selection to what will fit my needs. Thanks for that! I typically plan on "only looking" whenever I stop in but often fail. (Thank God for an understanding wife). That said, I'm very pleased with my purchases and will definitely continue to give my business with CY! As for the range, it's what Brian classifies as "old-school". Nothing fancy but, come on... what do you need other than a safe lane and a target to practice? This checks the box! My wife even likes the hand-crank to send the target out and back rather than the electronic controls. There's always been at least 1 lane ready and waiting whenever I've been there. As a guy, I don't put much emphasis in the bathrooms at a business but my wife really does appreciate a clean and stocked facility which CY has! It was just totally re-done! Husbands all know that it's a drag when you have to leave somewhere that you are having fun only to find your wife a bathroom that's up to her standards. Ugh... Now I can stay as long as I want! (Ha-Ha!) Overall, I'd highly recommend CY Armory to anyone that's new to the sport to the advanced shooter.

Great class, excellent instructor. I took the conceal carry class for Illinois. Chris our…read moreinstructor; was very patient with us and answered every question clearly and succinctly. I have been shooting for over twenty years and he was able to correct some of my bad habits and teach us new safety techniques. All the course work is taught in a very professional yet accessible manner. Chris was very respectful regarding various levels of familiarity with firearms and shared his informed opinion with us in bite size pieces of information. I was impressed at how quickly he could spot deficiencies in technique and the ease with which he was able to correct them on the spot. The theoretical part of the course was less exciting, but Chris made it very clear how it relates to every day use and gave several examples each time a clarifying question was asked. This was by far the best experience I have had with a firearms instructor and I have sent my friends to the course who all had the identical perfect experience.

I recently completed my CCL course at Lightning Defense Academy, and I can say without hesitation…read morethat this is the best firearms training academy in Northern Illinois. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional, educational, and deeply meaningful to me. My instructor, Erin, is nothing short of outstanding. Her intelligence, professionalism, patience, and strong character set the tone for the entire class. She created a supportive, welcoming classroom environment where every question was encouraged and answered with clear, precise instruction. Erin truly takes the time to ensure her students understand not only how to safely handle a firearm, but also the laws, responsibilities, and mindset required of a concealed carry license holder. Her trust in me as a student, the time she invested, and her belief in my ability to succeed meant more to me than words can fully express. She is an incredible female instructor who absolutely rocks this class and blew it out of the park on every level. The class itself was fun, informative, and well-paced, with a great group size that allowed for individual attention. The agility test and range qualification were run smoothly and professionally, and the written test at the end of the course was extremely helpful in reinforcing everything we learned. I walked away feeling confident, informed, and prepared. The owner, John, is an amazing instructor and an even better human being. Despite running a busy family business and teaching instructor-level classes, he took time to step into our classroom and share invaluable, real-world knowledge that every CCL holder should hear. His guidance on the range is something you truly need to experience firsthand. He is patient, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the success and safety of every student. Lightning Defense Academy is also home to an incredible pro shop located in the same building. It is a family-run business, with John and his son working behind the counter and going above and beyond to help. They patiently answered my questions, guided me toward the proper holster for my needs, and made the purchasing process comfortable and educational. The selection of firearms and accessories is outstanding, with one of the largest selections of new and used firearms I've seen, along with hands-down the best-priced ammunition in McHenry County. What truly sets Lightning Defense Academy apart is their commitment to the community. They offer free classes for women taught by Erin, free CPR and first aid classes, and many additional opportunities to continue learning and growing as a responsible firearm owner. Passing this class meant the world to me. Being trusted, taught, and guided by such a knowledgeable and caring team opened my eyes to the seriousness, responsibility, and legal understanding required of a CCL holder. Lightning Defense Academy doesn't just teach you how to pass a class--they teach you how to carry with confidence, responsibility, and respect for the law. Located off Route 14 in Crystal Lake, Lightning Defense Academy is a true platinum gem. If you are considering obtaining your CCL or furthering your firearms education, do not miss the opportunity to train with John, Erin, and their outstanding team. I recommend Lightning Defense Academy without hesitation as the absolute best in Northern Illinois.
