TAC-1 Firearms & Weapons Training

UPDATED 11-25-18: After posting my last Google review on TAC-1, I have taken 5 more TAC-1 classes ranging from Carbine-2 and different tier level pistol courses that also include concealed pistol, tactical low light, ballistic shield training, close quarter technique, and shooting while moving. One thing that I was surprised about was that the Carbine-2 class that I took this year was completely different from the Carbine-2 class I took last year. Both classes had the same lecture but the drills were different and are now timed with a shot timer clock. This made it more challenging and more fun. I have taken the same classes from other firearm training outfits and its basically the same thing and I got bored of it. The TAC-1 testing and evaluation are now done individually rather than a whole class doing it together with the exception of Pistol-1(A).TAC-1 has very reasonable prices for their 1-day firearms training courses and is taught by a LAPD Firearms Instructor. So don't spend money on worthless gun modifications. Use that money to take TAC-1 classes and become a better shooter! See you at the range.Review on Sept. 2017: I have taken many pistol and rifle classes from other training companies and I had really wished I went to TAC-1 sooner. They offer great high quality training at an affordable price. In fact, most of their classes fit around my work schedule which is a huge plus. Shoji is a great instructor and patient as well. The students are also great to get along with. What I really like is that TAC-1 will keep track of your hits and misses, both on steel or paper targets, and score them throughout the day. This motivates me to become a better shooter and makes it more fun. Other training outfits don't even score your targets. TAC-1 training is so great that I recommended them to my uncle and my aunt and they ended up taking some of their beginner pistol courses and enjoyed them. If you're an experienced shooter and want to test your skills with other shooters, then I highly recommend taking a TAC-1 course.

Safe and professional firearms training. A well rounded program from beginner to advanced. An awesome group to shoot with.

I have never been shooting before and I was never interested much in guns at all. My brother is in the Marines and we had talked about going shooting, so I decided to take the TAC-1 Safe Start class to get myself started. The class was an amazing experience. There student to instructor ratio is kept to a minimum to ensure the high quality training and education that TAC-1 provides. My instructor for the day was Lou and assistance from Mike. Lou is a true expert in the field with his extensive background and years of experience. He educates you not only on gun laws, self-defense, mechanics of the gun, marksmanship etc, but also uses real-life examples and stories from his 30+ years in the field. Mike was quick to answer any questions and provide help, instruction, and advice with his training and experience.They also tailor the training based on how fast you are progressing and answer any questions you have.The Safe Start class was a blast (no pun intended). I realized how much more it is than just target practice. The methodology and philosophy TAC-1 brings to Firearms Training is unlike anything I've heard from before. They make it into a true martial art. I was surprised how much fun it was and I can't wait to take the next Pistol 1A Course to continue my training.
