I recently took the Pistol One course with Tac Skills, and it was a great experience overall. The class was both fun and very informative, and I could see a clear improvement in my shooting skills throughout the duration of the course.

The instructors, Trever and Max, were extremely knowledgeable and did a great job breaking things down in a way that was easy to understand. They were also very pleasant and professional, which made the learning environment even better.

As someone who works in private security and carries a firearm every day, I found this course especially valuable. It helped sharpen my skills and build more confidence in my abilities.

I really enjoyed the class and would definitely like to take more courses with Tac Skills in the future. I’m looking forward to taking the Pistol Two course next.
