Client Testimonials

Below are testimonials from our students. We look forward to doing business with you and having you in our courses.

"My dad and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. The instructor was hilarious. The information was very good and he gave us all we needed to succeed in tests. The only scrutiny I have is I wish we had some more break time. But he pushed through the material and I believe everyone of our 25 count class passed. Thank you, Chief Mallory. Excellent service. Highly recommend." ~ Abby from Syracuse, NY

Excellent service. Highly recommend

"I had assumptions going into the class about how a 18 hour required course would go and it was opposite in the best way. The course felt like a two day/two hour course after it was completed. Matt kept us engaged, used real life situations, and for someone who has minimal knowledge on firearms, made it very easy to understand. There is so much more that could be said but 10/10 would recommend to all." ~ Ramiza L. from Undisclosed, NY

10/10 would recommend to all.

"This class was phenomenal. I am on my feet and moving all day at work. So I went into it thinking I was going to be the guy that fell asleep and got slapped in the back of the head! I can honestly say that there was not one dull moment in this class. Matt's delivery is awesome. The content is full of more pertinent information than you can handle and interspersed with funny comments and stories. I have already recommended this course to 3 of my friends and plan to take more training with Matt in the future. Thank you for providing this course." ~ Gary H. from Churchville, NY

I highly recommend taking any of Mat's classes the man lives this stuff and is extremely knowledgeable. I plan on taking other classes he offers in the future. Thanks" ~ Richard S. from Oswego, NY

I learned a great deal in this class in just 18 hrs.

"I have taken multiple safety classes with Matt. He is a great instructor and very knowledgeable of firearm safety. His teaching style encourages participation and he uses relevant examples and case studies to reinforce the material. I highly recommend taking one of Matt's many courses on public safety." ~ Tim N. from Tully, NY

His teaching style encourages participation

"I took the 18 hour NY State Concealed Carry Firearm Safety Course with Matt and he was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable and his resume is impressive. He kept the class engaged through changing his tone of voice and emphasis on certain words to avoid being monotone which is extremely important when teaching to keep attention. He went through everything we needed to know while keeping it entertaining which was awesome and is a sign of a great teacher! He used plenty of real world examples when talking about certain subjects in order to paint a picture that anyone could understand. He never made anyone feel stupid for asking a question and was very attentive when listening to students questions and didn't interrupt them. I look forward to taking more classes of his to further my safety education and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to do the same!" ~ Nicholas T. from Weedsport, NY

"Matt brings a great deal of knowledge and experience into the classroom setting. At first I was bummed that I waited so long to get my pistol permit that I would now have to take an 18hr class with a greater cost to get a concealed carry permit. However, my thoughts changed really quickly after my first day of the class. Throughout the 18hr course, Matt delivered invaluable information related to firearm safety, NYS penal law, the recent NYS changes, federal law, and much more. He used past cases (several that you may be familiar with) on use-of-force to get you into critical thinking on how you can be best prepared for a situation or even to prevent being in that situation at all. I’ve been around long guns all my life, but concealing a firearm crates a whole new responsibility. This class is something one may consider even if they already have a concealed carry with no LE or military experience. Class is fast paced, but PowerPoints are clear and concise. Matt encourages participation and periodically checks in to see if you have any questions. He injects humor into the classroom at appropriate times which makes the learning environment great. To make a long story short, consider making time in your schedule to get a refresher or to learn material that will make you a safer permit holder." ~ Michael C. from Auburn, NY

Matt brings a great deal of knowledge and experience into the classroom setting.

This was a highly organized and professionally run course.

"Overall, the information presented, how it was presented and the teaching was very helpful. Matt was a great instructor and made sure everyone understood all the information that was presented. While the topics were serious, there was a lot of humor thrown in which was appreciated. I was nervous for the live fire portion as I don’t have much experience but if you just listen to what he tells you, you’ll do perfectly fine. I highly recommend others take this class with Matt." ~ Sarah N. from Camillus, NY

If you just listen to what he tells you, you’ll do perfectly fine

"I’m sure how to improve! With all the information and in such a short time. Matt is willing and able to answer questions that matter most in this time of utter confusion! Understand this it’s not a one and done course, Yes you’ll get your permit but with everything changing and everything that is out there now there are multiple courses to take to further your knowledge in the ability to handle and carry a pistol. I could go on and on and on but I won’t, just understand that you will be fully versed in what you need to know." ~ Bill V. from Syracuse, NY

Matt is willing and able to answer questions that matter most

"Wasn't quite sure what to expect, as I wasn't familiar with Matt or the classes and training he provides. But upon arrival and initial meeting, I was made to feel comfortable. The classroom training time and outdoor range shooting time were both on point! Matt and Mike could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful. I will 100% be back for LEOSA recertification next year and would not hesitate for a second to recommend Matt's company for all your training needs!" ~ Christopher L. from Whitesboro, NY

"I hosted and attended Matt Mallory's Sabre Pepper Spray Instructor Course. Matt showed up and showed out. I thought I had learned everything about pepper spray when taking a pepper spray course years ago while in Law Enforcement. Well I was wrong. Matt threw an excellent course and learned quite a bit. He didn't cut corners and was very thorough with the material. I am looking forward to having him back to the area and sign up for his other class offerings. Thanks Matt for coming all the way to Michigan to train us!" ~ Amy L. from  Belleville, MI

Instruction from Matt is never boring and you'll experience a great mix of material and true stories. These are potential life saving skills we're acquiring and it shouldn't be taken lightly!

I thoroughly enjoyed the handgun safety course

"This is the 2nd Handgun Safety Course I've taken. This one amounted to be way more interactive, fun and informative. The way Matt interacted with us and we were able to ask questions in the middle of his presentation and everything was answered in a professional, quick, easy manor. I feel as though I've retained more information from this class than the first class I had taken a few years ago. I'll definitely find myself in more classes taught by Matt." ~ Alexander S. of Syracuse, NY

This is the 2nd Handgun Safety Course I’ve taken

Fantastic Class Overall

"Matt put on one awesome class! Coming into the class I had a lot of questions about the concealed carry pistol permit application. The course was very informative and answered almost all of my questions. On top of that the questions that were not answered in the course, Matt took the time to thoroughly answer the question making sure you leave there with all the information you need. I would 100% recommend Matt and PS&ED for all of your firearm training courses. I will be back. Thanks again Matt!" ~ Gregory G. of Aurora, NY

I would 100% recommend Matt and PS&ED for all of your firearm training courses.

had me on the edge of my chair all night

"Matt was extremely engaging as he delivered the information. He went at an appropriate pace that was neither too fast nor did it lag. The amount of information that Matt presented is what would have taken other instructors twice the amount of time. He presented the information in a clear an concise way that was relatable to the average person. I believe I have a solid foundation of firearm safety upon which to build my knowledge and skills. I have already registered for another course and will be taking many more in the future. I'm so glad I found this service!" ~ Laura D. of Liverpool, NY

Matt was extremely engaging as he delivered the information.

"The USCCA CCHDF Instructor Training with Matt Mallory was fantastic. Matt is a brilliant instructor and very knowledgeable on the topics. The training was organized and complete. Matt was able to capture my attention the whole time with his animated and humorous approach to teaching. I highly recommend taking any defensive training that Matt offers." ~ Michael S. of Lewis Center, OH

I highly recommend taking any defensive training that Matt offers.

"Very insightful course with PS&ED. Much information was covered and really provided an eye opening experience on what is required to be a responsible gun owner and user.

I'm planning on continuing taking additional courses with Matt." ~ Brett of Cicero, NY

I’m planning on continuing taking additional courses with Matt.

I would highly recommend if anybody wanted this course that they go through Mallory Enterprises.

"A very good introductory course. All explained clearly and with light touch. Important points clearly emphasized. Much more informative than an equivalent course taken in Florida for concealed carry permit. Good job." ~ David L. of Manlius, NY

Much more informative than an equivalent course taken in Florida

"I attended the Handgun Safety course at PS&ED HQ on 8/24/21. The setting was a small group (about 10) in the store floor which led to a relaxed feeling. Matt Mallory is obviously well versed in almost any aspect of firearm, taser, pepper spray use and safety, along with other aspects of self defense. He brought to the class sound facts and experience on the proper use and handling of handguns as the laws and risks associated with their use. He stressed that use is a last resort, but emphasized the need to become skilled in proper firearm gripping, pointing (muzzling) and safety, such as with a misfire or hang fire event. I have already signed up to take others of his many course offerings." ~ Scott B. of Syracuse, NY

I have already signed up to take others of his many course offerings.

"I really enjoyed this class. Matthew was very outgoing and knowledgeable. I enjoyed watching the videos and that he used personal experiences to explain how important handgun safety is. I really enjoyed how he engaged us during the training asking us questions if we were in a position where a handgun maybe used as a form of protection. I also like the fact he offers many training classes other than handgun safety and I will definitely be attending other classes he instructs!" ~ Courtney B. of Jamesville, NY

Matthew was very outgoing and knowledgeable.

"Being a second time student of this class, it was great to see how much more Matt has to offer now. All the info and training anyone can use in the real world available in one place." ~ Gregory G. of Camillus, NY

"Found Matt to be very informative. He certainly commands knowledge of the subject and relays it in an easy to understand manner. The 4-hour class seemed to pass very quickly and every hour was jam packed with information. Look forward to taking future classes with Matt." ~ Dale A. of Moravia, NY

Commands knowledge of the subject and relays it in an easy to understand manner.

"Matt is an outstanding instructor. This is the second course I have taken from him. He gives you lots of resources, and appropriate information for the course. His illustrations are spot on with humor built into his presentation. I highly recommend this course." ~ Edward V. of East Syracuse, NY

Matt is an outstanding instructor.

"Very informative and knowledgeable, would definitely like to attend more classes and further training with them." ~ Cooper N. of Canton, NY

Very informative and knowledgeable

"In the three courses we've taken, you have been very informative and you have a great teaching methods, you're down to earth and you convey the concepts very well. It's also nice to hear you give thanks to our Lord God! If it weren't for God, Guts and Guns we'd all probably have a British accent….Lol….(kind of) My wife is interested in a couple of more of your classes and we'll be in contact when the time arises. Thank you and God Bless you and your family" ~ William W. of Baldwinsville, NY

You’re down to earth and you convey the concepts very well

"Class was great. Very insightful with examples for everything and funny which made sitting in a room for 4 hours easy. Will be back for more education soon. Thank you!" ~ Samantha of Altmar, NY

Will be back for more

"This class was very educational and informative. The way Matt goes about teaching this class is different but in a great way. Matt used not only a slideshow but also provided real life examples to help reiterate the importance of gun safety. An awesome class and would recommend taking this class or any of Matt's other classes to everyone!" ~ Zachary R. of Liverpool, NY

Would recommend taking this class or any of Matt’s other classes to everyone!

"The course was more interesting than I thought it would be. Personal stories from Matt helped to keep my focus throughout the course. He also engaged many of the people that took the course alongside me and I think that’s great! I’m looking forward to gaining more knowledge through Matt and the other courses he offers." ~ Cheyene H. of Warners, NY

Matt helped to keep my focus

"Outstanding. The class was very informative and full of detail. I will definately refer to family and friends. I will be taking more classes in the future! Thanks Matt job well done." ~ Michael P. of Moravia, NY

Thanks Matt job well done.

"Safety course with Mr. Mallory was very informative. He is a great instructor, very detailed in the information he was providing. I feel very safe to continue journey of the using a fire arm and learning more under Mr.Mallory. I would recommend his course to others as well." ~ Yaw O. of Liverpool, NY

Safety course with Mr. Mallory was very informative.

"I really enjoyed the class, very informative. I took the same class 5yrs ago from another instructor, had to take it again because it was more than 3yrs since I did it for my pistol permit. I feel Matt did an excellent job, I didn't fall asleep, he went in more depth than I got 5yrs ago. I highly recommend Matt for any class." ~ David E. of Auburn, NY

I highly recommend Matt for any class.

"Very educational and entertaining. Material actually wasn't dry like I have taken the course prior. Great instructor!" ~ Allison H. of Weedsport, NY

"I feel Matt did a great job presenting the material and using everyday scenarios that you could relate to of put yourself in. Course was informative on what laws we need to worry about by using deadly force and what the consequences you and will encounter. Thank you for such a great class well worth the money." ~ Brett L. of Central Square, NY

Well worth the money.

"I came into this class only hearing rumors of what was and wasn't permissible self defense in NY. Often people get caught up in what someone else said is the law, and Mr. Mallory does an exemplary job of explaining exactly where that fine line is. I also appreciate his approach that even though you may be justified, you should always approach every situation as though you've got nothing but your bare hands. Its a common sense (if that's still a thing) approach to responsible firearm possession. Worth every cent spent, and I now feel quite capable to keep myself on the right side of the law and the jury of public opinion. Thanks PS&Ed!" ~ Kurt K. of Canastota, NY

Mr. Mallory does an exemplary job of explaining exactly where that fine line is.

"Mr. Mallory's delivery in the two courses I have taken provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the material being delivered. Providing relevant, critical information, with PowerPoint visuals to facilitate the experience, the material Mr. Mallory conveys is delivered and is not only synchronously aligned with real-world examples, his engaging talking points bring additional relevance to the importance of the material being assimilated. As a result of taking each course, I left with a far greater understanding of the content upon completion. When the information at hand could be used to save lives, there is no room for error, so effective and engaging instruction is beyond necessary, and certainly is delivered." ~ Lynn B. of Auburn, NY

There is no room for error, so effective and engaging instruction is beyond necessary.

"Nice job Matt! Safety course was professional, detailed, informative and entertaining. Look forward to taking more in the future." ~ Michael C. of Niles, NY

professional, detailed, informative and entertaining

"Matt is an incredible trainer with such an exciting and entertaining teaching style. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the 4 hour class flew by. I will be recommending to everyone and returning for further training! Thanks again for everything!" ~ Nick S. of North Syracuse, NY

Matt is an incredible trainer

Matt is a great presenter.

Every experience is a good one.

"Very informative training course. Helpful and interesting." ~ Linda P. of Syracuse, NY

Helpful and interesting.

"I was not familiar with pepper spray always living in rural areas. It was either hand to hand confrontation or everyone understood, we have weapons!! This training course with Saber has shown me that there is another option. A less physical contact and less lethal option. I am pumped about helping others have the confidence to protect themselves or de escalate a situation. Having pepper spray should be the minimum form of protection. Thank you Matt and Saber for your commitment to public safety. I’m excited to be a part of this team!" ~ Joseph H. of Merritt Island, FL

I am pumped about helping others.

"Matt was a great instructor and provided great information that every skill level could understand. I am very happy I went with his class. Plus the seats are very comfortable!" ~ Justin of Pompey, NY

Provided great information that every skill level could understand.

"I attended the Sabre CSAP Instructor course in Titusville, FL. Matt was every bit as dynamic and engaging an instructor as he appears in his videos. He kept my interest the whole day and made the material even more interesting with his personal input. I will definitely seek out more of Matt's trainings offered in Florida. Thank you Matt for your input regarding my instructor style. I will work on the items you brought to my attention." ~ Michael C. of Fort Pierce, FL

He kept my interest the whole day

"This class woke me up. I’m not one that’s educated on self defense techniques, carrying weapons, or any combat training. But Matt made me feel comfortable and answered my questions. I’m excited about my self defense journey. A lifestyle that I know how to be responsible and accountable for because I’m being trained by a humble master. Thank you Mallory’s for opening up your space and your wisdom in this self defense lifestyle." ~ Danielle M. of Syracuse, NY

This class woke me up.

"Matthew is a great teacher he definitely taught things I didn't know. He kept it interesting, not that firearm safetey is something ever to joke about but he did make some jokes, for me it makes thing easier to absorb. He did also mention some additional training and services that I will be using." ~ Christy D. of Syracuse, NY

He kept it interesting

"As a teacher I sit through hours of Professional Development, some phenomenal and some that I struggle to stay focused in. Your class was phenomenal, especially for someone just beginning to learn about handgun safety. Not only was it informative but it was interesting. You kept our attention for the entire 4 hours and you added humor throughout the presentation." ~ Helen D. of Cayuga, NY

As a teacher I sit through hours of Professional Development

"Great Class!!! My son and I took the class together and the four hours flew by. Matt not only makes the class informative but also interesting and fun. I am on the website now picking dates to further or training." ~ James F. of Thousand Island Park, NY

I am on the website now picking dates to further training.

"I just took the NY Law and handgun safety course with Matt, and I have to say that I am very impressed. The class is 4 hours long and it just flew by. Matt is an excellent instructor and extremely knowledgeable about all things guns and safety. Matt was one of the best instructors I have ever come across, great attitude, great sense of humor, and knows how to work a crowd. I would highly recommend this course to any family or friends. I will be continuing on with my handgun education through Matt." ~ Joe K. of Auburn, NY

Matt was one of the best instructors I have ever come across

"Very informative and entertaining. Will be taking further courses to improve training and preparedness. Well worth the expense." ~ James N. of Cato, NY

Very informative and entertaining.

"Great job last night Matt. Excellent social distancing and use of masks during the class, everyone felt safe during the 4 hours we were there. The feedback I received from everyone was that they learned a lot and all will be pursuing their pistol licenses. Appreciate the ease of setting up the class, and it was a breeze paying on your website. Thank you for your class, we learned so much. Look forward to working with you regarding shooting lessons and purchasing the right gun." ~ Kim H. of Baldwinsville, NY

Everyone felt safe during the 4 hours we were there.

"PS and Ed is amazing! The courses are so informational and Matt keeps the class fun an engaging. I was shocked when class ended as it didn’t feel like it had been 5 hours. I will only take classes through PS and Ed!" ~ Kaitlin Y. of Liverpool, NY

"This course could have been 8 hours of dry regulations that were force fed in a classroom, but instead it was dynamic and informative class that covered all the bases. All the instruction is broken down into requirements, their interpretation, and real world examples. Examples of both good and bad decisions and their consequences were illustrated. Everyone in the class felt comfortable asking questions and Matt answered every question honestly. You can’t beat the quality or price for this class." ~ Darrell C. of Morrisville, NY

You can’t beat the quality or price for this class.

"This is the 2nd handgun safety course I have taken. The psanded course led by Matt was a much better experience by far. The information delivery was engaging and there was a good balance of his personal experiences sprinkled throughout. I really enjoyed the class and have already signed up for another psanded course. Looking forward to ongoing education from them in the future!" ~ Dana M. of Auburn, NY

I really enjoyed the class and have already signed up for another PS&Ed course

"I was dreading having to sit for a 4 hour class expecting it to be boring, dry and mundane. It proved to be quite the contrary. You made it engaging and informative at the same time. I learned a great deal and the time flew by. I totally appreciate the work you put into preparing your class and I look forward to taking future classes from you! Thank you, Matt!" ~ Kathleen M. of Onondaga, NY

You made it engaging and informative at the same time.

"Article 35 can be a very dry subject but I think the information was presented in a way that made a lot of sense and we had a lot of interaction with the instructor. Some classes I have been to in other places were just listen to a lecture or a PowerPoint and then take the test and go home. We had the time to ask any and all questions. It was also nice to have a smaller class setting. I would sincerely hope that anyone else that needed that training would take this course." ~ Gary D. of Camillus, NY

Had a lot of interaction with the instructor

"I was afraid this course would compare to sitting in a 6 hour defensive driving course and didn’t know what to expect. I laughed, I learned, and am more than interested in learning more! This class is the only one in my eyes and Matt strives to make sure you understand how to protect yourself from the “bad guys” but protect as well. I think my favorite line was “protect your hardware so you don’t ruin your software.” 10 out of 10 stars and then some! My husband will be attending your class soon and we can’t wait to learn more from you! Thanks for all you do!" ~ Mariya C. of Onondaga, NY

I laughed, I learned, and am more than interested in learning more

"Matt is an excellent instructor, who is very approachable. He was able to help improve my shooting sports knowledge and skill. I would highly recommend any class with Matt regardless your skill level, you will learn something new!" ~ Matthew F. of Homer, NY

Matt is an excellent instructor

"I had a great experience with PS&ED. Matt was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about teaching and was able to answer all questions thrown at him.

I definitely walked away from this class with a much better understanding of the basics and will be looking into more classes with him for more experience." ~ Christie of Munnsville, NY

Informative as well as interesting

"I recently took my NYS Handgun Safety Course given by Instructor Matt Mallory with PS&Ed. The class was not only informative, Matt made the class fun by providing real life scenarios with memory mechanisms so that we could better absorb the information and take it with us on our way. Even with COVID-19, Matt gave appropriate breaks and allowed us to take a breather from these masks. Matt is a very knowledgeable man and I will surely be back to attend more courses and use some of the services he has to offer. Thanks Matt! P.S. Good job on the Bad Dad Jokes! Made me laugh after a long day." ~ Heather H. of Bridgeport, NY

I was approved no restrictions by Judge Thomas J. Miller. Thank you for all your help. ~ Jodi W. from Syracuse about our “Proper Cause” Letter Writing Service

Approved no restrictions…

"PS&Ed staff were more than helpful in assisting me while I was applying for an upgrade to a pistol permit with no restrictions. Matt is extremely knowledgeable on gun safety, laws, and the 2nd Amendment. After a long 2 years of trying to obtain my carry permit, I received my full carry permit and I could not have done it without the confidence, expertise, and care of Matt and his team. He really cares about your interests and will not give up until your goal is achieved, or if all ideas are outsourced. What started 2 years ago for me as an interest in target shooting has become a desire to live a lifestyle in carrying responsibly, and to become a supporter in promoting change to some of New York's difficult laws on purchasing, acquiring, inheriting, owing, and possessing firearms. My advice to all for acquiring an unrestricted pistol permit is to enroll in the Handgun Safety and NRA Basic Pistol courses. Keep taking classes with Matt, you will learn so much about guns, safety, and federal and state laws. You will also learn how to properly react in threatening situations; if you ever have to draw a weapon. Be patient with your judge, and instructor do not give up if you are denied the privilege of having an unrestricted pistol permit. It is an honored achievement when you can obtain an unrestricted pistol permit on your own with the courteous help of an instructor, rather than applying though cronyism." ~ Brandon B. from Clay, NY about our "Proper Cause" Letter Writing Service and many courses

I received my full carry permit…

"Matt, you are a very talented young man. What a blessing to meet someone like you. God bless you in your business and in your life. Your classes were very informative and engaging. God bless you, brother. Hope to see you again sometime." ~ Ricky from Syracuse, NY about our Church Security and SABRE Red Pepper Spray Courses

Matt, you are a very talented young man.

"Excellent instruction. I have taken multiple courses from PS&ED; Article 35, SIMCO, USCCA, ETC… This not only helped get my restrictions removed but it provided realistic situational instruction as well as clear information regarding legal rights and responsibilities. This is NOT target shooting at the range. This is situational recognition, avoidance, engagement, legal ramifications, etc… I believe this is good experience for anyone wishing to carry unrestricted and I believe the judges look favorably on this type of instruction." ~ Paul from Liverpool, NY about many of our courses and helping to get his restriction removed

Excellent instruction.

"Thank you, Matt for all the great instruction. I am definitely going to be more aware and watchful. God bless you as you raise your two year old. What a wonderful thing you and your wife have done." ~ Diane about our Church Security Courses

I am definitely going to be more aware and watchful.

"You were informative and thorough, and entertaining at the same time. I took a six hour course and the time just flew by.

You are truly an amazing person!" ~ Lynn from Syracuse, NY about our Church Security Courses and SABRE Red Pepper Spray Course

You are truly an amazing person!

"I talked my self out of owning a gun for many years. I figured many of my friends carried pistols so why bother. These last few years seemed to unleash shooter incidents like I have never seen before. I also was confronted by a guy on a bicycle that came up to me while I was assessing a bees nest on the side of my house. It was September and not a soul was nearby that day living in a rural area with just a few homes around. That day no one other than me and that disheveled guy who demanded I get him a pad and pencil. In my sternest voice I said "that's not going to happen" Out of coincidence I just happen to be wearing my New York State Troopers Association shirt that I had bought at the New York State Fair this year. I didn't have my phone on me or anything at all. I went in the house to calm down and promised myself to always watch my surroundings and never become vulnerable again." ~ Joanne from Warners, NY about our FREE Active Shooter Seminar

I talked my self out of owning a gun for many years.

"I think all the classes help but what put it over the top was the letter you wrote for me.You said everything I wanted to say but did not know how to put into the correct words.

Thank you again and keep up the work." ~ Martin from Sodus Point, NY about our FREE Active Shooter Seminar

"Matt is a very qualified teacher. His knowledge and experience are evident in the classroom and on the range. In particular, the range portion of the concealed carry class was illuminating. Everyone got the chance to shoot from cover, shoot from different positions and even while on the move. These are things most civilians don't get the chance to practice with live ammunition locally. I definitely plan on taking the advanced concealed carry class next month. Thanks for the great instruction Matt!" ~ James K. from Syracuse about our USCCA Certified Concealed Carry Course

the concealed carry class was illuminating

It wasn’t boring or dry like you would expect…

"Called Matt for a private pistol shooting lesson. Settled on a date and time and proceeded from there. Upon arrival Matt introduced himself and we discussed my needs for the day which was better accuracy with my new pistol. Our meeting at the Syracuse Pistol Club was perfect as we both belong to the club. I couldn't have asked for a more personable and knowledgeable person. He identified my shooting problem and he was right on the button. Using his observations I was able to start hitting the target regularly. From start to finish I really enjoyed the lesson. Thanks Matt I enjoyed both the lesson and the knowledge passed on to me that day. Good stuff." ~ Jim from Clay, NY about our Private Lessons

I enjoyed both the lesson and the knowledge passed on to me that day.

"Very informative,knowledge of speakers very professional." ~ Mike from Syracuse, NY about our Article 35 Course

Very informative,knowledge of speakers very professional.

"The Knowledge base is well above what you would expect. When I went in, all I thought I would hear was do, this and don’t do that. The experience these instructors bring to the table is amazing. They kept us interested in what they were saying and made feel that they were not above us. Nor did they act like they didn’t think we deserve to be there. They told us the laws and the consequence, but also told us what our rights were." ~ Bill from Syracuse, NY about our Article 35 Course

The experience these instructors bring to the table is amazing.

"After taking your gun safety class I submitted my application for an unrestricted pistol permit. It was issued in March 2015 with no restrictions. My primary state of residence is Nevada where I have possessed a concealed firearm permit for the last 15 – 20 years. My second residence being New York where I have added 3 pistols to my permit. Keep up the good work, I have recommended you to many of my friends." ~ Rick from Manlius, NY about our NY Handgun Safety Course

Keep up the good work,

"I had a great time. It's been a few years since I went rifling, and my partner never had. We both had a blast shooting the zombies. I remember eagerly texting photos to my dad and uncle, showing off how well I shot, and both of them asking where was I shooting such neat targets. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants something a bit more intense than laser tag, even if they were a newbie to shooting. The hands-on instruction we got from Matt and others was phenomenal and really allowed me to enjoy the whole experience." ~ Daniel from Syracuse, NY about our Zombie Shoot

I had a great time.

"The Zombie Shoot was a educational experience. I would never shoot an animal, but I love target shooting. The Zombie part made it even more fun." ~ James from Buffalo, NY about our Zombie Shoot

The Zombie Shoot was a educational experience.

I am looking forward to the multi state course when I am eligible, & what a great idea is the try it before you buy it workshop. I plan on being @ both ASAP." ~ Neal from Dewitt, NY about our NY Handgun Safety Course

…seminars are real world, factual, & to the point.

"Everything was awesome and extremely informational. Best investment I could have made! The knowledge was top notch and every question asked there was always an intelligent answer that was said. Would and have recommended to anyone wanting to get their pistol permit or just gain knowledge about the subject. Will definitely be taking more classes." ~ Andrew from Oswego, NY about our NY Handgun Safety Course, Article 35 Course, SIMCO-2 Course, and Proper Cause Letter Service

Best investment I could have made!

"Matt's class was both educational and fun. When I signed up, my initial thought was that I dreaded sitting through a 4-hour class! However, once I was there, I felt involved and fully vested in the class. My dad, who served in the US Navy during WWII & taught me respect for all firearms as a young man, would have endorsed this class as well. Thank you & I am looking forward to additional classes in the future." ~ Steven from Liverpool, NY about our NY Handgun Safety Course

I felt involved and fully vested in the class.

"The class was great and contained lots of valuable information. I really loved your presence in the classroom and your passion for the subject matter.

I look forward to seeing you in the future!" ~ Andrew from Baldwinsville, NY about our NY Handgun Safety Course

Very informative & helpful…

"I've taken both a private lesson, and now the USCCA Basic Concealed Carry Firearms Course with Matt after today. He is an excellent trainer in the classroom and especially on the range during live fire. His extensive experience provides real life examples of the Do's & Do not's of laws, safety, and proper marksmanship techniques; Not just routine target shooting but real life scenarios all responsible permit holders need to know & practice, but can't always do so during routine range time at most clubs. All levels of experience need to take the many courses Matt and his staff offer. Highly recommend; well worth the cost." ~ David from Liverpool, NY about our private lessons and USCCA Certified Concealed Carry Course

He is an excellent trainer…

"Good course and good instructor." ~ Sean from Skaneateles Falls, NY about our NY Safe Boating Course

Good course and good instructor…

"Matt was fantastic! The sabre red class was my first class here so I wasn't sure what to expect. Matt made the information entertaining and educational. I learned a lot in the class. In fact, I've been working on my muscle memory and practicing using the pepper spray and how to move out of the way. I've already signed up for 2 other classes – the basic safety class – since I'm beginning the arduous process of getting my pistol permit, – and the article 35 class in June. If Matt is teaching these classes, then I know I will learn a lot and I'm really looking forward to them." ~ Christine from Liverpool, NY about our SABRE Red Pepper Spray Course

Matt was fantastic!

"I attended Matt's class on Pepper Spray recently and found it very helpful and informative. It was a good combination of classroom and practice so that I felt more comfortable actually using the pepper spray canister should I ever need to. Matt's classes are enjoyable with a relaxed atmosphere while at the same time much information is covered. I particularly liked the small class size as it allowed us extra time for practice. I would recommend classes with Matt and intend to take a few more myself." ~ CJ from Jamesville, NY about our SABRE Red Pepper Spray Course

…found it very helpful and informative.

"Matt, it was a pleasure meeting you and attending the Advanced Concealed Carry course. It is well worth taking, more for the knowledge that you provide but also for the critique that you provide your class with the errors that you found when we were shooting. You developed the course with an eye on visual variety and for real life scenarios. Look forward to taking another class. Thank you for an educational and fun day!" ~ Michael from Solvay, NY about our USCCA Advanced Concealed Carry Course

It is well worth taking…

"This was my first ever experience with "live pistols & handguns". I had taken the online course & was eager and excited but at the same time nervous. There was a lot to process and assimilate but Matt showed a high level of knowledge, experience and patience that translated into a comfortable level of confidence for me. He was there for me in every aspect of safety, proper range protocols, loading & unloading my handgun as well as proper stance, sighting & shooting it with a reasonable level of success. I came out of this class with exactly the experiences I wanted to safely handle my handgun in my everyday experience. I would highly recommend this Phase II class to everyone." ~ Ray from N. Syracuse, NY about our NRA Basic Pistol Phase II Course

This was my first ever experience…

"Great class! Highly recommended for anyone new to shooting." ~ Edward from Oswego, NY about our NRA Basic Pistol Phase II Course

Loved the class, the hand out was nice…

I will definitely sign up for more courses in the future and I would and will recommend your company to anyone who asks." ~ Jim from Auburn, NY about our LEOSA/HR218 Course
