Reputible Carbine/Pistol Training?

Joshluseal · Sep 3, 2014

Does anyone know where I can find some reputable civilian friendly carbine/pistol training. I have emailed two companies now that have been mentioned on this forum with no response. I know...people will say "why don't you call them?" My response..."Why do they put an email address to contact on their website if they are not going to respond or are too busy to respond? I know this may sound a bit crabby, but my question is serious. I really don't have the money or time to fly or drive hundreds of miles to take a Costa Ludas or Vickers class. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :banghead:

CCJA is reputable, but yes, I had to call them. In fact, I had to call every training outfit to get a response, none responded to their emails. I agree that if they have an email address, they should answer it, but for whatever reason, they don't seem to.

Northern Red is good to go, and will be in Uniontown, Pa in a week and a half.

Thank you for the responses thus far. I will look into those suggestions.

I don't know who you guys called, but I can tell you that I check email about our pistol classes on a daily basis. I don't think anyone emailed me that didn't get a response in a reasonable time.

What sort of training are you looking for? I have taken it upon myself to write after action reports on 6 classes I have taken this year, and I took some classes last year as well. Feel free to PM me.

One note: it has been my experience, like you, that a lot of trainers aren't super responsive to emails. Usually, I chalk it up to them not being super tech savvy AND being very busy.

I have taken CMCT's Carbine l & ll courses-Top Notch. I have owned an AR for many years and thought I knew how to operate the weapon. I found out very quickly that I knew very little. Center Mass Combat Tactics Instructors took this old man and taught me everything I needed to know how to run my weapon and well. From history, parts, ammo and live fire these classes are great. They are one of the IPs here on the forum and they have a new web site up plus a Facebook page. Check them out. Chris

Their Combat Handgun classes are nuts. I will be taking their Advanced class in a couple of weeks. You will do things with a handgun you never thought you do by the end of the day.

Where are cmct's classes held?

pwoolford · Sep 4, 2014

Not far past Bel Air off Rt 1 in Street, MD.

I second everything Chris said above. CMCT is top notch and I love taking their classes.

Just for clarification, the name is Center Mass Combat Tactics.

Their classes sound good but darn that is another haul from Annapolis.

You do know there are no places in AA county or even close that a gun course that teaches shooting while moving can be held, right?

slybarman · Sep 4, 2014

So it seems.

Consider shooting IDPA at AA Fish & Game....

Trust me when I tell you that these classes are well worth the drive and this is probably the best advanced training in Maryland with no exceptions.

I already do, but thanks for the thought.

Thanks. I'll probably give it a try at some point. The drive is about the same as getting to CCJA. Time is just awful tight these days between work, house, kids activities, etc. A full day of training plus three hours of driving is a lot right now. I do it when I can, but every bit closer helps.

Yeah, I can definitely understand how much life seems to get in the way of us doing what we love to do. I hope you get a chance to train with those guys though, they even have moving targets to shoot at. I've done the CCJA thing as well and that is good training also, they are both very different and if you can get the time I would encourage you to get to both.
