Great instructor. A wealth of information. Safety is always first!
GlennHighly recommend, you will not be disappointed. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed his course. I will definitely be signing up for further training classes with him.
RobertStephen (instructor) was very knowledgeable. Great control of the safety of the group. Good method/drills that help you build your movements incrementally until you feel ready a safe to start with live firing. Very practical applications that you hope you may never need to use, but with continued practice should be ready in case of an emergency. I look forward to take additional classes and build on the solid base he got me started on this first class.
HugoStephen Cohen is a great instructor. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone who is looking to get a concealed weapons permit.
GabrielGreat Course, first time I had ever had official training with a firearm, even though I have been shooting at a range for years. The instructor was able to pick up on each individual’s skill level and cater the training based on the experience of each participant. I highly recommend, but I advise to be knowledgeable about basic firearm handling first.
nancyTake any class with Tactical U they are all gonna show you something. Start slow!

ElaineI would like to thank Tactical U for an educational Concealed-weapons-permit training course that exceeded my expectations.
ZaheeraSteve is as great an instructor as I could’ve asked for. He was diligent in his follow up & accommodated my scheduling needs to a tee. He is super professional and very knowledgeable but at the same time able to break everything down for the layman.
TonyStephen, the owner, was a very personable and answered all of my questions by email very promptly. The location for the class was great, as we had out own outdoor range for the course. We also got trained by Stephen who is a tru professional. I made great progress in my shooting as a result and will definitely do again.
