L.A. COUNTY CCW (PRIVATE TRAINING)

Why I ended weekend group classes, and only offering Private classes:


Everyone wants to do bare minimum to carry a gun in public -- no one really wants to learn how to shoot.


Because our quality private training costs more than other trainers, ask about our interest free financing.


Returning LAPS clients get 20% discount, and Family/Friends can join the training to learn the same advanced skills for $250/person.

MORE THAN A CCW CLASS -- A MASTER CLASS IN ADVANCED SHOOTING PERFORMANCE

We are a Los Angeles County authorized training provider for the following departments (and any agency that accepts our CCW training):


Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD), Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Alhambra, Arcadia, Azusa, Baldwin Park, Bell Gardens, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Claremont, Culver City, Downey, El Monte, El Segundo, Gardena, Glendale, Glendora, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Irwindale, La Verne, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Monrovia, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Pomona, Redondo Beach, San Fernando, San Gabriel, San Marino, Santa Monica, Sierra Madre, Signal Hill, South Gate, South Pasadena, Torrance, West Covina, Whittier

Tom is very knowledgeable and provides great insight on CCW training."  - Dr. Jeffry Phillips, LAPD Commanding Officer 


  • Majority of initial training (12 hours) and all 8 hours of renewal training at private outdoor range, not the classroom, to learn advanced, realistic shooting skills, that can't be taught at public indoor ranges.
  • Private Outdoor Range & Air-Conditioned Classroom both conveniently located in Azusa.
  • Hot lunch provided on Day 1 of initial training & drinks and snacks included both days.
  • Skills taught go beyond just passing the basic qualification. I teach advanced skills like holster draw, how to shoot sooner without over confirming sights, rapid fire while still being defensively accurate, clearing malfunctions, one-handed shooting & more.
  • An appropriate IWB/OWB holster required and primary gun must be a semi-automatic pistol to keep up with the group class. Revolvers are only allowed as additional guns for the CCW qualifications.
  • Timed shooting drills to simulate shooting under pressure and taking your shooting ability to the next level.
  • Lecture emphasizing a defensive mindset and critical decision-making to avoid bad situations in the first place, with a firearm as a last resort whenever possible.

BOOK 16 HR Initial training

8 HOUR RENEWAL ($1200)

*Returning LAPS client: ask us for 20% discount code*


Your 8-hour renewal training in 1 day.


Most renewal clients I've had never learned safe, efficient holster draw or how to shoot fast while being defensively accurate in their initial training.


If you do not have advanced skills to prevail in a life and death situation, you're not only walking around in public kidding yourself, but also a liability to the rest of us in the general public.


All 8 hours is live fire at the range, zero classroom to get your shooting skills from basic level to advanced level as a defender.


8hr Live Fire ($1200)

Accuracy & Best Practices, Holster Draw, Speed & Performance Shooting, Clearing Malfunctions, One Handed Shooting & CCW Qualification


Location: Burro Canyon Shooting Park


Family/Friend discount: This is the same curriculum as our Pistol 201: Speed & Performance. If you have family/friends who want to learn the same advanced skills, they can join you at $250/person.
