Practical Arms

BEWARE — I was given a gift certificate for their ladies only handgun class. They basically took the money and ran because not only do they NEVER offer the course, but they don’t respond to calls or emails. Very bad business, I’ve submitted a complaint to BBB.

I had a great experience for the concealed carry course. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. The lecture portion of the course was very informative and did not seem nearly as long and dreadful as it could have been considering that it was an all-​day course. These instructors seem to have a true passion for what they do and will take the time to ensure that you are comfortable with not only handling a firearm, but also that you are knowledgeable about the legal aspects of owning one. They also offer private lessons and various skills classes including cleaning the firearm, tactical, basic shooting, etc.
The range location that I attended was in Concord and it is an outdoor set-​up. The set-​up is very basic, but more important is the hands-​on instruction that is provided. Even though I brought my own firearm on both occasions that I have gone, they offered to give me a brief rundown of the mechanics of my gun. During my actual range time they were helpful in providing tips to improve my accuracy and for handling the firearm. I certainly look forward to setting up a small group for private lessons here in the near future.

I took my concealed carry class (CCH) with the team at Practical Arms, what a great day. Professional, relevant instruction from active law enforcement professional, professional firearms instructors etc… I attended the class to get my certificate to apply for the NC concealed carry permit, but I left class with so much more. Most importantly I have a greater respect and understanding of my rights and responsibilities as a gun owner. I left feeling more confident in the operation of my firearm and how to safely handle and care for it.
Will be heading back for some of their more advanced classes. Great team of professionals.
