Far and away the most valuable and enjoyable training I’ve ever had. Jim is the real deal who’s got the experience and knowledge to really help out. I’m grateful I got to spend the day with him and his crew and will definitely be back soon!
Have taken more than one of his Pistol classes including my CCW and learn something every time. Improved my Technique and performance in competitions. Thank you guys again for everything.
From the moment you step into the class Jim makes you feel comfortable and confident in what Jim is teaching. He makes the class fun while teaching critical information. I look forward to more classes and increasing my comfort and skill. Thank you Jim for what you do and I look forward to the next class.
Jim can break it down and teach you how not only to defend yourself but protect your loved ones as well. Top tier, elite, highly trained professional, who is one of the most real, and humble individuals I have ever met. Any one of Jim’s classes has the potential to change your mindset. To say I recommend him is an understatement. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
I live in Washoe county and had many instructors to choose from for my CCW class, but I saw Jim Erwin’s website and decided to go with him. I couldn’t have been happier. Jim is a very good instructor, he’s funny, and he obviously knows as much as anyone. I’m looking forward to taking some private classes with him soon. I can’t imagine there being a more knowledgeable teacher in the area.
