| - Ok, I normally don't write reviews unless something is outstanding or really crappy. In the case of Southwest Custom Firearms, I say Outstanding! Why? Because of the Intro to Firearms class I took last night with John, the store manager.
I grew up in CA and have been very afraid of guns and never even considered touching one let alone buying one. Now that we're in AZ, the hubby wanted to get one for home protection. The only way I would do that is if I were comfortable with the gun.
John's Intro class has gotten me to that point and I am so thankful. Here's what was covered and why I think this class is a must for beginners.
1. First thing covered is a few AZ laws regarding firearms
2. Second is safety, safety, safety.
3. Simple, steb-by-step instruction on how to handle a few different guns (the common ones that most people have for home security). He doesn't give you a ton of rules of do's & don'ts -which you'll likely forget. Instead, just 3 simple rules. I like that. We dry-fired with 3 different guns.
4. He gives his suggestion for what gun would best suit your needs without pushing product.
After last night's class, I'm now ready to handle a gun at the range and practice. Which is another thing he stresses - practice, practice, practice.
Thanks John for helping me conquer my fear of guns!
