Kevin was very insightful, consistent, and diligent in his ways of teaching with easy going straight to the point.Was also considerate of everyone’s thoughts, opinions, and choices. If he could give knowledgeable information it was honest and that... is greatly appreciated because that put my trust in him to get me through the course and understand to best of my ability what I signed up for. Really had to get a “dragonfly view”on everything I learned in the 16 hours and Kevin really made it easy to see that bigger picture.Thanks for all your time, effort, and kindness.Keep doing what your doing sir!read more

Fine gentlemen to do business with. Very professional and fast service. Found out he also is an accredited concealed carry instructor and also sells guns and not just an FFL acting as a transfer agent. If I find the need to buy another pistol,... revolver, rifle or shotgun I definitely will work with him again. Was a great experience working with this gentleman and highly recommend.Just made my second FFL transaction with Kevin and as usual fair price. Very friendly and highly professional. If I have the need will definitely use Kevin again. Highly recommend.read more

I’m so grateful that I took Kevin’s class! With the laws constantly changing, it was reassuring to know Kevin covered everything I needed to know to keep myself and others safe. I’ve owned guns for over 20 yrs and I actually learned a few shooting... tips from Kevin which resulted in getting best shot in class! That was also a very thoughtful treat to have trophies given to us. Keep up the great work Kevin and Thank you!read more

Kevin was concise,informative, and concerned that the entire class understood every aspects of the safety, responsibility, and liability of knowing the laws, and regulations of owning and carrying a firearm. Kevin keep us engaged and encouraged the... entire class to participate. He covered numerous subjects stating how our level of responsibility to carry escalated. Kevin conveyed such a pleasant and confident atmosphere that helped me overcome my fear of failing and a force that you believed in yourself. This class was so good I look forward to going to the range to practice. Aliceread more

Several months ago, I contacted Pew Pew Guru in regards to ordering a special gun. The gun was on backorder for several months. Kevin recommended another gun. Well she just got fired for the first time. Very very happy with the suggestion to switch... instead of waiting. Smooth trigger pull. Small kick but nothing im not used too. Im extremely happy with this gun. Im thankful I trusted my gut and went with Kevin's recommendation. I am very pleased with the level of professionalism Kevin showed in this situation. I will be ordering again and recommending him to my friends and family.read more

The class was great! I was dreading spending my weekend in classes, but I truly enjoyed it. I feel much more ready to not only conceal and carry, but also to be a responsible firearm owner. I did my research and read the laws before purchasing, but... some of the smaller details such as how often to clean it, should I store it loaded, how to transport it to the range, having liability insurance, and when and how to defend myself using a weapon were invaluable things to know! I especially feel empowered to protect myself at home, and while I hope to never need to use this knowledge, it is far less scary knowing I have a plan should the situation arise.You explain things on a level everyone can understand, and your ability to have patience when needed to attempt to change minds and attitudes was fantastic. I appreciated the practical examples and the mix of spoken lessons, videos, PowerPoints, and hands-on activities.It also feels great to have a resource for advice, training, and products that I can trust.read more

I came in this class nervous with high anxiety with gun safety. I needed to feel comfortable with safely handling and carrying a handgun.. The training overall was very good and Kevin's approach to CCW Training is very thorough. Can't say enough... good thing about Kevin and his knowledge. His class also provided insurance and the CCL application within those two days. I left the class feeling very confident and found a new hobby for the weekend. Thanks so much Kevin!read more

I am hearing impaired and wanted to learn gun safety and obtain my CC license but was always afraid to do so because I thought it would be such a hassle. I contacted Kevin and informed him that me and my cousin were both hearing impaired and we were... interested in join his class.. he was accommodating, kind and understanding. He made sure we understood fully, he made the class fun and we both walked away confident! We had zero gun experience and with his class we both passed our tests with flying colors! I personally think he is an AWESOME instructor. Most definitely will be referring him to everyone who asks me. I will be making sure I attend a couple more classes of his as well. Overall great experience!read more

First and foremost, in today's world and during these current times, referrals are about the only way to survive. It takes very little effort sometimes for one to appreciate good and honest business versus just being quick to write something bad... because, well.. most people to complain.I guess I will start with the latter, the way the world is nowadays is truly something to be recognized, it's not about paranoia but rather having your head on a swivel; being acutely aware to situational awareness - something that was taught as one of the key fundamentals in this class.Pew Pew Guru is far more than just a class, and like the owner and our instructor Kevin stated, "it's not how you take the test, everyone tests differently - it's about how you absorb the material as that is what matters."Upon walking into this class, I was promptly and courteously greeted by him as well as fellow colleagues, we took this course to have one goal in mind; to be safe and to know how to use certain tools when applicable and as a final resort. Kevin taught his class in such a way that anyone from novice to expert could easily digest and regurgitate the information with confidence.Pew Pew Guru doesn't just give you a book and in a sense tell you to 'read it' and send you about your way. No. There is a lot of gray area here, it's not all black and white. Kevin brings his prior experience in the Army as well as being an instructor the past few years to the table. His network is vast and his techniques are proven. If certain methods do not work for you in his class, he will work with you to see what may be the better or best way for you to grow. That is his passion and his drive. He understands you signed up for this class and he wants you to understand that he values the reason(s) as to why you did.The class material itself is something you may need to read twice, but again, it's something that everyone in the class puts an interactive team effort into collaborating. When it came to hands on proficiency, Kevin and fellow RSOs will ensure when you leave, you'll be even more confident than when you walked in. They offer various tools to ensure this.If you are even contemplating about a quality CCL/W class whether if you're a first timer or looking to renew, do not hesitate to contact Kevin and his team. Or, if you are looking for a nice deal on certain tools of the trade, he can offer that for you as well. There is no price on personal protection, the materials and knowledge given by Pew Pew Guru are truly invaluable. It is well worth the 8/16 hours that you are here.The bottom line is this - they say knowledge is power, but I say, knowledge and applying it is the truth strength. Kevin and the rest of Pew Pew Guru know just exactly how to make this niche 'industry' right. There are bosses and then there are leaders, Kevin led this entire class and with absolute perfection.read more

Kevin is a great teacher and a genuine stand up guy. The class was well paced for absorbing law and safety. I had no previous experience with firearms. After this 2 day conceal and carry course I felt confident enough to handle a handgun. We were... able to test a range of handguns throughout the course so I could figure out which one I felt most comfortable with. I found this very valuable in making my choice on what to purchase as my first firearm. It was nice to have a trusted source to help with the purchase and transfer as well. Excellent customer service throughout !read more

Just completed my 16 hour course with Kevin and it was amazing! Very knowledgeable and personable. Rather than short answers to questions, he will go into detail and make sure you fully understand the content. After I write this review, I will be... looking into taking more of his classes if he offers other levels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!UPDATE: 7/17/20I referred a customer to Kevin's CCL class, and since I loved it so much, I took the class with the referral. Also, I've done several gun transfers through him. The process is quick, easy and professional. I swear this guy is a one stop shop!read more
