    Allsafe handgun skill builder

    Have not seen too many reviews on the handgun skill builder course so I thought I'd ask here. I have heard great things about TJ of all safe defense. Has anyone had experience with this class? I will be attending tomorrow's event and just wanted to get anyone's feedback if they have done it. I'm excited for it. What can I expect?

    Will post my review after class.

    **Review**
    Location: burro canyon shooting range
    Date: 3/26
    Time: 9:30am-12pm
    Required:
    - handgun
    - holster
    - 4+ magazines (minimum 2 but you'll want 4)
    - mag holster
    - 300+ rounds of ammo
    - lots of water
    - if you are newer to shooting like myself get a mag loader. Loading 300 rounds is not only tedious but painful in new magazines.

    In the purchase email it stated most of that.

    Upon arriving to the shooting range, we didn't see any designation of the class, but it was ok, we just wanted in line like everyone else that day that was shooting in different groups etc, and the gentleman at the counter explained exactly where we would be. Each group is designated their own lot and we just hopped back in the car and drove up to the lot.

    The class is limited to I believe 15 shooters which I personally appreciated for the small group setting.

    We loaded up and TJ explained the safety first rule, the gun is always hot. Don't unholster your firearm unless you are on the line and told to.

    TJ's course teaches how to STOP an attack and quickly because your life depends on it. Everything we did was directed precisely and his team ensured we followed directions for the safety of ourselves and others.

    The course covered various beginner skill drills ranging from
    -Sight picture (if eyes closed can you draw to target)
    -Grip (exactly that, are you pushing/pulling the trigger)
    -Magazine changes (speed and tactical and the benefits of each)
    -trigger reset (firing once reset)
    -5 step draw process
    -retention fire ( shooting quickly once out of holster
    -ending with the zipper (putting all steps combined and final shot as headshot)

    The last half or quarter of the class was shooting on a one step left or right move to simulate moving away from the attacker.

    The class was so enjoyable that I would not hesitate to take it multiple times. In fact I may soon and bring my wife next time.

    TJ teaches in a fun and enjoyable manner. I have only taken this course with TJ but I am sure his other courses are just as good. But don't take my word for it. Get out there and sign up for one of TJ's classes at www.allsafedefense.com!

    Again thank you TJ for what you do I really enjoyed your class and I hope to take another soon.

        Just saw this or I would have said the same thing rcjackrabbit did. I have always enjoyed the classes I took from him.

          I've taken 2 classes with TJ and he's a great teacher and his staff are equally nice. I took the basic course and ccw. They were both great and fun. If you're taking the basic course you'll learn the fundamentals and at the end of the day you'll be running and gunning and it's timed. Have fun!

            TJ is one of the best instructors you'll ever meet. Take the class with confidence.

              The thing that I like about TJ is his humble manner. The man is a kung fu black belt and does not act tough or intimidating. I hate the whole macho tough guy vibe that some shooting instructors exhibit.

                Everything everyone has said has been correct. I really enjoyed the class and you are right TJ's character and personality are a pleasure. I will post my review above in original post.
