The Concealed Carry Course for Beginners was outstanding. Highly recommend for anyone newer to CC! The instructor, Zach, thoroughly and clearly presented NYS laws regarding firearms and justifiable use of deadly force, as well as how to proceed in the aftermath of using your firearm. Resources and recommendation were given for choosing proper ammunition for each specific firearm. We then went through many dry fire drills, live fire drills, and invaluable scenario based training. I believe there is nothing else like this offered in our area. The price was completely worth it for the value and experience that Pugh Self-Protection and Combatives provides. Can't wait to attend more from their extensive class list in future!

Women's self defense was a fantastic class. Can't wait to do a part 2. I Highly recommend it for any and all woman! Zach Pugh (who is a Police Officer with years of training) was very informative and gave out all different types of situations in which self defense would be necessary and gave out plenty of ways to handle each. While it was a serious class for serious issues, it was a really good time. I Strongly encourage woman and others to reach out to him to schedule some training! He offers many other types of training as well such as hand guns. Check it out!!

Great self defense classes. It's a fun and easy way to gain practical self defense knowledge. Classes are reasonable and great for everyone.

I purchased a firearm on GunBroker from the owner and was beyond pleased with the experience. This was my first purchase from the site so I was cautious to begin with. Mr.Pugh answered ever question I had completely and in an extremely timely manner. We had a small issue as the firearm was used, that he went beyond what I would consider his responsibility to correct and satisfy myself as a customer. If he treats an online sale that way I feel I am missing out by not being able to take a class or purchase items locally from him. I would highly recommend dealing with this company online or Brick and Mortar if they are in your area.

Awesome class! The instructor was very well informed and loved learning all the different techniques to protect myself. Would highly recommend this class for any woman to take. Looking forward to other classes that Zachary will be doing.

The instructor is very knowledgeable and easy to follow and understand. I attended just a preview of his courses and learned a lot of helpful information in that short amount of time.

will be coming back again and again.
I scheduled a one on one and had a great time, would highly recommend, was very informative and the instructor was very clear with instructions and teachings
at the end if the one on one, we got to talking and I found out that he would be able to assist me in shipping a firearm to the FFL of someone i sold it to in a different state. not only did he offer to help with dealing with the shipping he did it at an amazing price compared to the hassle I would have had to do to legally ship a firearm to an FFL and again way better price.
this then lead to me mentioning i was looking to buy a Glock 34 Gen 5, without missing a beat he was able to help me with that as well again at an amazing price
100% recommend as an all in one stop for training and firearms needs

Zach was very quick in responding to my initial inquiry for "Maximizing Survival During an Active Shooter Incident" training course. He provided a thorough, easy to understand training proposal and follow up to any questions I had. Our employees really enjoyed the training and gained defensive skills that they did not know they could do by themselves before this session, it was interactive and engaging and will never be forgotten.

Awesome class! The instructor was very well informed and loved learning all the different techniques to protect myself. Would highly recommend this class for any woman to take. Looking forward to other classes that Zachary will be doing.

Pugh Self Protection and Combatives Active Shooter Training Courses provide the highest level training and subject retention using a combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience that delivers both theory and 'learning by doing'. The hands-on training creates an immersive experience in a real-life, controlled environment, providing context for a subject that is scary and hard to talk about. The hands-on activities help create a cohesive team mentality, which makes it not only an invaluable training in terms of skills learned, but also a great team building exercise, perfect for the workplace! Pugh's theory of Active Shooter Response is progressive, training employees to take their lives into their own hands, helping build confidence, and self-reliance. Unlike the antiquated Run-Hide-Fight, participants are encouraged to take meaningful action instead of relying solely on emergency responders which sadly, often arrive too late.
