OUTSTANDING class! The instructors were thorough, expert, and were able to teach a huge amount of book, technical, and practical learning with ease and clarity. Mike has truly lived up to his promise to be "part of a journey that doesn't end with this class, it just begins". Anyone interested in firearms should look to Mike and FTI!

My husband and I took the basic pistol class and totally enjoyed it! The instructors were excellent and extremely informative. And we had a good time!
~Donna (Waterbury - via facebook)

Just wanted to say again that you made a possibly dull class interesting and enjoyable. I learned a lot. The ability to shoot multiple caliber firearms was also a huge plus, not to mention the education in proper technique.
~Tim (Stamford)

Just wanted to say thank you for the awesome class and awesome experience at the range. You made me very comfortable- having an instructor who is so patient and soothing definitely made a huge difference for me. I appreciate your patience and overall calmness- you made this a wonderful experience for me.
~Tina (Hamden)

Thank You, Mike. You guys were all fantastic and I'd recommend you to anyone who asked. And I shall.
~Dave (Stamford)

Just finished the class today and I must say that the gentlemen conducting the class are the absolute BEST. They know their stuff and I was very impressed. If you're thinking about taking the class just sign up it's definitely worth it, you will not be disappointed.
~Sheldon (Hamden - via facebook)

Thanks for everything, the class was great and my wife really enjoyed herself and learning about handguns which was a bonus.
~Dennis (Stamford)

The home defense course was very valuable and informative. Instructors Mike, Matt and Robert were fantastic. Anyone who owns a handgun for home defense should take this course.
~Ken (Shelton)

Thank you! Really had a good time & felt comfortable... Hope to see you for a home defense class in the future!! & anytime I can I will refer you to people i know interested!!
~Lana (Bridgeport)

The home defense class was great! The combination of information and exercises were well-balanced and kept things moving so you stayed focused and interested all day. I would highly recommend this class for anyone planning a home defense strategy, as we covered much more than just the "last resort" of force. Michael, Robert and Matt answered questions honestly and directly. I'll definitely use information from this class for a long, long time.
~Marv (Woodbridge - via facebook)

Thank you very much for leading great class yesterday. It exceeded my expectations as a first time handgun shooter.
~Paul (Stamford)

I just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic class today! It was so thorough and covered a lot more than I thought it would. Getting to shoot the 4 different kinds of guns was a nice end to the class... putting our classroom learning to use at the range. Thanks again!
~Bonnie (Stamford)

Great Class. The trainers presented all the information with such expertise and fun!!
~Jen & Tom (Milford - via facebook)

~Steve (Hamden)

My husband and I had a great time. It was my first time ever using a firearm and the instructors made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions. We will definitely be taking another class!
~Kinley & David (Milford - via facebook)

FTI is simply the best. Professional, informative, and personable. If you want to own a gun, this course should be your first stop.
~Dr. Marc Lucente (Milford)

This class was excellent and I recommend it highly to anyone who has an interest in obtaining a pistol permit in CT. Instructors were thorough and interesting and extremely helpful at the range.
~Diane (Danbury - via facebook)

I just wanted to follow up and say thank for the seminar this past Sunday.
~Norberto (Norwalk)

If you haven't taken one of the training classes offered by FTI, then I highly suggest you do so. These guys are awsome and explain everything thoroughly and in detail. Thanks guys!
~Jeremy (Milford - via facebook)

Thanks again for an excellent course.
~Chris (Bridgeport)

I thought this class was amazing, it really made me start thinking about what I would do in the event of a home invasion.
~Matt (Darien)

I enjoyed the class last weekend and learned a lot. I look forward to other class offerings in the future. Thanks.
~Stephen (Stamford)

Just wanted to say the basic permit course was fantastic and all of the instructors were very informative and professional. The shooting of different handguns was a great experience and I learned a lot. Great job guys!!!!!
~Kenny (Shelton)

I wanted to send a quick note to say thanks for your time and for great training and instruction of the NRA Basic Pistol class. Your thorough knowledge made the class very enjoyable and it was clear you have a passion for shooting. We both felt extremely comfortable during the entire process and appreciated you taking the time to introduce us to several different handguns at the range. This was clearly above and beyond and it was greatly appreciated.
~Rich & Anne Marie (Southport)

Thank you for a very professional and informative private training lesson. I certainly liked the one-on-one informality and the level of detail. The extended range time was beyond my expectations, but I again learned a lot. The multiple caliber firearms used on the range gave me a good taste for each [firearm]
~John (Fairfield)

My wife and I took the private class with Mike, around the same time a friend at work took a group class. When he went to the range with 15 other people they shot 1 mag of 22 each. My wife and I got to shoot, 22s, 38 specials, 9mms, 45cals, and OH YA the 357 Magnum! IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY to take private class. We shot at least $50.00 worth of ammo. Mike made us feel at ease, he was very thorough and took extra time with my wife and has gone out his way to advise us on our first gun purchase. He has made us feel very confident with our decision to get our permits and will look to Mike for future guidance. I could not be more pleased and will be taking more classes with him.
Lou & Karin (Meriden)

Wanted to thank you for such a thorough and informative class. You went above and beyond the requirements to make my wife and I feel comfortable and competent handling firearms, while instilling a deep respect for them. We look forward to follow up courses soon.
~Phil & Catherine (Stamford)

Thank you so much for the wonderful class and being so patient and understanding with us. We really felt that you went above and beyond our expectations and will be sure to seek your services again. Also, we look forward to recommending you to friends and family who are interested in being responsible gun owners.
~Ryan & Victoria (Milford)

Thanks alot for the class we really enjoyed it!!!
~Daira (Hamden)

Thank you so much for such an amazing class yesterday...
~Katie (Milford)

I took your safety course this past Saturday and was extremely impressed with your methods. The class atmosphere, range time and your expertise in the field was far beyond that which I could have hoped for. You provided us with all the tools necessary to give a basic understanding of firearm safety and operation. I just wanted to thank you again for all your help in class and on the range.
~Ryan (Derby)

Great class yesterday. You presented so much information and in a relaxed and professional way. Learned more than I was expecting and really enjoyed the live fire at the range. Thanks again for all your help.
~Bob (Woodbridge)

~Lori (Norwalk)

"Thank you for a wonderful day today in your pistol permit class. I learned so many new things about pistols. For me it was a very interesting day and also shooting was great experience. Thank you again for opportunity to try all the different kinds of pistols and revolvers. I can't wait to buy my very own first gun!"
~Fred (Fairfield)

"We do want you to know that we had a wonderful day and came away with much more knowledge and respect for guns. I now feel very comfortable handling a gun, loading it, and I would enjoy cleaning it."
~Nancy (Easton)

"Thanks for a great class! I had a great time taking it. I was listening to the other group at the range and they were shocked that we were using all the various handguns. You were a great instructor and it was very hands on. I will recommend it to anyone wanting to take the class."
~Jay (Naugatuck)

"Thanks so much for teaching the class on short notice. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We're recommending all our friends and family to take your class now!"
~Mary (Derby)

"You are a fantastic teacher! You explained and demonstrated so clearly that all of us understood the point. It was wonderful. We want to thank you for sharing your love of firearms, your respect for them, and your enjoyment of them. It all came through in the class."
~Walter (Easton)

~David (New Haven)

"I thought I knew what I was doing before, but now I am truly confident. Thanks for a great class."
~John (Bridgeport)

"I took a class back in 2002 but never got my permit. I was reluctant to retake it but I'm glad I did. The last time I went shooting was during that class years ago and all we had was a junk 22. I had a great time shooting the variety of guns and appreciate the time you took explaining them all to us. Now I can't wait to buy a 1911 of my own!"
