Free Beginner Gun Class in Miami

Never held a gun? This is where to start. A beginner class covering the fundamentals of handling a firearm, taught by certified instructors in our classroom at our Miami facility.

What the class covers

  • The three universal rules of gun safety
  • The parts of the gun, and what each one does
  • How to lock the slide to the rear
  • How to engage and disengage the safety
  • How to load and unload with dummy ammunition
  • How to use your sights and aim
  • How to grip the firearm and get into a proper shooting stance
  • How to deal with common malfunctions
  • Dry firing

You handle a real firearm with dummy ammunition throughout — there is no live fire in this class. By the end you will have everything you need to go to the range and take your first shots.

What to know before you come

  • Bring a photo ID
  • You must be 18 or older
  • No gun needed — we provide the firearms and all the gear.

Who it's for

Most of our students had never touched a gun before their first class — men and women from 18 to 80 years old. We also train law enforcement, military and other professionals, but this class is built for complete beginners.

Some people come after a frightening experience, some after an accident at home, some because a spouse is uneasy about a gun in the house, and some because they are about to buy their first gun and want to be familiar with one first. All of those are good reasons, and all of them start here.
