Thomas, was very knowledgeable, he walked me through his defensive pistol course. He made me feel right at home.I feel more confident in my gun manipulations he allowed us to complete drills that you typically do not get to practice at the range. The whole time keeping a professional and safe environment. I look forward to taking future classes.

Alpha Koncepts Firearm Training is my number one choice for a quality firearm training experience. Thomas is very passionate and is always willing to share his knowledge and skills to ensure that his students understand the proper safety protocols at all times. He makes it a priority to point out things that require improvement by explaining things in a positive tone. This approach is also noticeable with his team of trainers. I will continue to register for advance firearm training classes with Thomas and his team.

Sign up for Alpha Koncepts Firearm Training classes. You will become a better firearm owner as a result.

Thomas is a knowledgeable and helpful instructor who prioritizes safe protocol and student growth throughout.

Much more confident of my own ability to put “hits on target” after taking his defensive pistol 1 and 2 courses. I’m happy with my training and hope to take more courses down the road.

I’m a repeat customer, which explains how I feel about what Alpha Koncepts has to offer. Thomas and his staff provide one on one attention, if needed. The course was exceptional, and more than I thought. It provided excellent techniques and situational awareness, which God forbid you will have to use one day. The courses also provided “dry fire” exercises that you can work on,

I can definitely say, much to my surprise, that my shooting improved throughout the day! I never thought I would be able to hit an 8.5 X 11 target from 20 yards (I’ve only been carrying since May 2022, and it’s now November 2022), but I was able to twice (usually at the range, I’m way off at 10 yards). I can also definitely say that I feel more confident conceal carrying.

Once again, Thomas is great, as is his staff. They are there to help you improve — you may be surprised at your results! I am definitely taking his courses again. There is always something that you can work on that you can’t in the range, and this provides the best opportunity.

Thom is easy to work with and flexible. If you’re not clicking with something he seems to be able to shift gears and find something that will work for you. He’s very student-oriented I’d say. No BS, no ego, and just cool to work with. I absolutely plan on doing more training w/Alpha Konccepts and Thom.
