I took the Practical Pistol Skills I training last weekend and I can't say enough good things about it. Chris and Dan are very knowledgeable but also very approachable, the class was extremely educational and I learned more than I even thought I would. I feel so much more comfortable with my firearm and I am inspired to continue training using the lessons I learned. Thank you!read more

I attended the Practical Pistol Skills I course and cannot say enough about Chris and Dan as instructors. The instruction was both extremely informative and presented in a practical way that anyone can engage with. It was helpful to me to learn some of the skills I thought I was comfortable with in a new way that made me rethink how to train more effectively. The malfunction portion of the course was so valuable. Thank you again to Chris and Dan, two first class instructors.read more

Thank you Chris and the MDTS staff for a wonderful, safe, and highly informative Practical Pistol Low-light Skills class. This is an excellent instructional block that builds upon the Practical Pistol Skills 1 class (also highly recommend) and adds the considerations needed to be safe in low and no light situations. Chris has a teaching style that is concise and avoids any skill that is unlikely to be of value under stress. Oh, and he’s a genuinely great person. He maintains a class cadence that maximizes the use of time while still allowing for adequate breaks. We started with some fundamentals, allowing the instructors to get a measure of our skill levels. We progressively moved into more difficult tasks, “layering” new skills on top of each other. By the end of the day, fundamentals, hand light use, malfunctions in the dark, barricades, threat assessment in the dark and several other skills were practiced. This may sound like a lot but you simply must go to an MDTS class to understand how effectively these programs are executed. Amazing! If the sun sets where you live and you have the basics down, take this class! Thanks again MDTS!read more

I took Chris’s Tactical Training Class 1 today. It’s a 9-4 session that flys right by. It was informative, interesting, challenging, and just plain fun. I was extremely satisfied by the amount I learned and was able to take away to train on my own. A class of 10 or 11 was supported by Chris and 3 others from his team who were all super nice and eager to teach. I’ve been licensed for 8 years or so but never had formal training. U know, buy ammo, hit the range. (Boring after 15 minutes). However the amount that I learned today makes me excited to head back to the range to practice the drills and lessons I was taught today. I will definitively be signing up for additional classes whenever they are down in Nassau County. For $200 it’s a no brainer.read more
