    My wife and I are just getting back into this world and lifestyle and felt it responsible to get as much hands-on training as possible. After some discussion with Ben at TSI, where he was very helpful and patient with our myriad questions, we decided to take this course as a first step toward becoming well-versed and competent handgun owners. While the course was “new” at the time we were very pleased with the content and structure of the day and appreciated the accommodation in time and attention given to us as somewhat “noobs”.Would recommend and will likely be taking additional courses as time allows.
