As a woman, getting into firearms can feel a little intimidating, especially when you’re not sure where to start. I’d fired shotguns and pistols before, but I never really understood all the moving parts. That’s where Rick came in. He was incredibly patient and explained everything clearly without ever making me feel out of place. I took the Fundamentals class and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to build confidence and truly understand how to handle a firearm safely. The range itself was great, and I especially appreciated the one-on-one instruction. Rick’s extensive knowledge and emphasis on safety made me feel completely at ease. I walked away not only more confident, but genuinely excited for my next lesson. Can’t wait to keep learning!

I wholeheartedly commend Rick for his exceptional teaching abilities and extensive knowledge. He patiently ensures a thorough understanding of the material, making his class truly enjoyable and highly recommendable. Thank you again, Rick!

Rick was one of the best , he was very knowledgeable , well Coordinated & Interesting, he was a GOOD instructor.

I was lucky enough to be able to take the Concealed Carry class alone with Rick. From the very beginning he made me feel comfortable. The whole class he was able to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. I brought my own gun, so he taught me very specific things about it. One thing that made me feel comfortable, is that he wants me to practice the proper and safe way to handle the gun before we go out to the shooting to practice. That's the most important thing, safety! I would recommend any course Rick has to offer, especially for any woman! Thank you Rick, for the education and comfort I will forever have and will grow on!

I have very little experience with guns and went to Rick for one-on-one training on 2.17.25. I had a bad experience with a previous trainer and was worried this would be the same, but Rick was incredible. Not only is he an expert in his field, he is also genuinely kind, thoughtful, patient, and wise. I learned so much about guns, gun safety, and laws in just 4 hours to where I felt comfortable going to the range under his supervision. I was awe-struck by the experience and I highly recommend working with him. Rick is the real deal.

The instructor "Rick" was very professional, knowledgeable and provided an entertaining course as well as plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get the full breath of information from the experience. Ill be back to HaveGunWillTrain!

Rick is a patient and knowledgeable instructor. Taking this class was great exposure for someone getting the basics of carrying in Colorado. If you do not have your own equipment he provides everything you need with his training. You receive a packet to take home and he allows you to connect with him to stay current on all information. He offers many services including shopping and practice time. I was very comfortable with the environment and information shared. Thank you for your patience and sharing your experiences and knowledge.

Rick’s concealed carry class is outstanding! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to answer any questions you may have, no matter how big or small. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about educating people and helping them feel confident and informed. His dedication and enthusiasm make the class not only informative but also enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent instructor who truly cares about his students!

Straight shooter. I appreciate his teaching style and real-world perspective. He prepared us for real life situations and made sure we did in fact understand the severity of being a gun owner. Having the opportunity to handle a real weapon safely was my favorite part of the class. I wanted to be comfortable picking up a gun…I left the class achieving that and more. Highly recommend.

Took his classes 2 times now… training was just Ok…he raises his voice to you when you ask a question and swears to you…and has no patience with his students…left both times pissed off and stressed out…and god forbid your not a Republican because he makes it political too…and if you bring a gun to class he doesn’t like he calls you and your gun down…Wouldn’t take his class again if it was free….

Rick is a very thorough and detailed teacher. Gun basics and safety were always forefront in his discussions. I will have gun and travel back for more training.

Rick is verry knowledgeable and thorough. his instruction is not boring at all, he keeps you engaged and did not belittle me for my lack of knowledge, instead he is willing to teach and is verry good at it. I have always known gun safety is important and in the first three minutes I was made aware of a verry key component of safety that otherwise I would have overlooked. because of the verry valuable time I spent with Rick I am now a safer more responsible gun owner. I will recommend this class to my friends, family and anyone willing to learn from the best!

The class was great and fast and he did fantastic instruction making it easy to understand while absorbing the information completely as needed plus was a really straightforward gent and I am looking forward to more classes from him again in the future.

Great class with a great instructor. Answered all my questions and opened my eyes to some safe handling when I thought I was pretty safe i could see the areas I can and need to improve on I highly recommend

He requires a 4 page test at the end of his class which I’ve never heard of anyone else requiring so be ready for that.

Rick is a very knowledgeable instructor when it comes to all types of firearms. He holds a very good class and makes sure you are ready for the real world when it comes to having a Concealed weapons permit.

Enjoy the class might even take an instructor class in the future. Very respectful guy Rick is...

Rick is a phenomenal instructor. Knowledgeable and engaging with his students, Rick has set up a curriculum that keeps the energy level up while still getting the information across in a manner that is easy to understand and assimilate. He makes sure that his students understand the material in a given subject prior to moving on to the next section. Within his class is also an opportunity to actually be "hands-on" with different firearms so as to see the differences in handling. Granted there are commonalities to handguns, but Rick makes sure to give as much attention to their differences as he does their similarities so as to make sure that the student feels comfortable with handling a firearm. Abundantly knowledgeable, good natured and engaging, I would unequivocally recommend Rick for your higher learning considerations with firearms. Thank you for the opportunity to learn in your classroom Sir!

Rick did a great job training me and delivered the information in easy to understand terms for a beginner. Very patient and personable. Easy to schedule and good communication throughout the process. I trust his expert advice and will return again in the future for additional training. Highly recommend his classes. Also, he was able to use his jewelry making talents in addition to providing the training, and repair a turquoise necklace to perfection. And, at no charge. Simply amazing!!

Just took Handgun Concealed 1 with Rick. Very informative class. The laws of the state when carrying a handgun were covered very well. The class was also very hands on with the manipulation and safety handling of firearms. Recommend for anybody to take this class. This class will show you, “you don’t know, what you don’t know”.

Rick is an obvious professional, and knows what he is talking about. The class ran six hours, but was so interesting (and eye-opening) that it felt much shorter.

I took this class 10 years ago and thought back then it was awesome. 10 years later I really didn’t see the need to retake at first. Now after taking it again I’m glad I did I got a big wake up call to the new laws and regulations taking place. The hands safety training is always a nice way to end the class. Thank you Rick your knowledge and expertise .

Rick did a great job teaching the training class I was in to get my Concealed carry permit and is pro 2A.

Very great informational class

I signed up to take one of Rick’s classes, and it was definitely the best route for me. I think gun safety is especially important, and Rick was in the same boat. The class is probably double the time you would spend in a class at a hotel or Sportsmans Warehouse, because you look at different guns, talk about their uses, effectiveness, as well as proper use and technique for loading and reloading. He also discusses the various state laws and what you need to know up to the most current date using links he provided to me in class. After the 4 hours of learning, Rick and I discussed setting up a later date and time to practice shooting because this class comes with an hour of shooting instruction as well. His class is not expensive, as it was probably the most I learned for $65. Rick is serious about what he does in teaching gun safety and training, and there is no one else I would want to learn these things from. If gun safety is not important to you, I wouldn't recommend this class and would naturally assume you will go get necessary permits from a random workshop which might not even require you to hold a gun throughout the entirety of the class. I would recommend this class to anyone serious about learning the fundamentals, being safe, and all of the laws that govern gun laws, as well as how/when they can be used.

I really enjoy shooting with Rick because as an extremely busy single mom he has a flexible schedule that allows me to still schedule and hour with him whenever is best for me to shoot at the range and I can still be done in time to get back to my kiddos. I like how he coaches you and trains you to shoot safely and correctly five stars I recommend him! I also like that if you don't have a gun he will let you use one of his!!

5 stars….. only because 10 isn’t available. Rick made this class relatable and made me think about situations that I need to be prepared for. I was worried prior to taking the class that it would be boring and I would be falling asleep. Not the case. Felt like I was talking with a friend. I also work a 9-5 m-f job and when I was looking around most classes available were during working hours. I called Rick and he worked with my schedule to make sure he could accommodate me. Highly recommend

Rick's class is the most comprehensive CCW class I've taken. It's a great value because it covers so much information and offers "hands on" training. I've taken a CCW class previously and it was a disapointment. We were in a packed hotel conference room, had no hands on opportunities, and the presentation was bare bones. Rick took time to give detailed answers to all questions and encouraged an open dialogue. I highly recommend this class!

Really great instructor and class.

This is the class you need to take! Do not go anywhere else! I had been offered a concealed carry course through the local big box store but they did not have a date that worked for my schedule. I did a little search on google and found Rick. I am so lucky to have found him! The course was highly informative, interesting, and well presented. The hands on portion was eye opening! The tips and tricks were invaluable for not just handling a gun, but handling one safely. I will be taking more courses with Rick to gain the confidence needed to protect myself and my family in the safest way possible. If you are on the fence about where to take classes, this is where you need to be.

I recently took a firearm training course with Rick at Have Gun Will Train Colorado and I was thoroughly impressed with the instruction I received. Rick was knowledgeable, patient, and made the learning environment safe and enjoyable. The course covered a wide range of topics, including basic firearms safety, handling, and all local and state laws. I feel much more confident and comfortable with my firearm now. I highly recommend Rick at Have Gun Will Train Colorado to anyone looking to improve their skills, or learn more about firearms.

This was a very thorough course.

Oriented towards safety.

Rick is a great instructor, his course was great not only for beginners, but taught us veterans a few new concepts as well. If u want great instruction and a few laughs thrown in, definately give Rick your business.

The best class I have ever taken. He knew what he was talking about an how to properly handled any firearm. He went above and beyond my expectations, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Showed more details about my own weapon and capabilities that I never knew. Is safety and detail oriented during his training. Recommend for all families to attend.

As a combat veteran I highly recommend Rick Sindeband as a firearm instructor. Rick took the time to answer every question I had during the class. Rick also gave the class some great local and National resources.

Rick is an incredible professional in his field. My boyfriend and I signed up for his firearm safety class, and we left having learned so much more than we thought we would!! I highly recommend Rick's classes, and my boyfriend and I will be back!!

As a woman with no previous firearm experience, I was nervous about taking this class. But Rick was fantastic and I left feeling much more confident and safe around firearms than I expected to! The class is affordable and very detailed, and I will be taking more!

Rick is a very experienced and knowledgeable person, you can tell he has alot he can teach a person. i enjoyed the classes alot and plan on taking more classes from him. the only reason i didnt give 5 stars is because he never followed up for the range time that was supposed to be included but its not really that big of a deal im sure he's been really busy and hes only one person with countless students! so i can understand that its easy to forget some things but solid 4 star rating for sure

George Comerci This course was fantastic and Rick taught it well. I was particularly impressed by the emphasis placed on safetyand proper choice of holsters, etc. I am not a novice shooter but learned a great deal that I believe will enable me to be a more competent user of my firearms. I was also very impressed with the detail spent on scenarios for actually using a firearm in self defense. Rick taught the principles then challenged me with scenarios which he then discussed I also learned a lot about choice of rounds, their characteristics., etc. I would highly recommend this course both to the novice and the more experienced shooter.

First time taking a CCW class. Rick is an excellent instructor and has a vast swath of knowledge. He goes above and beyond state training requirement and makes for a very enjoyable class.

Had a scheduling issue that was worked out. Rick is very knowledgeable and works with everyone in the class to make sure that all rules and tactics are fully understood and achievable. Great job Rick, I would recommend to anyone that wants to learn gun safety in general or concealed carry to contact Rick to learn proper techniques.

Rick was a great instructor and was very knowledgable. I really enjoyed his class and I learned a lot from Rick. I went in knowing some of the laws and came out knowing a lot more and learning more about safe handling of a firearm. He was patient and he meet everyones needs in the class. I would Highly recommend his class to anyone that is looking to get their CCW certificate. You will walk out more comfortable knowing the laws and able to handle your handgun safely.

As an inexperienced shooter, I appreciated all of the knowledge and teaching Rick provided. It was such a valuable experience.

Rick is a great instructor and is very accommodating! Great class! This was my second time taking a concealed class and I learned so much more in this class taught by Rick! Thank you so much for all of your help!

Great course! Whether you’re experienced or completely new to firearms...you will learn something. There’s not many people on this earth with Rick’s knowledge, experience and credentials. The course covers what you need for your CCW plus everything from safety to self-defense law. There is an emphasis on safety and proper Administrative Gun Handling. You will learn how to properly load a magazine, how to safely hold and handle a handgun, how to chamber a round and how to safely check the firearm is not loaded.....plus a bunch more. Live fire training is included (usually on a separate day) so you can take the course, purchase a firearm, then get trained how to use it. We are lucky to have this in Pueblo.
