Training Schedule

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.

Highly recommended

Excellent knowledgeable open to any question instructor will work with you in most situations thanks a ton Rick!!!

After being both a combat veteran and an avid shooter/collector Rick was constantly teaching me new things that I didn’t know. Most importantly, a lot safer techniques than I was using before. Would definitely recommend this class to someone who is experienced or just learning as well. I will for sure be taking his other classes too.

Rick is impressive with his knowledge on laws, proper handling, and teaching methods. Although I'm not too surprised after seeing his millions of awards and certifications! His price is ulta-reasonable and you get much more than you pay for when you take his class. Now my whole family is going to be going through him. Thanks Rick!!

Excellent training, Rick was all in all very professional and easy to talk to for any of my questions I had . He had a way with his class to make you feel comfortable! I would normally never give 5 stars due to over rating but Rick definitely deserves this one !!! If you are looking to be trained properly this is your man ! He was able to work with my schedule as well. Which is important for a business man like myself! Thanks Rick!!!

Rick is a amazing instructor. I felt I had a good idea of how to handle my weapon, turns out I didn’t. I had lots of bad habits which Rick corrected and working with him I’m very confident handling my weapon now. He’s a funny guy but very serious when it comes to safety and training. If you’re really serious about learning to shoot and handle your weapon he’s the guy. He’s pretty passionate about this he offers loads of information through his emails to help further you’re practice. I still need lots of training but he’s really good at knowing when you’re ready to move forward or not, if you’re not ready he’s not moving you any further and I like that because it ensures me I am getting the proper training and not just taking you’re money!

This was a GREAT class for every level of gun owner. I learned way more than I expected. The one to one instruction at the range was exceptional. Rick stressed safety first and went over foundational items such as the correct way to hold your firearm as well as other lessons he goes over in the class. I highly recommend this course to any shooter no matter the amount of experience one has. They will definitely come away from this course a better and safer shooter.

This was a great class! Rick is thorough in his teaching and he has a vast wealth of knowledge about all facets of concealed carry law and, more importantly, gun safety. I have never met anyone with his extent of knowledge, and I used to work in a law enforcement agency. Even if you are experienced in handling firearms, you will learn a great deal from Rick in correct procedures. I plan to take additional classes from Rick in the future.

Absolutely top notch. Rick teaches in a practical way giving real life scenarios throughout the course. His attention to detail and safety allowed my wife and I to feel confident handling a firearm. Rick has a passion for firearms and his training is first class, worth every penny.

This place is great, and the instructor/owner, Rick, is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in all of the classes he teaches. I like many people have used firearms before taking his class, but after today I realize the knowledge I previously had and was using as my guide was way out of date and some of my firearm practices were not safe. I truly feel educated and comfortable enough to carry a firearm and use it in any situation after what I've learned and been refreshed on today. Whether you feel seasoned or brand new to firearms take his class you will not be disappointed.

As good as I could have hoped. Rick is an excellent instructor. He takes gun safety very seriously and really knows his stuff.

Personally, I regret not choosing a different person to have this training with. I left Rick's class angry and insulted. When asking about my background, he made it clear that he had no respect for military training, and, from then on, it seemed like it was his mission to assert himself as the authority on the subject and that I did not know jack squat. His training on how to handle a revolver was totally asinine. Several questions on his test were totally unrelated to gun safety or Colorado gun laws. Basically, I paid $65 to be insulted and learned very little in his class. His people skills really need a lot of improvement. (This is from an anonymous account to protect my identity).

This is not your average CCW certificate mill like so many others in the state. Rick quickly establishes his credibility by demonstrating his impressive knowledge and experience as he walks through everything from caliber and round type to Carry do's and don'ts, all with an emphasis on safety. I assumed that this class would merely be a rubber stamp en route to gaining my permit, as I considered myself to be fairly fluent in firearms. I was wrong. I learned a ton of information and received insightful and thought provoking anwsers to all of my questions. My range time with Rick was equally beneficial as he was quickly able to diagnose my opportunities for improvement. Carrying a gun is an enormous responsibility which demands that you are informed and prepared. Whether you're brand new to firearms and/or have made the descision to carry, Rick should be your first phone call.
