Education & Training

Salomon Firearms Training

1. All of our classes are 100% HANDS-ON TRAINING, engaging, with REAL GUNS. No fake plastic guns, BB guns, pellet/air guns, or laser training simulation substitutes. EVERY STUDENT gets to load and unload REAL FIREARMS during class.

2. Students receive INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION, ensuring that they understand and are comfortable with the material being taught. We are thorough, and do not rush the process. No one gets left behind. We ensure the success of every student and provide extra training if needed.       We Train To Standard, Not To Time.

3. We teach a variety of classes covering all skill levels, proficiencies, and aspects of self-defense. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or experienced shooter, we have courses for you. Our courses get you to understand safety principles to follow, what you need to know, how to perform the skills you need, why you are using specific techniques, how to shoot with speed and precision; when it’s legally, morally, and tactically appropriate to use your firearm or a particular tool/skill in self-defense.

Licensing & Certifications

12 CBPC

1. Our MA Certified Basic Pistol Course (LTC-017) course is a 1 day class that qualify students to apply for their License To Carry / Firearms Identification Card (LTC / FIDC).

2. Our SFT Basic Pistol Shooting (BPS) course goes much further in-depth in safe handling and shooting fundamentals; and expands the number of jurisdictions you can apply to carry in, that require live fire in order to receive a gun permit.

3. Our Boston Moon Island Practice Qual (BMIPQ) course consists of a private lesson that replicates the official qual, so students get to practice exactly what they will be graded on by the Boston Police Department. By training with the same .38 special revolver and target found in the official qual, students confidently pass the shooting exam, scoring far above the minimum score of 210/300.
