How to Choose a Firearms Training Class and Spot Bad Instructors | Gun Talk Nation

How do you choose a good firearms training class, and what should you do if the instructor is unsafe, unhelpful, or simply wastes your time? In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, Ryan Gresham and Chris Cerino break down how to evaluate pistol and carbine classes, what bad training looks like, how to test your gear in class, and why tight groups, reliable equipment, and practical gun handling matter more than internet myths.

Train with Chris at Range Ready Studios.
