I recently had the pleasure of taking the New York State Firearm safety course with C&M Defensive.
Over the years I have taken a number of these classes as I'm licensed in 8 states to conceal carry. Never before have I felt compelled to write a review however this course was head and shoulders above any other I have taken. Claude and Michael provide a comfortable and inviting atmosphere in which to learn. Their knowledge, expertise and special brand of humor is unsurpassed as they managed to keep everyone engaged for 16 hours. The class contained students of all different levels of experience yet everyone in the class felt the lessons were specifically tailored for their needs.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get a CCW or just purchase a firearm in NYS.
Thanks again guys. Great job!

A+ ! A+ ! A+ ! !!! CM DEFENSIVE DELIVERS IN EVERY WAY!!!
I sought them out to receive government approved training needed for certification.
They delivered on all the required components but SO MUCH MORE! They care about making you safe not just about collecting fees.
My experience for the last couple of decades has been out of the areas of self-defense so I might qualify as worse than uninitiated.
Of course, they present the required curriculum. The real driver for my positive review is how they meet AND EXCEED their obligation. Without wasting time and without feeling rushed, they proceeded to efficiently deliver the class every practical interactive way possible with all the professionalism needed. The most satisfying aspect of this informative and necessary training class is that I came away with the sense that close family, perhaps caring uncles, delivered the sessions for my personal welfare. If you seek what they provide, I urge you to get it from them!
