Sam and Jimmy, As you know, I attended your DSM Tactical training course last Saturday. I can not thank both of you enough for the excellent presentation and most importantly pointing out the subtle mistakes I made while I was shooting. The corrections you pointed out made a massive difference in my speed, accuracy and confidence too. My concealed permit was issued in 1965 and for 40+ years I thought I was doing pretty well. Was I wrong! The course and live fire scenarios corrected my "bad habits". I will highly recommend anyone who carries a concealed weapon to take the DSM training. This is the best thing I ever did in my many years of shooting. Thank you for the help and you'll see me at Tactical II.

It's one thing to shoot your gun at a target and something totally different when you are trying to shoot in a defensive situation. The DSM classes I have taken have given me an awareness and greater confidence with handling my pistol.  I would strongly recommend anyone who carries or owns a firearm to check out your training.

"Sam Hardy and Jim Gomenginger are superb instructors in the art of using firearms for tactical defense.  My tactical skills, especially tactical handgun skills, have been greatly influenced by these two men.  They have been a great resource for many defensive shooting students for several years here in the Rochester area.  Their workshops are a great value...you will learn a lot and develop highly effective shooting skills.  I highly, highly recommend them."

I found the DSM class to be very informative and a practical guide to firearms self defense. The drills provided an opportunity to become comfortable with using my personal weapon for defensive shooting. I was able to set up scenarios and practice techniques I learned in the class while target practicing on my own. Everyone who carries should take this course.

If you want to learn to shoot your weapon in a real world sense, you need to take some instruction with Defensive Shooting Management.  Sam and Jimmy can teach you what you need to know.  Not only have I learned very valuable techniques from them, I have entrusted the training of my children to them.  Their techniques and mannerism’s are equal to the best trainers in the nation, but they are available right here in Rochester.  Spend your time and money wisely with DSM.

Sam Hardy and Jim Gommenginger are excellent instructors at meeting the variety of skill levels within their firearms class.  As a young female with relatively little experience in the field, I was anxious about what their class could offer me.  My fears were immediately put to rest when Sam and Jimmy introduced themselves and started their instruction.  Their knowledge and experience were invaluable to giving me confidence and the ability to apply the new theory and techniques.

I have recommended the handgun training classes offered by Defensive Shooting Management (DSM) to my friends. My experience with them gave me improved skills, and refinements, all while having a very enjoyable day. Good people, good instructors, good value.
