Hey okies, hope everyone and their families are safe and doing well during the shut-in.

My parents just bought their first handgun for home defense and self protection. They're in their 60's and have little handgun experience.

I have given them the basics, but I'd still like professional training for them.

Who would you recommend for pistol basics training in the OKC area? They live near Moore but are willing to go to Edmond, Yukon, Shawnee or wherever they need to for good training.

Thank you!

I believe that H&H and Wilshire Guns both do classes.  Out of the two I think Wilshire would be the better choice mainly because I'm familiar with one of the trainers.  He's a good guy.

Wilshire has a very nice range which is air conditioned.  The range at H&H is not air conditioned and if it's anywhere near warm outside it's miserable inside the range itself.  It's hard to teach folks right when sweat is burning your eyeballs.

Wilshire has courses from first time shooters all the way up.

I don't work for them or have any affiliation with them in case it sounds like I'm shilling for them.

If it were my parents, that's where I would recommend they go.  

They are on the north side of OKC so it's a little bit of a drive but not bad.

Now....that said, like everywhere else, their classes are on hold until all this virus stuff clears up.  That could be days, weeks or months.

Thank you Brandi!

No problem.  It's good to see new shooters seeking training regardless of age.  

Defcon Defense in Guthrie just North of the metro.  The owner is awesome with all skill levels and used to teach at Wilshire before starting his own business.  He demos skills and can breakdown the basics extremely well.  He does private and small group lessons as well as concealed carry certification classes.

Will Andrews and his outfit is running out of Wilshire. I recommend them highly.

They have a fantastic, logical program that progressively builds from the basics on up. They also have the ‘retread’ program where they give a bit of a discount to folks returning to retake classes.

Fantastic value for the money.

Will is who I was referring to in my first response.  He's a good guy!

Great, thank you!
