Anyone have any information on this company?

Headquartered out of Dearborn Heights, MI. Has an office in Fond du Lac, and a firing range in Chilton. They apparently run CCW classes out of Dutches Trading Post in FDL.

Lot's of "Tier 1 HSLD Center Axis Relock technique" on their website.

Services include close protection, investigations, technical security, maritime, DoD, ect. I'm pretty familiar with the PMC community, and I've never heard of them.

Alright, a shady sounding tier 1 possibly 0 company named after a movie about mercenaries. Sign me up  I call Viper as my code name.

lol @ the "Your IP is: XX.XXX.X.XXX" script on their website. That combined with the free initial assessment for stalker threat management makes me feel these guys know their stuff.  

I call Cobra. We can be partners. You get to be the loose cannon, and I'll be all-business.

Dibs on garter snake , the mildly retarded sidekick that is always doing exactly the wrong thing ...

They are legitimate, or a legitimate person was at one time associated with them? Big difference.

Knowing what I know of Paul Castle and CAR, their credibility is questionable to me with how fanatic they promote it.

Looking forward to some info direct from the company.



Do tell.

Good to know it's GTG. No problem with the name personally, but the website seems a bit lacking in presentation. I initially flagged it as a "fly-by-night" company.

All I see is CCW classes listed in their training calender. Just a thought, they should offer some sort of tactical carbine/shotgun/pistol course for the general public locally. Wisconsin is lacking in this regard, I have to travel out of state to get any decent course material. I wouldn't mind enrolling in a course and posting a review on arfcom.

This. For serious.

And they can even call me "Cobra" during the class for funning in this thread.

I have attended training from Paul Castle. I can say that he is a thief, because I witnessed it. There is also an integrity reason he did not come back to train at an agency in WI, which I have direct from the mouth of the head of that agency. Combined with the allegations of claiming to various federal facilities to have trained and done more than he has, as well as other issues that I am privvy to but will not share on an open forum, there are more than enough reasons why anything attached to Paul Castle is suspect to a lot of agencies. I have learned things from the training I attended of Sabre Tactical. I try to take something home from every training I attend, be it good or bad. The CAR system is a tool in the tool box for some very, very limited scenarios. Inside a vehicle or some weapon retention is one such example. However those that advocate the CAR system as the end all-be all with a fanaticism like point shooting or some other methods raise red flags with me. Those that claim their ways are THE way instead of A way concern me.

While the instructor for Ronin may have some very good credentials and background, I still will strongly question rabid advocation of C.A.R. due to my own training, experience, and knowledge of it's creator. Just because someone has trained an organization doesn't mean they have credibility. The fact that Paul was pretty much persona non grata after a while at much of the federal level says a lot as well.

Paul Castle is the thief. I never said your friend was.

Guess they are legit since they were featured in the DVD release of Expendables 2.

This is what makes them legit?

I suppose you think the FPS Russia guy is really Russian because he was in a commercial.
