Pistol 1

Excellent overall experience, very well organized and run. Trainers (Josh and Sam) were professional, engaging, patient, and observant. I walked away knowing what I need to work on, the order in which to work on them, and how to work on them. I will retake in a few months to see how much I improve. A lot of what you will do in this class is not going to be allowed at your local range, so repeating this class and pistol 2 yearly is probably in my future. Attendees were of varying skill/experience levels. It looked to me as if a good time was had by all in the class I attended.

It is an excellent course for those with little to no experience with working with pistols. They cover the fundamentals very well and bring shooters to a level of confidence and proficiency that they may not have otherwise achieved. However, for those that have experience and are at least of intermediate level proficiency this was a long and expensive course to rehash what you already know. Now if your goal is to take their more advanced courses then this is the additional price of admission to get to their "big show".

Took Pistol 1,2 & Rifle 1,2,3 in Immokalee. Pistol 1 was a great course that covered more than the typical fundamentals you will learn at your local range. No matter how much experience you have, you should not skip this course. I learned more in Pistol 1 than I expected to learn in the whole week. Paul, Sam, Josh are on point. You will not regret taking this training. It was so good I will likely take it again.

Life changing experience! Paul, Sam and Josh are nothing short of spectacular. I went into this class with a lifetime of firearm use, training and thought I knew a lot. Boy was I wrong. John and Paul have developed a “true” training system for the citizen soldier. If you are questioning whether or not you should take Pistol 1 the answer is yes! While this class touches on the fundamentals it is a high-paced, high-energy training that sets the tone for your classes to come. I highly recommend it, no matter your level of experience! Paul’s ability to articulate his lessons is outstanding. The humor and personal attention you get from Paul, Sam and Josh throughout the class is awesome. All three play off of one another making the class fun, while giving you the individual attention you need to improve. My only regret with this class is that I did not take it sooner.

The training with Paul, Sam, and Josh was amazing. I took pistol 1 & 2, and Rifle 1 in Immokalee . Aside from their clear experience and knowledge of firearms, their ability to teach and train was superb. I was one of only a couple of women in the class and all I can say is men BRING YOUR WIVES! Why just buy her a pistol for protection but not offer the training to use it. I heard so many of the men in all 3 of the classes mention their wife at home who has a pistol but is afraid to shoot it, or doesn’t feel comfortable carrying it. Give the gift of training AND have a partner in preparedness! The trainers were supportive and attentive to all levels of experience. I can’t wait to book my next training experience with WPS. Newport Pigs in a Blanket.

Just wrapped up Pistol 1&2 with Paul and Sam and the boys brought it. I’ve taken a handful of pistol classes in the past (including Pistol 1&2 with WPS) and it’s still just as relevant to me as to the family I brought that had almost no firearm experience. The class was different from the class I took in 2022, which shows that Paul is constantly improving his teaching techniques to stay at the forefront of the industry. I’ve taken classes with other groups and Paul and Sam do such a great job instructing that I would recommend them over every other class I’ve taken. Whether you have ten thousand rounds down range or 100 you’ll find things to improve and work on.

Paul is an amazing shooter and is able to articulate his wealth of knowledge on pistol shooting in a way that's easy to understand. He takes the time to answer questions so you really feel like you got your money's worth of training and information!

Just finished taking pistol 1&2 and rifle 1,2&3 with Paul & Josh and all I can say is what an amazing week. Not only the skills that was taught with both pistol and rifle but the way they teach is so easy to understand. Paul is great at what he does and would highly recommend any class he teaches. I wasn't expecting Josh to be there but what a treat to have him there. Josh is a great instructor and when you get Paul and Josh together they make the class so entertaining and fun at the same time they are teaching you all the fundamentals and advanced skills to become a better protector. If you're holding off on taking these classes like I was just because you want "John Lovell" as an instructor I'm here to say Paul and Josh were absolutely great. I would like to train with the man himself John Lovell also but I would train anything Paul and Josh teach and feel just as warm and tingly inside as I would with John Lovell. Don't wait just sign up and do it you will not regret it !!

Sam, Josh, and Paul make an excellent team. Their weapon skills are only surpassed by their teaching skills. I highly recommend this course and these instructors.

Paul and Sam are the ultimate enigma, the yin and yang of instructors. Both highly knowledgable and skilled. The trigger manipulation itself was a gem to learn. Improved my follow on shots, to be accurate and fast. i refined out ma grip and stance. They helped me out in drawing from holster, in an efficient and practical way. Awesome training guys. Thank you, eddiebeans.
