My buddy just bought his first handgun and wants marksmanship training from a solid instructor/outfit. He's taken two safety classes so far, and we've been to the range a few times now. He will be in the Santa Cruz area this summer as well as Las Vegas, and he wants to find a class in the area? Does anyone have suggestions?
He found http://kandcfirearmstraining.com/ but I've never heard of them before. Does anyone have experience with them?
Thanks,
Kent
They are down in LA but my first recommendation for firearms training in CA would be Scott Reitz and ITTS.

Uncle Scotty is best known for his higher speed training but its is all based on fundamentals. Their handgun 1 should fit the bill.

Defensive Handgun I is a basic pistol class designed for those who have never handled a firearm before or those who have had experience, but not taken a formal handgun class. If you do not own a pistol, this is the class you would take. We can supply all equipment including a gun rental. All you need do is to sign up, bring along a belt and sunglasses and we will take care of the rest.
This class is also intended for those of you who have not had any formal firearms training even if you have been shooting for a number of years or for those who want a review of the “basics” no matter how much training you’ve had.
The principles of Defensive Handgun I are the basis upon which all our other courses are built. This course gives you a solid fundamental grounding and understanding of modern gunfighting and the use of the defensive pistol. If in doubt about which course to start with, take this one before signing up for the next level. You will learn a great deal and improve your basic skill sets.
NO prerequisites or experience required.
