Description

Build confidence through proper firearm care, safe handling, and hands on instruction.

This gun cleaning and firearm maintenance class will teach you how to properly clean, maintain, and care for your handgun so it runs safely and reliably when it matters most.

Owning a firearm comes with responsibility. Confidence should not stop at the firing line. A poorly maintained firearm can fail when you need it most.

Too many gun owners either avoid cleaning altogether or rely on guesswork, online videos, or inconsistent advice. This class replaces that uncertainty with structured, instructor guided training you can trust.

The course fee for this training is $75 per student.

This includes structured, hands on instruction, individual coaching, and a clear, repeatable system you can confidently apply at home.

This is not a quick overview or a watch and learn session. It is a guided training experience designed to ensure you fully understand and can properly maintain your firearm on your own.

No live fire is conducted during this class.

Students have the option to purchase a basic firearm cleaning kit for an additional fee. Using the correct tools matters, and having your own kit allows you to continue maintaining your firearm properly long after class.

During this course, you will work step by step with your own firearm to ensure you leave with both skill and confidence.

What You Will Learn

• How to safely handle and verify your firearm before and during cleaning
• How your firearm functions and which components require attention
• The difference between cleaning and proper maintenance
• A clear, repeatable process for cleaning your firearm correctly
• Where and how to properly lubricate without overdoing it
• How to identify common issues, wear points, and potential concerns
• How often to clean and what a realistic maintenance schedule looks like

Expectations and Outcomes

Expect Hands-On, Guided Instruction

This is not a lecture and it is not a demonstration only class.

Every student will actively work with their own firearm throughout the training while receiving individual guidance, correction, and support.

You will not leave wondering if you did it right. You will leave knowing you can confidently maintain your firearm on your own.

Why This Matters

A properly maintained firearm is:

• Safer to handle
• More reliable under stress
• Longer lasting
• More consistent in performance

Understanding how to properly care for your firearm builds trust in both your equipment and yourself.
