    "I really enjoyed the class. Joe did a really good job explaining everything and answering my questions. He has very good communication skills and I could tell that he wanted me to understand the information. I especially liked the “what if” situations and the hands on drills to help establish muscle memory when using a holster. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone who wants to learn."
