    I set out to gather information and learn more about guns to conquer my fear of guns all together. Keith was amazingly down to earth and allowed me to express my nervousness. He adjusted the class to help me let go and relax... that's when brilliant things happened... I was washed over with so much education that I took myself back to the gun range the very next day and unloaded 200 rounds all alone. I felt safe and fine alone with my hand gun that I can clean and adapt to. I am no longer an endangered Native woman. I am an educated inner-beautiful woman with the right to live as all Americans do.

    Great class, very informative and hands on instruction to properly handle a fire arm (specifically hand guns). This class is imperative to understand NM laws and how they affect your person inside and outside your home. I feel 10 times more confident now to carry because of this class.

    My husband, friend, and I just finished our USCCA CCW Instructor course, with Keith Kolb. Keith was EXCELLENT. I've had my CCL for ~10 yrs, and, this course taught me more than I had ever known! Keith is a professional, and cares very sincerely about his students' learning! We all plan to continue MORE training, with him!

    Probably one of the best courses I have been to. Not only did we learn a lot from our instructor but he encouraged cross talk among the students so we can learn from one another. His expertise was apparent when we were going through the coursework and out at the range. I would happily take another class with him in the future. I look forward to putting these new skills to use within my business.

    I attended the 9-10 June 2018 USCCA Handgun Instructor Course. The facility and amenities were excellent. The presentation and caliber of instruction was impressive. Keith is extremely knowledgeable of the material and conveys it in an extremely professional manner. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

    I took a basic gun safety course from Keith and was extremely impressed with his style of instruction. Everyone remained calm, safe and energized. When we finished, I believe I have a greater understanding of our responsibilities as gun owners.

    On my first go around with obtaining a Concealed Carry Permit the whole experience was quite different. I had the feeling I was in the military. There was a lot of yelling on the range and if you made a mistake you were gone. If you had the wrong equipment you were gone. With Vigilant Firearms, at Full Metal Jacket the experience was quite different. While range safety was a priority, it was done in a friendly non combative nature. If you needed a holster, ammo or a piece to shoot with they had them. Water no problem. I would highly recommend these folks for gun safety and a concealed carry if you are so inclined.

    I've attended many training courses throughout my life and this was one of the best, if not the best. Keith is very knowledgeable, answered every question in a clear, concise manner and demonstrated true expertise. The USCCA Instructor course is a great course, with very thorough content. The range exercises were conducted in a safe and good manner. The classroom portion was done very well, keeping all students engaged and interested. I won't hesitate to take further training from Vigilant Firearms Training, as well as highly recommend them to potential students. Thanks for an excellent and thorough course.
