I've been on this planet for 51 years and have been handling firearms for about 45 of them so I've had a lot of advice and instruction but the six hours I spent with Howard S. Gussak and Mike Soper during my CCW class was invaluable. It was not only very informative but fun. I recommend this class to anybody and everybody and it's veteran owned and operated so enough said! You'd be hard-pressed to find somebody with Howard's credentials, look'em up. Tell all your friends that Armored Alliance Group is the only place for all your firearms training needs in Southwest Florida. Lastly, I'm also proud to call them friends, brothers and clients. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟4sure!

After many years of not using a gun that I purchased for safety reasons, I decided it was time to learn how to handle my new gun in a safe & confident manner. I met Howard Gussak, with Armored Alliance Group, through another class I took. I had my first lesson with him today and must say, I was blown away by his knowledge, patience and committment to his craft. His background and skills are like no other. We are blessed to have someone like Howard serving our community with his knowledge and experience. If you are thinking about getting a gun for the first time ever or just want to sharpen your skills, Howard is your man to help you with education and training....Thank you for your service, Howard!!!!!

The Shoot - Don't Shoot class was exactly what I was looking for. Great instructors and great content. A "must do" for anyone who is or is thinking of carrying a weapon or who wants to protect your home and loved ones. I'm looking forward to more training classes!

I took the Shoot Don’t Shoot class from Armored Alliance Group. Howard, Eric and Mark were excellent instructors with extensive background in law enforcement so they had real world experience which made this class so valuable. We had classroom discussion with scenarios and went to the range and did live fire scenarios. Wow, talk about putting what you’ve learned into practice. This did just that. These scenarios were intense, fun, and exhausting. High level stress. Valuable, worthwhile and well worth the time. Great job by these instructors. Excellent class. Thank you. Janet A.

Harold was fantastic as a trainer. No experience with a fire arm and after training I was successfully handling and shooting my gun safely and in the target range I needed to be in. 100% recommend!

Howard and Mike did a great job instructing our class. They were extremely professional and fun to be with at the same time. My wife, who had never been around guns before, was completely at ease and had a really positive experience. We will definitely do more training with Armored Alliance Group in the near future and will gladly recommend their services to anyone that is interested in learning about firearms and safety.

I had a handgun training session with Howard last week. He is very knowledgeable and I learned so much from him. First and foremost he teaches safety and continues teaching safety throughout the entire class. Howard is very patient and made this class one that I was so glad I scheduled. I am looking forward to taking other classes with Howard.

Howard was one of if not the best firearms instructor we have ever worked with. I am a retired Police officer from NJ and Howard worked with my twin 18 year old boys who were getting their first introduction into the world of firearms. I could not have imagined it would be as good as it was. he made it fun and educational and has made 2 young men gun enthusiasts for life.

The class was much better than I was anticipating. Howard and Paul made the class engaging, very educational and entertaining. The 6 hours went by fast and I’m looking forward to coming back and learning more from these two gentleman. Anyone who’s looking to advance their knowledge about weapons; marksmanship; state laws; etc… I’d encourage you to take their class.

Knowledgeable Professional. Educational And they make the classes fun as well. I can't imagine going concealed carry without the knowledge and safety information needed I learned from these classes. I highly recommend them

The AAG CCW class is something everyone should do. It was a phenomenal experience for my wife and I. Howard really takes the time to inform and teach you all about gun safety and concealed carry. After your time in the classroom, you get to go onto range and shoot targets with different firearms, learning shooting fundamentals to ensure you are equipped with the necessary skills to protect yourself and your family. I HIGHLY recommend Howard’s class to everyone. 10/10 experience

Spent an awesome afternoon with Howard learning about gun safety. Mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Total Impact, we were able to shoot several different styles and were able to find what worked best for each of us. Very professional and friendly atmosphere! We will absolutely be back, thank you Howard for your patience and knowledge!

I have been around guns my entire life, but was pleasantly surprised to learn quite a few things today during my CCW class. Who knew I have actually been holding my pistol wrong all these years and right away my shot pattern improved. I was a little worried I would get bored in a 4-5 hour long class, but it was actually fun and they made it easy to learn new things and before I knew it the class was over and off to the range we went. I strongly suggest anyone, even if you have a strong knowledge of firearms, take this course. You will learn something new. I am actually going to be looking into their other classes to further my knowledge of firearm safety and techniques. Thanks guys, you all were Great!

Howard is a fantastic instructor who is serious about safe gun handling. He made a great and welcoming atmosphere, and was a patient teacher. (As a bonus, he also tells some pretty good jokes)

Fantastic experience with Armored Alliance. Great instructors and a very “hands on” defensive training in an outdoor setting. Highly recommend.

My husband and I took Howards training course to qualify for our license. The course is all day but Howard and his highly qualified instructors made it fun and interesting. You learn the ins and outs of the weapon, how to handle it and how to properly fire it. Above all Howard stresses SAFETY as the upmost importance! I no longer feel intimated to handle and fire a weapon. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to get familiar with handling and firing weapons whether your are a first timer or not.jmr

I completed the concealed carry class this past Saturday with Howard, Mike and Frank. It was a very fun, well organized, informative day. The instructors are all very trained and knowledgeable, and the students were able to easily learn the material presented. I was pleasantly surprised that this concealed carry class was not only teaching the legal aspects regarding concealed carry, it also contained a substantial portion of hands on firearm training. The parts of function of both revolvers and semi autos were covered, along with firing techniques, stances, and shooting safety. The wonderful training provided, allowed all students do well on the firing range. These instructors are passionate about teaching each student how to be a safe, knowledgeable, proficient shooter, and I very highly recommend them. If you are looking for this type of training, I doubt you will find a more enjoyable learning experience anywhere!

I just finished my Advanced Pistol class with Howard Gussak at Armored Alliance Group in Nokomis, FL. Wow!!! Great class! I learned more in a few hours with Howard than I have in other classes taken elsewhere. Howard is very knowledgeable with years of experience and he is also an excellent instructor. I just signed up for the next class with Armored Alliance Group. I highly recommend them.

Do yourself a favor and SPEND THE MONEY! I almost decided to forego this and do a cheapo CCW class. I am so glad that my fiance convinced me otherwise because with something like this, you get what you pay for! Howard is extremely informative, down to earth, and funny. He is very helpful and answers all of your questions, explains everything THOROUGHLY, and goes above and beyond for his students in terms of making sure they're comfortable and educated in gun safety/handling. During range time, Howard is one-on-one with you and coaching you through it. I will be recommending ONLY Howard to my family and friends!

This is a great class for people like me who are unfamiliar with handguns. Howard gives you all the basics to raise your comfort level with handguns. This is not a 1-2 hour wham bam class, but rather a 5 hour course on the proper use of your weapon. There were 4 of us in my class, 3 of whom had little to no experience with hand held guns. After the classroom phase you get to at least 30 rounds of live fire. Howard stands right beside you and walks you right thru the live fire portion of the class. Cannot recommend this course high enough.

Since making Florida my legal residence, I've been looking for a good CCW class. AAC Group was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. Class size was kept small. Howard and Mike the instructors were very knowledgeable but kept the experience casual with good individual attention to all the students who were of various experience levels. Good classroom and range environment provided at Total Impact. I highly recommend them and look forward to enrolling in some of their other advanced training as well.

Took 6-hour class which was outstanding. I thought it would be a long day and it was not. In our group were those with experience and those with no experience. We each walked away feeling accomplished. Howard's experience, knowledge and ability to teach were exceptional. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
