 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took an advanced pistol class through 6:11 Defense. Put simply, the instructor was outstanding and the material was very applicable to “real world” application. Another element that should be noted is the fact that the instructor does not push additional products; instead, they meet the student where they are at to get them to the next level. 100% would take another course through 6:11 Defense.

Drew is a great instructor who will help make sure you understand the fundamentals and the laws, all while maintaining proper safety. He will help you with your carry and draw technique, make sure you understand proper firearm handing, and help with any questions you may have a firearm maintenance.

Would recommend his CCW class to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Being left handed, I had a consistent 'low - right' shot when I pulled the trigger. Drew worked with me on hand placement and grip, which helped me to steady my shot tremendously. Drew is a very knowledgeable instructor when it comes to any type of pistol handling, concealing, drawing from holster, and also maintenance on your firearm.

Drew took the time to work with each of us and to answer whatever questions we had about law, safety practices, or technique.  He made sure we were safe o. The range and prepared to carry our weapons safely and correctly.

If you want a class that will prepare you to carry and use your firearm, this is the trainer and class to make that happen.  Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the Missouri concealed carry training class here with the owner, Drew Christian, and it was outstanding from start to finish. Drew was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone understood both the legal responsibilities and the practical skills needed to carry safely.
Drew explained the material clearly, using real‑world examples that made the laws and safety rules easy to remember. The range portion was well organized, with careful one‑on‑one coaching from Drew that helped build confidence, even for less experienced shooters.
Safety was the top priority at all times, and Drew never rushed anyone or made questions feel unwelcome. The class moved at a comfortable pace, and the environment was respectful, friendly, and supportive.
By the end of the day, I felt fully prepared, informed about Missouri law, and confident in my ability to handle and carry my firearm responsibly. I highly recommend Drew Christian and this concealed carry class to anyone looking for quality training and will gladly send friends and family here. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
