New Gun Owner:
If you are a new gun owner or contemplating purchasing a firearm, you have come to the right place.
Learning Process:
The learning process begins with finding a trustworthy team who can take you through the first steps: what to buy, how to use, where to begin! WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
We Believe:
We believe that guns are tools. Tools amplify the abilities of the user. The user has to be prepared to acquire the necessary mental and physical skills, one step at a time.
Our philosophy:
Our philosophy dictates that every person who owns a weapon must acquire the necessary training of Mind and Body in order to take action in a responsible way. Not only must you learn as much as possible about the firearm you own and how to use it, but also know how to be mentally prepared to handle yourself in a difficult situation.
What our students say!
Ellen
Teacher"As a novice, this class made me feel comfortable and, most importantly, safe. The class was fast-paced, fun, I learned a lot, and feel so much more comfortable with my rifle."
Joe
Police Officer"Great course. Was better than Larry Vickers course by far… More than exceeded my expectations."
Brennan
Developer"Great instruction. I learned more PRACTICAL technique then in 4 years of federal law enforcement instruction. All business, no wasted time."
Mike runs a great experience here. teaching and safety are at the top of the list while having fun during the experience. Would definitely recommend and do again! Send me one! Send me one!

I love this company's products and what they stand for. Their products are definitely quality, I've been putting them through hard use for years and they hold up great. It's great they make the body armor here in America, love to support local labor on home soil.
A few people have voiced complaints about delays in their product, but I've seen them be up front, honest and friendly about why there is a delay and what they're doing to fix it. Some supply chain issues don't sound like their fault. Customer service has also emailed back quickly, and when there was a delay of a few days was apologetic about that.
Lots of my friends and family love and use their products too. It's an easy company to tell your friends about, as their integrity shows through in their products and communication. They also have some of the coolest and funniest content on their social media!

I ordered side plates for my carrier and when I received my package only one plate. It was my mistake in not reading the summary correctly, but since all the information on the website used plural plates, I thought it was 1 set. Well, I called this great company and explained my disappointment to them. They explained the situation and since I was a repeat customer gave me a buy one get one free offer!
Now that is a company I will always deal with due to the value us customers have in their eyes! Great job Armor500!

Recently ordered battle belt bundle and noticed restraining strap had snapped. Contact their customer service; Alyse Galor responded swiftly and made sure the replacement part was shipped immediately. Happy customer and will continue to order from AR500.

Rob is pure class. I have trained with a few other instructors, but when I took my first class 6 years ago I knew I had made a great decision. All aspects of the weapon systems were covered, and an intimate knowledge of everything we touched was available via Rob. I have taken dozens of classes, and will continue to support this veteran owned and operated business! Thank you Rob!

Ordered two carriers. One I want to swap colors on due to a mistake I made in the order (wanted black mulicam but ordered multicam) and one I want to return because it doesn’t fit the 10x8 plates as advertised.
This is the email response (screenshot below). Claim they never advertised the 10x8 would fit one carriers, it only fits ‘their 10x8, when it says it right in the website description (photo below) it is ‘designed for 10x8’.
While the initial response from customer service wasn’t helpful, Carson Barney responded to my email and issued a refund for the item that didn’t fit the plate and sent me a second carrier in the color I wanted. Over and above what I was asking for.
Can’t always expect things to be right on the first shot, but much respect for vendors who own a mistake and go over and above to fix it.

Best practical / tactical training ever. Rob is highly engaging as an instructor and provides a wealth of knowledge on a variety of subjects at a reasonable cost. Taking classes with ERT have unequivocally made me a better competition shooter, hunter, and marksman. If you're at all interested in things that go bang, you would do well to book a session with ERT.

I live locally and have taken several dozen courses with owner/head instructor/Air Force veteran Mike Simpson over the last two years. It becomes obvious very shortly after meeting him that he is a master (and also a never-ending student) of his arts: tactics, leadership, and business among many others. Perhaps more importantly, he possess the ability to teach the skills he has developed in both the military and civilian worlds to others in a way they can understand. He will encourage you when you need it, and push you when you need that instead. All while still enjoying yourself! His scenario-based courses are an excellent combination of fun, adrenaline rushes, physical fitness, mental discipline, and problem solving. Mike is a professional in the truest sense of the word, and in many ways has become a personal mentor. I have no hesitations about recommending his training and adventures to you. I make the same recommendation to those I know in my personal life and have brought family from out of town, personal friends, co-workers, and neighbors along with me to classes. They have all enjoyed themselves thoroughly, despite vast differences in experience, age, fitness, and interests. If you take one of his adventures there is a high probability you will be left wanting more afterwards.

Great stop for outdoor wear! Solid men's and women's apparel! Courteous and helpful staff as well! I'll be shopping here more often! Have gone in a second time and got a deal (BOG50 off) AND a 2-shirt long sleeve package for work. Exactly what I was looking for! Much appreciated that staff for looking for items 'in the back' to see if they had something that might be what I was needing for work!

Had an amazing time!!
I underestimated how well it was going to go, but this is an experience like no other.
The tactics that were taught were beginner friendly and Mike Simpson did an amazing job teaching everything needed to conduct CQB, everything was evenly paced and methodically done, even when you mess up, he knows how to get you back on track and learn from those mistakes.
Overall I would love to go back and enjoy the other experiences available!!

I highly recommend AZ Tactical! This was a birthday present for my 14 year old son. Our group consisted of our 11 year old daughter up to my 70 year old mother-in-law. Mike did an amazing job. He was able to teach us some basics of clearing a room of bad guys, while at the same time keeping it fun, exciting, and challenging.

Purchased the BOGO Veritas Plate Carrier package and couldn't be more happy with the quality and price. Had a mixup with an order and their customer service is top-notch. Had the pleasure of interacting over the phone with Aliyah and she was personable, funny, and very helpful. Spoke with Michael S. via email and he was very professional and quick to respond. This customer service experience definitely instilled some confidence in this company to take care of their customers. I've since purchased additional items from them, and look forward to them being a solid part of my self defense plans moving forward.

By far large one of the greatest and most informative experience I've had when it comes to tactical training.
I have trained with elite companies all across the country and This company and Rob blows them away.
While the instructor pushed me to my limit I felt completely safe and walked away with a great understanding.
I highly recommend any of the courses and I look forward to taking additional tactical training in the future

Wow! I was fairly apprehensive when my 13 year-old expressed an interest in learning to handle a real weapon as opposed to a video game. In my effort to find a good introduction, the excellent reviews led me here and they couldn't have been more correct. Mike and his team are incredibly organized, positive, methodical, and encouraging while maintaining a safe environment and being completely down to earth.
We learned to clear a room in the Shoothouse - and while the 13 and 16 year-old were faster (and scored better) - my spouse and I didn't do half bad! The whole experience was both accessible and fascinating - so much so that we may choose Phoenix as a vacation destination again so that we can come back and learn more.

Great products for a great price. Very impressed with the quality of all the materials and the comfort of the equipment. On top of an armor setup the Phoenix backpack is unbelievably lightweight and comfortable. I would never guess it was bulletproof with how light it is. It too seems extremely durable. The photos show a 5'4" female and a 6'3" male wearing the Invictus carrier with A2 plates installed.

Wow, my family was blown away by the experience! We were not sure what to expect but have had some training in the past with both firearms and active shooter situations. Mike was our guide for our shoot house adventure and he is also the owner. His knowledge and expertise really shines as he allows you to learn at your pace while delivering his years of experience to you in a digestible manner so you do not feel overwhelmed. We had a great time learning, and experiencing what happens in high tense situations and we felt safe the entire time. Do not hesitate to confirm your booking here as you will not be sorry!!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Mike at Arizona Tactical Adventures! As a family, we were looking for a unique and exciting experience, and Mike delivered beyond our expectations. He taught us the fundamentals of room clearing in a way that was both safe and incredibly fun.
Mike is an outstanding instructor—he took the time to explain the "hows" and "whys" behind every technique, ensuring we understood the purpose and importance of each step. His patience and clear communication made the learning process enjoyable for everyone, regardless of our prior experience. Safety was always his top priority, and we felt completely comfortable throughout the entire session.
What really stood out was Mike’s ability to make the day engaging and memorable. He kept the atmosphere light and fun while still maintaining a professional and educational environment. By the end of the day, we not only learned valuable skills but also created lasting memories as a family.
If you’re looking for a unique, safe, and fun experience in Arizona, we highly recommend Mike and Arizona Tactical Adventures. Thank you, Mike, for an incredible day—we can’t wait to come back for more adventures!

We got more hands on experience in the shoot house than I thought we would, with plenty of reps to improve each round. Not often that an experience is better than expected!

Way better than even expected. Trainer was organized, professional, patient and helpful. It provided more than just entertainment. My brother and I left light years ahead of where we started in our understanding of how to engage in CQC situations.

The team at ER Tactical surpassed my expectations from the moment they answered my call. Most every experience I have had up to this point in the firearms industry had been negative and had revolved around dudes with guns making you feel dumb for being a rookie. That was not the case here. I went from 0-100 after meeting this team and have taken more than 25 hours of individual training. I've learned proper and every day applicable defense techniques, how to properly use an optic to shoot long range and with their help, I was able to learn how to build my first AR15. I can't say enough about the professionalism and knowledge these guys have. Thank you ER tactical!

My 1:1 Shotgun class with Rob was exactly tailored per my needs. He addressed the many options on employing this type of weapon and the corresponding ammo, which was exactly what I wanted to know from him. Once we started putting the theory to practice everything made sense. This was a no-nonsense class with no egos, which makes Rob a fantastic instructor who I will want to learn from in the future as well.

I’ve taken a few firearm safety classes, but this was by far the best one I have taken. I walked away with knowledge and confidence after taking this class. Rob is amazing and knows exactly how to break everything down in a way that is easy to understand. He will answer any question you have in regards to firearms and does not hesitate to show you how to do something until you fully understand it. I am so excited to sign up for another course with him! An outstanding man and company! ☺️👍🏼

Mike knows his stuff and imparts his knowledge in an easy-to-comprehend manner. My 13- year old boy and I had a fun, memorable experience. I would recommend to anyone.

Rob and his team are highly knowledgeable in each area and the introduction class I took taught me everything I needed to know about safety, aiming, and basic skills. They focus on each and every person to help them at the level they are and I learned so much about gun safety! I wouldn't put my life in anyone else's hands except ER Tactical! Highly recommend this company!

Great company. They messed up my order and not only communicated with me about the problem but ended up sending me two of the missing product. Their products are well built. And they are a good company. Bit slow to communicate. But my guess is they will get a lot faster in the future. They are focused on taking care of their customers and I will be a very loyal customer to these guys.

I've been following this company for quite a few years now and only just made a purchase last week. Still waiting on my order to arrive, but this review is in regard to their customer service. I was unable to see on my account that my order was being processed, and the confirmation link I was sent did not work as well. I sent an email to AR and within minutes I got a detailed response and resolution to my issue. The customer service team was extremely courteous and professional!

Mike was awesome!!! I took my brother and my boyfriend and they had a blast. Mike was so knowledgeable and really took the time to make sure the information that was given was also understood. We will definitely return!

Rob is a great instructor and has taught several private classes for my family and me. He is extremely safety conscience while making the the learning environment enjoyable. And, above that, he has walked the walk overseas and is the real deal. As someone who has attended training with many different instructors, I have never seen someone handle firearms with the precision Rob possesses. He is a complete professional but also handles himself with humor which makes for an memorable learning experience.
