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!

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 visited the showroom of this local body armor manufacturer on a Saturday and was impressed by the service. All three staff members were exceptionally helpful, dedicating time to detail their commitment to quality in protection. The body armor carriers they produce are of superb quality, and it's notable that they manufacture their own ballistic plates.
For anyone seeking top-tier, innovative protection for their family, this company is highly recommended. Additionally, they retail Mira safety masks and provide expert advice on these products. If you're in the market for reliable personal protection equipment, this is the place to go.

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!

AR 500 is an excellent choice for affordable body armor. I’ve been extremely impressed by the rugged manufacturing that holds up to the craziest of situations you can throw at it. I’ve spent nearly 3x as much with competitive companies and I’ve not been nearly as impressed as I have been with this set. The fitment is perfect for my body type. I’m roughly six foot and in fairly decent shape for an old retired grunt.
As importantly, if not more importantly, with as crazy as the world has gotten over the last year, their customer service is awesome. They work with you and keep you up to date on what is happening with your purchase as they build it for you. Alyse G. has been incredibly professional, positive and given me more than I could ask for! You can’t go wrong with the Invictus or their customer service. Thank you for a great product and good old fashioned American made customer service!

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Arizona Tactical Adventures’ shoot house! As a family of four, we were looking for something exciting, unique, and memorable—and this experience delivered beyond our expectations.
From the moment we arrived, Mike made us feel welcome and safe. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were top-notch. The safety briefing was thorough yet easy to understand, putting everyone at ease, even for those of us who were less experienced.
The shoot house itself was an adrenaline rush! The scenarios were realistic, challenging, and tailored to our skill levels, making it fun and engaging for everyone in our family. We were blown away by how immersive and hands-on the experience was. It was like stepping into a real-life action movie!
Mike was patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about what he does. He made sure we left not only with big smiles on our faces but also with newfound confidence and skills.
This was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable family outings we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for an adventure that combines excitement, learning, and family bonding, Arizona Tactical Adventures is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended!

My brother and I had the best time at Arizona Tactical Adventures! Even the talk that is given to everyone was given with enthusiasm and humor. They really accomplish their mission very well. We learned stuff from trained professionals while having a great time and knowing our safety was taken very seriously. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back for more even it if was over an hour away and we had limited time. I highly recommend, they'll make it worth your visit plus you'll have great pictures. One of a kind experience.

Didn’t know what to expect as I heard it was pretty intense however the owner (team leader) made the experience very seamless and entertaining. I took my 23 year old daughter for her birthday and she was blown away! We had a blast and felt safe the entire time!

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.

What a day! Our lead instructor was Mike, and he was amazing. The course was organized, structured, and thorough. His information and instructions were clear and concise. For me, the most reassuring thing was the emphasis on safety. Mike and his team were very stern and direct with all safety protocols, which made me feel much better about having my son there learning with me. The time flew by, and by the time we left we felt confident in our ability to handle an AR-15. While the cost was a little more than some other places, but it was well worth it. If you're looking for a firearms course in the Phoenix area, this is the place you want to go to. Thank you Mike, Ben, and the rest of the team for your amazing work.

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.

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

I’m a first time customer, when I first arrived I was expecting the showroom to be bigger, but with the high quality knowledge the AR team members offer it does not need to be!

Ordered a plate carrier and plates on March 20th with my current address which si the same as my billing address on the armored republic website with my email. I got the invoice showing my products and my current billing and shipping address here in mesa. The next day saw that a shipping label was created but was shipping to an address that I lived at 4 years ago from the last time I ordered a rig and plates from them. Submitted a ticket and was promptly replied back to and was told my Eric in email confirmation that my shipping address would be updated prior to the shipping company picking the items up the next day. The next day rolls around and it's still shipping to Tempe. Item was than delivered to Tempe at an address I do not live at any more, that I haven't lived at in a handful of years. I have sent emails back to no reply. So someone else received my package and armored republic received payment for a product I wasn't given.
Update: Armored Republic made good on their word and sent out a new kit and was delivered with no issue in a insanely quick time frame. Very thankful for your customer service and correcting the issue. Will definitely be buying more products in the future. Thank you.

We were visiting Arizona for a company event and was looking for something to do, and Arizona Tactical Adventures popped up. Mike exceeded our expectations. This excursion was not only fun and enjoyable, but very knowledgeable! We learned so much in a short amount of time, but had fun doing it as well! We will definitely come back and hopefully do a longer time slot! That’s how much we enjoyed it!

It was a pleasure training with Rob. My wife and I signed up for private pistol training and learned far more than we expected in our first session.
Rob has an impressive understanding of firearms and defensive shooting, and that became clear when we dug into the details on some of the things we discussed during our training. He also has a unique ability to meet you where you are and push you to the next level.
We're looking forward to another session soon.

Super informal, the people there were super nice. If I might add you get what you pay for quality product. REI didn’t have water resistant boots but 5-11 did! So if you’re looking for outdoor gear that’s durable and comfortable I recommend them

Dagmarie was wonderful with explaining everything and showing step by step how to handle different situations. The group aspect made it more fun since we all were doing it together. Great experience and I hope more people take this class!!

Mike Simpson is a great instructor. Excellent class, highly informative. Cannot say enough, every shooter should take this class, at least once.

My brother, dad and I did the Black Ops experience over the Christmas break and had a fantastic time! Mike was extremely prepared and detailed throughout our time together, made sure that safety was emphasized and thoughtfully answered our many questions. Though we all have a basic background with firearms, and that is beneficial, the experience could be done by anyone comfortable operating a long gun.
The experience is broken down into two components, a training session in which room-clearing procedures are presented and practiced, and then a live session which puts the training into practice. The latter component is scored and done several times with the goal of improving in different scenarios. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone in search of a fun, informative and interesting activity!

I purchased a plate carriers/armor from AR500 earlier this year. I was so pleased that I bought another set along with my brother. I had an issue with some of the molle straps not locking so I called customer service. Kevin replace the starps and gave me a gift certificate towrards another purchase, which I will use for a 3rd set. Excellent products and excellent customer service!!

I took my first firearms training course at ERT many years ago and have taken many more since. The lead instructor (Rob) is very knowledgable and is able to provide the information in a format that is easy to understand, regardless of your experience level. You can be confident that you will be getting quality training in a comfortable, safety oriented environment.

Missy is the absolute best! I came in after my supervisor recommended me to get cargo pants from 5.11. I was greeted immediately walking in by Missy; I was overwhelmed with the amount of options there were and she walked me through each one and the pros and cons of them all. All of the duty pants were amazing quality. She was a great help and so sweet!

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!

I contacted Rob to get some instruction on how to handle a pump gun and Rob delivered. We had a 1:1 session and he taught me everything I needed to know.
We even discussed home defense etc. Very good teacher. He knows how to transfer Knowles to his students.
