Just incredible from start to finish. Starting from the fact that Mike and his team made the Seal Experience possible for me even tho you need at least a group of 4 people all the way to all the way to all the information, training and fun provided in the 4 hour experience. Being able to get an 4 hour insight into tactical training by an absolute expert like Mike was a real blast. I highly recommend AZ Tactical Adventures to everyone. Thank you Mike for the great time I was able to have with you, your co-worker (forgot the name; cool guy with long hair) and the bachelor party that did the training with us.

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.

Bob was informed and hilarious. He definitely needs to branch out and teach way more things. There could be some signs to in the hallways to show where the classroom is though.

I recently had the privilege of visiting this absolutely amazing place, and I cannot express enough how transformative the experience was for me. The staff are not just well-trained and professional; they exude a level of expertise and passion that is truly inspiring. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported, and it was clear that everyone there is deeply committed to personal and professional growth.

Throughout the event, I didn't just learn new techniques; I gained invaluable life lessons that have fundamentally changed the way I approach being a teammate—in business, in life, and in every endeavor I undertake. The workshops and activities were thoughtfully designed to challenge us and foster deep connections among participants. The level of team bonding that occurred was beyond anything I could have imagined. We didn't just work together; we built lasting relationships based on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to excellence.

This was not just an event; it was a journey of self-discovery and transformation. I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing new perspectives. The insights I gained have had a profound impact on both my personal and professional life. I feel more confident, more connected, and more capable of contributing positively to any team I'm a part of.

I am absolutely planning to return, and I highly recommend this extraordinary staff and their programs to anyone seeking meaningful growth. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, build stronger relationships, or simply take a step toward becoming the best version of yourself, this is the place to do it. It's simply outstanding—an experience that earns an A++++ in every possible way.

Great company strong values

Ive had an AR plate carrier since the early 2010s. Didnt know much about it other than it was AR500. I recently met a young man, Carson, who works for the company that spent his evening looking through every product Armored Republic has ever sold until he found mine. He then talked to me about the newer models, and what would the most comparable upgrade to my tried and true current carrier. fantastic customer service

Great service and friendly

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.

Ordered a complete setup from AR500 Valkyrie Berry Compliant Carrier with lightweight plates, tear away IFAK, TQ pouch and a Kangaroo Magazine pouch. Love the quality of all of it. It did take every bit of their lead time estimate plus a couple of weeks, but right now I'm not sure anything isn't backordered on materials. Communicated with their CS several times, Alyse Galor would respond to me rapidly and professionally can't ask more than that. The industry could use more people like this.
Bottom line, great company and people, great gear that's worth the wait.

The store manager was super helpful and knowledgeable. I wish all purchases were this professional and pleasant. Above & Beyond expectations!!!

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

We came to Arizona Tactical with a large group as a part of a bachelor party weekend. Mike and Michael were both great and made sure we not only had an awesome time but also learned a lot. I highly recommend taking a course here!

Here in Phoenix from out of state with the family so my son can attend a basketball camp. Looking for something interesting to do, I thought I would try Tactical Adventures. I go to the website and see the hours conflict with my son's camp. I decide to call just to see if it was possible to make arrangements for a later tour. I spoke to the owner Mike who was more than accommodating and we scheduled a time that allowed us to experience this once in a lifetime adventure. My wife, teenage son and I had an absolute blast! Mike ensures safety and fun and was very patient in his explanation of the process. I HIGHLY recommend this experience. My wife was even asking if we can go again before we return to Kauai.

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.

My wife and I just had an amazing time visiting Mike at AZ Tactical Adventures! Their training program was incredibly comprehensive and thrilling. It was one of the best experiences we've had, and we're definitely planning to return! Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch tactical training! Doesn’t matter if you’re new, inexperienced, or a seasoned veteran, they have something for everyone.

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!

Me and my dad booked the shoot house and it was a blast! Felt like we were real navy seals for 2 hours. Would be very fun for the whole family to do it but needless to say it was an awesome experience

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

I took my 15-year-old son to the Shoot House Mission at Arizona Tactical Adventures, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that safety was their top priority. Mike, our instructor, was highly professional and walked us through every step—covering weapon handling, room entry techniques, and effective team communication. The scenario felt incredibly realistic but was always controlled. My son was engaged, challenged, and learned a lot—not just about tactics but also discipline and teamwork. The use of non-lethal training weapons made the experience both safe and exciting. This was a great father-son bonding activity, and I appreciated how seriously Mike took his role in keeping it both fun and secure. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, action-packed adventure that prioritizes safety and learning. We’ll definitely be back.

My wife and I are senior firearms instructors at a facility in Indiana and were very impressed with what Arizona Tactical Adventures offered. The opportunity to work as a pair or team of 4 working trough tactical room clearing scenarios using night vision equipment was incredible. Mike, the instructor,, did a great job of making sure everyone was having a great time, but maintained a focus on safety throughout. Mike also did a great job adapting the 2 hours to the level of experience of each person present. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone! Mike will take care of you and you will have an awesome and unique experience. We were so impressed we are working at bringing a group of instructors out to take more training with Mike later this year.

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.

It was GREAT!!!! Something totally different for 2 girls to do and it was Soooo much fun!! They were very patient and made the experience 1 I will never forget and 1 I would love to do again!!

Great customer service, I put the wrong email on my shipping address and they where quick to respond to my ticket and sort everything out. Will be buying again here.

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.

I ordered my Veritas plate carrier during the lockdowns in 2020 when the getting was good. Just ordered my mag pouches and the configuration fit just the way I hoped. I took a chance with this company and I've had the privilege of communicating with their staff a couple times. Very high quality product, comfortable, plates are upgraded from what I used in the service, and their customer service is phenomenal. Special thank you to Michael Moon for all your help and suggestions. I've never been this happy over a product. Cheers.🖤

Took pistol 1 and 2 from Rob. I learned core shooting techniques that i've never seen and achieved draw times I never thought was possible for me. Rob as a person is very humble and answered all our questions thoroughly and in depth. I will be taking more classes with Rob

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!

Great Restoration company!

Great services! I was waiting on hold, and a few seconds later I have been responded through an email. I wasn't sure if I was placing some equipment in the right way for my New Testudo Gen 2. Richard came back with the answer through email even included an illustration in how to solve it. I know I'm now ready with the correct placement of the plates.
Thanks a lot!

I’m in there like swim wear! Awesome product, great fit, comfortable wear and I must say great customer service, Alyse Galor definitely answered many of my questions with quick responses. Thank you AR500 team

Buena compañía

I have purchased from AR500 Armor many times and never had an issue with any products. On my most recent order Fed Ex lost one of my boxes, not really sure how you lose just one box.But anyway I contacted AR500 and they contacted the shipper. I worked with Alyse Galor and she placed a new order for me, no charge. AR500 has really good customer service and they respond very quickly. And this issue was resolved quickly and it wasn't their fault. Thank you AR500 and thank you Alyse.

What an experience! We had so much fun about gun safety and how to clear around rooms while hitting targets!
Will definitely go again!! Mike was a great instructor!!

My fiancée refuses to train with anyone else in the industry. Rob's resume speaks for itself-but on top of that, the classes are affordable and the emphasis on safety and protection is key. You will also never meet a person who knows more about weapons and using them. His classes cover anyone from beginners to pros. He offers some classes that are specific to women, but also will let a woman jump in any of the normal classes as well. He truly treats his clients like family, and everyone has fun along the way. Our family will always recommend ERT!

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!

Great guys! You will learn more here than any other school on skills you will use in real life. Rob is one of the best instructors around.

My son and partner went this past weekend and they both loved it. My partner was an infantry in the Marines, and was also very happy and satisfied with the instructor. The fact that they take time to give you feedback And continue to work with you. You definitely come out more knowledgeable and feeling better about yourself. My son would be army infantry, so this is great knowledge for him to know not going in with zero experience. I enrolled him in the lifetime membership. I believe that was the best decision. I could’ve done getting such great training there. Thank you so much to the owner. Such a great guy takes the time to talk to you and takes really great care of you.

Took my dad for his birthday and we had a blast, it was very informational and we learned alot. We would highly recommend if you are looking for a safe, informational, and well instructed shoothouse session. Thank you again, we plan to be back again!

Great experience! Mike is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. It is also obvious that he cares very much about safety and running a business that caters to his clients, but also doesn't compromise on the fundamentals of effective tactical combat techniques. Extremely thorough and unique experience. These are serious concepts that are to be employed in serious situations, but Mike ensured it was all as fun as possible. My brothers, father, and I were thrilled with the experience and Mike was excellent at staging photos and shooting really cool video to make us all feel like commandos. LOVED IT! I recommend everybody give this a try and really get into it, you will NOT regret you did!!!

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 store with great staff, raúl and Joe were super helpful and they new the products they were selling. This store is super clean and they seem to have the whole stock line u der one roof, if you'relookingfor a tactical vest or a nice golf shirt they got you. The boots i boight are super comfortable. 5.11 is a great brand that is awesome both stylistly and for function. The pants have held up to mountains of abuse and keep on doing their job.

Nick was AWESOME. Friendly and knowledgeable. Great customer service and answered all my questions. Thank you much

My wife and I came to the showroom to learn and buy chest rigs. Jessie and Desiree were a huge help and went above and beyond to find the perfect setup. We loved the showroom. We were able to try on different chest rigs. We are very thankful for this place and the amazing help/customer service. We will definitely be returning customers and would highly recommend

Mike is super cool guy. Made sure we had a great time. Would highly recommend!

The best birthday adventure!! My husband and four of his friends spent the day today with Mike completing the shoot house adventure. They had fun, felt safe, and had access to state of the art technology, weapon systems, and tactics! Such a great experience.
