Dagmarie was awesome. She was such a passionate instructor who taught with patience and understanding. She consistently asked questions for engagement and to ensure we were all clear on what we were learning. In the beginning, she stressed that she wanted the class to be a safe space to learn and she created that environment.

We had a wonderful experience learning CPR, AED and first aid with Matt. He was so informative, friendly, funny, and he truly cares about people. His desire to help people by sharing his life-saving knowledge and experience is evident. We are all grateful for what we learned through our time with him. Thank you!!

Bobby was an amazing instructor! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone needing CPR & First Aid training

This was the highlight of our vacation for my boys. They love the combat video games and thought they would rule in this… they said it was incredibly challenging and they learned so much! They loved it! Mike was fantastic and spent a good deal of time after discussing the missions and training that would improve their tactical strategies! They loved getting the chance to use flash bangs and breaching the door.

Not surprised to see all the Five Star ratings. After over 30 years in the military and college up to the Masters level I can say, with confidence, that Rob is probably the most knowledgeable and competent instructor I've encountered. That means he has mastered his subject and he communicates the facts to students better than most.
I am a Basic Sniper Course student and I will be enrolling in advanced training in the future.
ERT also offers tactical medicine training. As a practioner I'll be utilizing those con-ed classes also. Over-all superior instruction.

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!

Missy and Jackie were absolutely a gem to work with. As a woman, fitting tactical gear poses a good challenge. Missy ended up finding me the perfect tactical pants & a great shirt to match them with. The pants are both well fitting while not sacrificing mobility and comfort. Outstanding service! Will be back soon for your Labor day sale!

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.

Rob is probably the best instructor I've ever encountered. He has mastered his subject and he has a knack for breaking down a block of instruction into easily understandstandable sections. I took his basic precision rifle course and will also be enrolling in advanced courses to enhance my skills. Strong recommend.

Went with 8 lads for birthday gathering on Sunday 1/5/2025. Was a great experience. We learned a ton. It was great to understand the breaching & clearing rooms to properly protect your family & community. Our trainers were Mike Simpson and Mike K. They were both very informative and we appreciated they were no bs type of men because this type of training is very important due to the current circumstances within the United States. We will be back and also be doing individual training and sniping training. Thank you

I’ve bought from them three different times and I’m extremely happy with their products. I will buy again in the future.

If you’re looking for a fun, adrenaline-pumping, skill-building experience, the Black Ops Adventure at Arizona Tactical is an absolute must! Mike, our instructor, was phenomenal—his expertise and passion for teaching made this adventure both thrilling and highly educational.

This wasn’t just a fun outing; it was an opportunity to gain invaluable skills. Mike taught us how to think and move strategically in high-stress situations, communicate effectively with each other, and adapt to dynamic environments. His guidance was clear, encouraging, and practical, ensuring we felt confident throughout the experience.

The state-of-the-art gear was impressive. From cutting-edge night vision goggles to high-quality replica weapons, the equipment elevated the immersion and realism of the adventure. It felt like stepping into a tactical mission straight out of a movie.

I can’t recommend this experience enough! Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or someone looking to sharpen their tactical skills, Arizona Tactical Adventure is the go to!

Best weapons instruction in the US! I was a Combat Instructor with Rob @ the School of Infantry

I did AZ Tactical Adventures for my birthday with a few friends and it was unreal. We spent four hours learning real commands, teamwork, and procedures used by professionals, all in a controlled, safe environment led by former Navy SEAL instructors.
The simulations get your heart racing and the instructors are clearly passionate about what they teach; not just tactics, but the mindset, discipline, and life lessons that carry far beyond the training room.
As a regular civilian, it gave me a huge respect for the real heroes who do this work for real. If you want something memorable, challenging, and way more meaningful than another steak dinner, this is it.

What an experience!!! Mr. Mike was so helpful, very informative, patient, and funny. The course was truly one of a kind. I brought my bf down to AZ and this was a surprise excursion for him. We had an absolute blast! They have tons of different scenarios for different skilled shooters. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Had a great time learning tactics and hanging with the boys for a bachelor party. Mike was incredibly professional, patient, and encouraging of us to learn while having fun. He was highly knowledgable without being condescending, and i would recommend this training to anyone interested in learning tactics, or if you want a unique experience. I would love to go back and reconnect with the team anytime im back in Arizona.

Great service and friendly

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

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!! Thank you for hosting us Mike!

Very fun. Mike was super nice and respectful. He has a unique experience no one else can offer!

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!

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

Quite Possibly the Best Firearms Instructor on The West Coast. His methods and curriculum are very well thought out. He’s not concerned with this trend or that….his main concern is economy of motion. Not just pistol or carbine, or shotgun, he teaches all mediums. Good instruction is worth every Penny. Would recommend him for you child and your grandmother!

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.

Carson was extremely helpful in answering questions regarding shipping and processing times and advised me that he has placed my order as priority. Great company and great customer service from Carson B

Incredibly well run! Such a great experience for our team. Couldn’t believe how detailed and professional the whole process was

Amazing backpack! I wear it everywhere I go. I had an issue with a zipper seam ripping apart and I wasn’t able to use that pouch anymore . I reached out to them in and email and they immediately replaced the backpack. All I had to do is swap the armor pad and I was good to go.

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

THE BEST TRAINING YOU WILL FIND ANY WHERE, HANDS DOWN. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. THANKS SO MUCH ROB! I'LL BE BACK FOR MORE.

Great experience. Informative, professional and concise. Signed up for the Shoot House and learned some skills from Michael. My friend and I had a blast. My only complaint is that I wish I could do it all day long haha great people and a great time. Highly recommend! Thank you guys!

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!

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.

What an amazing experience! Mr. Mike was a fantastic instructor. The Shoot House really gets the adrenaline pumping. 😀

The instructor (Jamie Philips) did an excellent job teaching us these life saving skills. I would recommend her a million times over! She was fun and made the learning fun! It was an awesome class!

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!

Great experience with AR500! The customer service was great! I ordered several items, and one was taking longer than usual to update. Kevin got back to me right away and was professional and extremely patient with me changing my mind about the color of one of the items. I literally sent 3 emails within 5 minutes going back and forth. Once I finally decided, Kevin easily changed my order and pushed it through.
The build quality of the gear is great and looks really good (very important)! I’ve run several carrier designs, and the Testudo 2 is very comfortable in comparison to the others. 10/10 recommend

Our Daycare staff had our CPR/AED/First Aid class with American Emergency response yesterday. I just have to say that Ms. Tatjana was an amazing instructor! She was punctual, set up quickly, had a wonderful attitude, energy, and great knowledge of the course work. It is wonderful to see individuals who put a lot of effort into what they do! I highly recommend you request Ms. Tatjana as your instructor with American Emergency Response!

Fantastic experience. Mike was thorough and gave our company incredible memories.

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.

If you're looking for something truly unique to do in Phoenix, Arizona Tactical Adventures is where it's at! I had an incredible time and can't recommend this place highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and super knowledgeable. Safety was a clear priority but so was fun!
It felt like stepping into a real-life action movie. The gear is legit, the scenarios are realistic, and the instructor (who has military and law enforcement experience) know how to keep you engaged and in the zone.
What really stood out was how immersive and hands-on everything was. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced with tactical training, they tailor the experience to your comfort and skill level. I learned a ton while having an absolute blast.
Thanks to the Arizona Tactical Adventures crew — you made this an unforgettable day. We’ll definitely be back!

Really great experience at AR500, I ordered the veritas package, looks amazing can’t wait to run a few drills. Had a hiccup during shipping but Michael M. Was quick to resolve it, really great and responsive customer service. Thank you AR500 Armor!
