Colorado Tactics has been running firearms and self-defense instruction in Parker, CO since 2013. The operation is built on one core principle: "Slow is smooth… and smooth is fast." That means safe, repetitive practice naturally builds speed—no cutting corners.

  • Intermediate Pistol Course — Advanced tactics, quick targeting, and concealed carry techniques for real-world scenarios
  • Concealed Carry Training — Confidence and responsibility in carrying concealed, including legal and situational awareness
  • Self-Defense — Practical techniques with focus on situational awareness and effective defensive tactics
  • Personal Safety for Women — Tailored self-defense training designed specifically for women

Founded by John Rader, an instructor known for patience, deep knowledge of firearms and gun laws, and willingness to spend extra time getting students to competency.

Testimonials consistently highlight three things: knowledge, patience, and thoroughness. Rader covers protection beyond just carrying a gun—home security, vehicle safety, and the legal landscape. Students describe him as "extremely knowledgeable" and "personable," someone who watches everything from stance to grip and corrects it.
