Full description and what we offer
S & S Training Solutions is built by combat infantry veterans who deployed to Iraq and trained with the Missouri National Guard. Owner Cole Sammons spent three years active duty as a U.S. Army Combat Infantry soldier with a 15-month deployment to Baghdad in 2007-2008. Co-owner Parker Schreckenghaust runs the CCW and pistol program. They don't do corporate training theater—they do the work that matters.
"We don't want to pump out just gunfighters. We acknowledge that no training medium is perfect."
S & S uses live fire, blank fire, and airsoft together because real combat isn't one-dimensional. Live fire on static ranges doesn't replicate a fluid battlefield. Blank fire under stress teaches weapon manipulation under chaos. Airsoft builds decision-making and small team communication. Combined, they build competent warriors instead of specialists in one narrow skill.
Parents must sign waivers for anyone under 18. Bring your own lower receiver or sling if you want—they'll pin it to their rifles. Don't bring ammunition or magazines; they control custody of all M200 factory blanks and dedicated MILES mags.

Blog posts from Cole document actual self-defense encounters—including one where an unstable individual blocked the only exit from their training range, forcing a decision to potentially draw. These aren't hypotheticals. They're why Cole and Parker train: "You cannot rely on others for your personal safety."
Their approach: carry everywhere, train often, recognize threat signs early, disengage when possible, only draw as last resort.
