Full description and what we offer
Southwest Firearms delivers firearms safety and competence instruction designed for how you'll actually use a gun. They run beginner-friendly classes in a low-pressure environment and advanced combat-focused courses—all state-certified and approved by the New Mexico Department of Public Safety.
David Beaty leads instruction with certifications across multiple platforms:
This isn't a one-size-fits-all instructor—the depth here matters if you're serious about competence.
| Course Type | Focus | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CRG-1, CRG-2, CRG-3 | Close Range Gunfighting & Fundamentals | $400 |
| NRA Basic Pistol | Safety & Shooting Fundamentals | Included |
| New Mexico CCW Class | State-Recognized Concealed Carry | State-Certified |
| Pistol Gunfighting | Real-World Defensive Scenarios | Call for pricing |
State Recognition Matters: Southwest Firearms training is approved by New Mexico Department of Public Safety. Your CCW certification won't be questioned.
They emphasize the practical advantage: training locally in Santa Fe or Albuquerque saves you thousands compared to traveling out of state while still delivering quality instruction. You get professional training without the travel logistics.
"The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and made everything easy to understand. I left feeling confident, safe, and ready to apply what I learned." — Carlos M., Santa Fe
"The small group setting allowed for personal instruction, and the training emphasized both safety and skill. I feel much more prepared and capable now." — Raymond K., Taos
The consistent feedback points to hands-on instruction, small class sizes, and an emphasis on real-world application—not just checking boxes for a license.
The process is straightforward: choose your course, register online, attend training, earn certification. Classes fill quickly, so register early.
