Kens a great, knowledgeable guy with some fast response time! I bought my first handgun from him and just now brought in my bolt carrier for a piston swap I just didnt have the tools for. He got it done and back to me in less than 2 hours! If I could leave more stars I would. Great guy and shop!
Stopped by to get some ammo. The gentleman was very knowledgeable! He explained everything to someone who doesnt know much about guns. And the prices are good! Will be definitely back
Best in the area. Transfers for me all the time. Great guy!
Ken was awesome. My girlfriend and I took his safety course. He was intelligible and informative. He made sure that you understood the ins and outs of gun safety. He was also honest and would never trick you just for a sale. I will be going to him for all my firearms needs!
Great place to do business. Id give 6 stars if I could.
Kens CCW course was informative and a great way to learn about a variety of firearms suitable for concealed carry. I was extremely pleased with Kens personable ability to teach and entertain. Great class!
Best gun shop in the area nice and professional people working there
Great shop, needed a handguard swapped out done and he did it for a decent price. Good people and good customer service, will definitely be back again.
When booking our class we weren’t sure where to book and randomly picked K3 Tactical. Best choice ever! Ken took his time with us, educated us on everything we asked, took situations that could happen and made them relatable. He taught us about every single handgun we asked about. He even took the time to take apart and show us the internal workings of them! Being a person going in with very little knowledge, I felt like I learned a lot that most people wouldn’t take the time to teach. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and patient. He explained to us when we are ready to buy or have any questions that he will be there to help us out in the future. 10/10 will be recommending K3 to everyone we know! Thank you for a great experience Ken!
Ken is great! I took my training with Ken. He is very thorough. I chose to also purchase local and returned to K3Tactical and Ken. Although he was very busy, he took the time and answered all my questions. As a newbie, I had a lot. Ken made sure I was completely comfortable with my purchase. He explained and demonstrated the weapon with me without any pressure of time. I would highly recommend this business. Thanks Ken.
My husband and I just took the concealed weapon course at K3. We were both totally inexperienced but Ken put us at ease. I had never even touched a gun before the class! He is a great instructor and very personable. I would highly recommend this class!
HORRIBLE ATTITUDE !!! WON’T sell you ammo unless you buy a gun from him. Refers to any vendor at a gun show as “Carneys” and openly complained about only making $.50 on a gun transfer . Was rude to my wife on the phone when asking if the gun had arrived his response was “ I don’t have time to go look Through over 200 guns purchased at the gun show just come in and see if it’s here !” Sounds to me like there’s possibly 200 new customers, but not at K-3 tactical they went out of their way to guarantee that not only will I never shop there I will go out of my way to tell people about my experience.
God has changed my heart and hope he changes yours too.
This is great local store with excellent customer service.
I’m so glad I found this gem right here in north port! I took my concealed weapons training class with Ken the owner. He is beyond knowledgeable and patient and takes time to answer all your questions. He is an excellent teacher and has the experience to back it up! Overall totally awesome experience and I can’t wait to purchase my firearm from him as well. Thanks Ken!
I have been around firearms the majority of my life. And just because I drive a car doesnt make me Mario Andretti, just like being able to safely handle a firearm doesnt make me a Seal Team 6 sniper. In the past I have taken several firearms courses but none compared to the class I took with Ken. I was at the North Port pd today to get my fingerprints and there were 37 people in line waiting for their ccw fingerprints. Honest hard working people are frightened as to our current events. If you want to ensure you can defend your self and your loved ones this is a great place to start. It was well worth the entry fee.
Excellent training!!! Because of the small class, it made it more personal and allowed the instructor to answer our questions with in depth responses. It also allowed us to ask questions without being self-conscious.Would recommend to anyone.
Great place! Had a transfer shipped there, transaction was smooth and simple. Picked up a couple more items while I was there. Great shop!!
Bought a gun online and had the transfer completed by K3 Tactical. First time there and I believe it was Ken (owner) that I dealt with when I went in. He was a complete gentleman and helped me with purchasing my rear sight and extra magazine. The transfer was smooth and the experience top notch. I will be back!! Thank you Ken!
Ken is very knowledgeable, he has an excellent customer service skills. I highly recommend this place. 10 Star *
I took my concealed weapon license training class at K3 with Ken. He was thorough, complete and explained the importance of responsibilities as a gun owner, laws (they change often so stay on top of the laws)and most important safety. I recommend taking his course as a first-time gun owner or even a refresher course. You can see when he speaks how important his job is to him and his love for what he does. Thank you Ken and your lovely wife for making me feel comfortable, safe and part of your K3 family.Jennifer Smart
Great prices, great service. Keith knows what he’s talking about when it comes to firearms. Cheaper to get ammo here than anywhere online plus you don’t have to wait for shipping.
My husband and I took the Concealed Weapons Class and we both thought Ken did an amazing job. He went above and beyond with explanation on safety, laws, scenarios and most of all safety! He even took the guns apart to show us exactly how they work. His knowledge, friendly personality, patience, professionalism, positive energy and passion for what he does, really shines through. Ken is all about safety and he really made us feel at ease with his approach. I learned more in his class than I did in the 2 classes I took in MA. When we were at the range he didn’t rush us through. He made sure everyone was practicing safety as well as being comfortable with handling and shooting the guns. Ken really cares about each and every student. If you are even thinking about taking a class, buying a gun or have a question, we would highly recommend Ken. He will definitely steer you in the right direction for you. Ken we cannot thank you enough. You are an amazing instructor and person. Thank you again, see you soon.
Ken and his knowledge are excellent. He is a great instructor with his ccw class. Help my wife and I get set up with the right guns for us.
My wife, son and I recently met Ken and his wife at a gun show, and we are so glad that we did. They are knowledgeable and professional and a cool couple. We are planning on getting a concealed weapons class at K3 Tactical in the near future, Im looking forward to that. Ill do a review afterwards. I highly recommend Ken and his shop for all your weapons needs. 5 Stars.
Love love LOVED this class! For someone knowing absolutely nothing (and I mean nothing) about handguns, I left feeling not only comfortable holding one but knowledgeable about it as well. He takes the time to work in small groups so everyone feels comfortable asking questions and getting familiar with the guns. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to get their license!! I also loved that he brought us to a range where we were the only ones shooting and spent time working on our form and again, make sure we were COMFORTABLE handling a gun. Very personable and breaks everything down so it is easily understood!
I have now purchased 5 firearms from Ken. I can buy these firearms from anywhere, however I go to Ken for his exceptional customer service. He goes above and beyond for every one of his customers. I will buy my next 5 firearms from K3 Tactical. Thanks for helping me with more than just “buying” a firearm.Highly recommend!!!
Ken did a great job answering all of our questions during the concealed weapons class. He also answered all of our questions at the range and took the time to show us the proper way to shoot. I look forward to taking other firearms classes from Ken in the near future.
K3 Tactical is the best place for firearms training. Kenneth is a very knowledgeable instructor who is passionate about firearm safety. If youre looking for somewhere to learn about getting your concealed weapons, defiantly go here!
Kenneth Gill was very thorough in his teaching of the Concealed Weapons Class. We had a private class, and we learned so much. I was so appreciative of the way he taught, continually focusing on safety. He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable with the handling of many different types of handguns. When we went to the range to qualify, we were able to stay until all of us were satisfied and comfortable with firing each of the different handguns. That was huge in my book! I would highly recommend Ken to anyone interested in taking the Firearms Safety course. His cost is extremely reasonable and he is a very knowledgeable Instructor.
I took the concealed carrying class and it was great. Ken is very patient and understanding. He is a great teacher and breaks everything down in easy terms for people to understand. At the range he is the best. He really helps you become comfortable holding and handling a gun. He helps you know where you are shooting. If you are a person who is not 100% sure about guns and carrying this is definitely the class for you. By the end of the class you will know that you can do it safely and you will have a 100% understanding of guns. I would recommend this class to the everyone not matter what your skill level is. Thanks Ken.
I had a really good experience at K3 Tactical for the concealed weapon class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and informative in the information he provided to me. He took the time to make sure I understood all information to be successful in being a concealed weapon carrier. All necessary equipment was provided. Highly suggest K3 tactical for firearm education.
Instructor was very passionate and down to Earth. Made the information easy to understand. I would HIGHLY recommend this location for anyone interested in taking the concealed weapons permit class. Thanks Ken!
Very disappointed with this shop. My husband stopped in to order a holster and ammo. Ken at the shop has several times “forgot to order” when I called to check on it. Ultimately we never received any of our order or ever got a returned call (and wasn’t just ammo so can’t say it’s because of ammo shortage). I later found out one of my friends set up to have a custom green AR made. When she arrived to pick it up, not only was it black but he raised the price very high and told her to just buy green stickers for it. Another friend had told me she left several messages about wanting information about the class and her 1st gun purchase and never received a call back “twice”. Needless to say I will not be trying to do business with this man and his shop or send anyone his way. Not sure if he just doesn’t like to do business with women.
Ken was very helpful in answering all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and Carrys alot of accessories in store and will install for free. Definitely had a good buying experience and will be back.
Thoroughly enjoyed the intimate class setting, instruction and hands on training at the firing range. Kens knowledge of the gun laws and expertise in firearms made it not only educational, but alot of fun! Great husband and wife team and we would highly recommend K3 Tactical to anyone!!!!
This was an awesome experience for me! I learned so much in this class, a lot more than I was expecting to, which was great. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and has a great personality. The staff is very friendly. I definitely recommend this class to everyone. And I would like to thank Kenneth for all his time, me and my group really appreciate it. I dont understand why anyone would ever complain about spending a little extra time in the class, after all youre there to learn as much you can 😊
If youre looking for a great, inexpensive class then look no further! They explain everything down to a T. Best instructor you can ask for in my opinion. Very very fun and informative class, I urge you to take this class if youre looking to get your concealed weapons permit.
Nice guy helpful and intelligent just keep your dogs out of the store
Had a great class at K3 Tactical. Ken was personable, interesting, and thorough in training and answering our questions. Taught me hiw to shoot straighter and I have more confidence in self protection. K3 Tactical gets a 10!
Stopped by today and picked up some cool accessorie parts for my 19X. Ken helped me out a lot and even installed the parts for free. The service is tops, he even cleaned my gun. You will never receive better service than that from anyone!!!! I will definitely be back! THANK YOU :-)
Excellent class and training, true professional trainer Kenneth Gill. He demonstrated extensive knowledge in handling and training with firearms, highlighting existing laws, safe handling, and storage of firearms. Respectfully answered my questions. I will certainly go to other classes with him to improve my knowledge of firearms, safety and legislation. I would definitely recommend it.
Ken is very experienced and is a great personalized instructor both in the classroom and at the range. He patiently answers all your questions and is a great hands-on instructor. I would highly recommend K3 Tactical Training for your for all your on-going training, gun maintenance and repair.
Learned a lot at the class and Ken did a great job answering all our questions. He made sure we feel comfortable handling the firearms and understood how everything worked. He also has offered to answer questions outside of class if we have any so we now have a resource for any questions we may have in the future!
I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering visiting this establishment. The staff is upbeat, very knowledgeable, helpful, and very informative. They truly care about each and every element of their business. Thanks Ken
This class was very educational. After completing the course I am confident in the handling of my firearm and general gun safety. I would highly recommend K3 Tactical to anyone of any age.
Kens a really good teacher! We had a great time learning about guns and the laws that go with them. We all loved going to the range and squeezing off some rounds!! Thanks Ken!
The class was a real pleasure and very educational and interesting. Learned many things and pray we can keep them all in my head. Sorry it took us so long to respond.John Chase and Nancy Gross
Awesome place!
Professional and exceptional service. Highly recommend.
My husband William a/k/a Bud took the course today May 8, 2018. He said it was very informative and enjoyable. He wants to thank Ken for the class he felt it was well worth every penny. thank you
This was an excellent class, the instructor was very knowledgeable and prepared. I would recommend this class to a novice or experienced shooter. I have been shooting for a few years and I learned some new things in this class.
Excellent class, very in depth, you notice right away that Kenneth is extremely interested and knowledgeable in what he is teaching. They provide a very high level of customer service in their shop.
Great service, knowledgeable, and reasonable prices. I look forward to stopping back every chance I get. Thanks Ken!
A very interesting and detailed class Ken did a great job
Kenny and Lisa at K3 Tactical Training were awesome. Lisa checked me in without a hitch. Kenny taught the class and instructed us on the range. I learned not only local laws, NRA membership advantages, but most importantly, gun safety. I learned how to disassemble/reassemble my new gun but others as well. I enjoyed shooting on the range and wish we could have done more of that. I will have to take another class for improved accuracy and more advanced skills. Overall I was very satisfied with their professionalism and the fun we had. Id recommend them to anyone who wants to learn more about weapons. Thanks Kenny and Lisa! They really deserve 5 stars but Kenny did talk quite a bit and we ran over the time expected. ;-)
Very informative staff provided Verified information. Very helpful. Answered everything I asked and was more than patient. Would recommend!
The class was perfect all questions thoughts douts were answered. Also my wife and I took the class, she went in with out being able to rack her slide, she now can fully function her firearm and get shots on target thanks to Ken with k3 Tactical i highly recommend this class to everyone.
Let me start off this review by stating before I took this class I could not even be in a room with an unloaded gun without shaking and all kinds of thoughts running through my mind – 1 word TERRIFIED. I finally brought myself to sign up for this course to educate and protect myself, minutes before the class started I found myself sitting in my car texting a friend that I couldn’t do it, and I wasn’t going into the class – after talking me down I decided to put my big girl pants on and go inside Boy am I glad I did! This class was hands down the best experience I have ever had! It exceeded my expectations! The course was full of knowledgeable and valuable safety information as well as the laws. Kenny Gill, the instructor is by far the most patient man on the planet! By the time the 3-hour course had ended I was holding & dry shooting several types of guns with ease! I still can’t believe someone was able to make my fears go away as quickly as Kenny did! Kenny could answer all my questions (even the ones I thought were stupid to ask) and made me understand what I was asking. If I didn’t understand a question he would show me what he was talking about which helped me out a lot! Kenny is the perfect balance of professionalism and funny – he made the class such a positive experience for me! After the course, we headed out to the gun range, I am not going to lie my fears crept back up on the 7-minute drive over there, I allowed all the other classmates (which were 3 others, small and intimate class which was another plus for me) to shoot ahead of me. My turn up to the plate – GUESS WHAT? I did it and I did well! I had others in the class and the instructor complimenting me on my stance, grip and shooting – it felt good to know I have accomplished something I had fears about for as long as I can remember.I have been out of the class now for 3 weeks, but Kenny has still stuck by my side in every way possible to make sure I am 100% comfortable in the range. I have gone shooting with him every week since my class and I am getting better and better! My last time shooting I hit the bullseye (more than once). He is allowing me to try all types of firearms until I find what fits me. He is an absolutely amazing instructor and now a friend. If you’re looking for a concealed weapons class that #1 won’t break the bank, #2 is full of informative information & fun and #3 has a great instructor – LOOK NO FURTHER THAN K3 TACTICAL TRAINING – You will not be disappointed. I recommend this class to advanced shooters and beginners. If Kenny could get me to touch & shoot a gun, I am 150% positive he can teach anyone!
Excellent course to take! I would highly recommend k3 tactical for anyone who is interested in taking the concealed weapons course.
I liked that Ken took time to explain the laws and possible penalties associated with the state of Florida.
Excellent training class, very informative, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend this training program.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Walked in timid of handguns and walked out feeling completely comfortable with more information than I could ever imagine. Beyond professional.
I decided to conceal carry after being stalked/harassed several times over the last year. I wanted a comprehensive class that would give me both knowledge & confidence and K3 Tactical’s CCW permit class was the perfect fit. If you truly want to learn about Florida gun laws and walk out feeling confident about carrying & firing your weapon, this is the class you want! Ken is very knowledgeable & honestly enjoys sharing what he knows. He is patient & does a great job adjusting his teaching to fit the experience level of each student. He is quick to point out your strengths & gives well thought out suggestions for improving grip, stance, firing, etc. And he does it all with a smile & genuine enthusiasm! The day I walked into K3 Tactical, handling any pistol felt awkward & uncomfortable...since taking the CCW class & hitting the range a few times, handling my Smith & Wesson EZ feels completely natural. I highly recommend Ken’s CCW class to anyone wanting to conceal carry in Florida!
Great class full of information learned alot will be back to take more classes soon
Very comfortable setting, easy to understand and one on one when needed.
Amazing instructor will answer everything you need to know
