Mass Firearms

This was a great place to learn about the laws and how to apply for a license to carry a gun. Awesome class for beginners like me who have never shot a real gun to feel safe. The place was very clean and the equipment that we used was well maintained. Bathrooms where well lit and clean. Would definitely recommend it for people who want to learn about guns.

Awesome place went there to check the place out soon as you walk in the place is great the staff that works there are not a bunch of old dudes some of them are actually veterans and you can pick there brains there are some staff that probably need to watch some YouTube videos and learn somethings. But I will be coming a lot more!

Good experience taking the basic safety class. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve attended 2 classes at MFS and both have been excellent. The instructors are not only informative but make the class fun. Most recently I attended the Basic Firearms Safety Certification class and Sina, the instructor, was hilarious and made the class time fly by! I will absolutely take more classes from here in the future and also plan to get a membership once I get my LTC.

Took the class with my gf (as a guest) with Clark as the instructor. From the eyes of someone who’s been licensed for a couple years, Clark was informative, accurate and thorough. On top of that, we was patient, interesting and made the 4 hour class fly by. Class was lively, good interactions with the student and lots of smiles. He exceeded any and all expectations.
He was open to questions, welcoming them at all times even when talking (he said to do so). His answers were clear and detailed without being verbose. He answered as much as he knew, making sure to clarify finer points and was more than willing to help with people’s specific situations.
We had the opportunity to interact with real guns (rubber & plastic ammo) to learn how to handle them. Then there were the laser plastic guns that were used to demonstrate how to aim. Finally came the live shooting in the smaller of the 2 ranges. Target distance was 16ft, 10rnds on the Ruger MK and 5rnds on the revolver.
The shooting part was shorter than what I had when I took the course 3 years ago. I remember distinctly that we had the opportunity to shoot an AR on top of the revolver and Ruger MK. This time, it was just the latter two (both chambered in 22lr). My instructor here (not Clark) was very helpful and gave tips for the revolver when I messed up.
Overall, it was a great class. I had fun and enjoyed the 4 hour class even though I knew 99% of the info. That speaks volume about

MFS helped me get my license to carry in Massachusetts. But even more important after getting ones license is to follow up with some additional knowledge. Sort of like when you get a license to drive a car. When you get that license you aren’t really all that proficient at driving it until later on when you get more practice, experience and knowledge.
MFS has other excellent classes that help licensed owners perfect their handling, knowledge of the laws and build confidence whether it be with handguns, rifles or shotguns. I have taken advantage of some of these classes and have no regrets what-​so-​ever. The facility is clean and the employees very helpful.

Rich was a great instructor. My wife and I truly enjoyed the hour long class. If you are a beginner I highly recommend this place. Very informed team and they are willing to teach. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. I will be coming back for the 4 hour class for my license.

This is a professional organization dedicated to training in the safe handling of firearms. The personnel are top notch and know what they are doing I took the Basic Firearms Safety Course on a Saturday morning and was vey happy with all aspects including the live range shooting. So glad I found them. I’m becoming a member as soon as I get my LTC!

I recently attended the concealed carry 1 course and could not be more satisfied. The instructor is a retired marine /​active police officer with all the necessary real life experience to answer any and all questions you may have. I will be enrolling in many more classes here, the instruction is second to none!

Awesome place ! Let me start by saying I travel about an hour (well 45 – 50 mins) just to come here, good prices at the retail shop, a lot of merchandise, clean range, open late, good classes and amazing instructors. I learned a lot from these guys, I will keep coming back for more classes and guns.
Now for the bad, the only thing keeping this place from 5 stars in my book, is SOME of the staff, I feel like these guys at times don’t want to be there, I’ve brought various guests at occasions to do some shooting and meet the place, and they always have something to say about the people who they ask questions to, they almost treat you like your dumb for asking. I’ve had a few people come with me that said «they will not be returning, I have bad service shooting ranges way closer to me.»
While I can’t say I’ve been treated bad or rudely there, I know who not to ask questions to, because of how short they can be.“
None the less a great place, I’ve had 3 people join because of me.

I recently took the concealed carry 1 class at Mass Firearms School. I found the curriculum to be informative and the instructor took time to answer our questions. I will be returning to take additional classes.

If you are interested in really learning about handguns and the proper techniques dealing with real situations, I would strongly suggest to take the conceal carry classes. I just finished CC#4.
It is shooting without gun sites. very direct and makes you more aware of the situation you may be involved in. MAC is an outstanding Instructor. He keeps you alert, and has great communication as what you are doing proper or how to adjust the minor details he sees while you are practicing your movements. I am looking forward to CC #5

Took an intro class on firearms with my friend and had a great experience. We were so nervous, having never shot guns before, and I have to give it to the instructor — he was patient and knowledgable and made the whole experience really fun. We got to shoot 4 different guns, got some basic know-​hows … I’d truly recommend Mass Firearms to anyone.

These guys are excellent. All of them have a lot of experience and are very helpful. The knowledge of the instructors is really amazing. I did the basic safety course 2 years ago and went again as a guest as my 15 year old son took the course. I tell everyone about this place.

This place is awesome, they guys are really cool. Great and fast service. I’d recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a place to shoot, and have some fun.

Love this place! Lately, it’s become my home away from home. I’ve been coming here for about a year. I’m a temporary member (Groupon!), but I’ll definitely continue my membership when it’s up for renewal. All the guys are helpful, friendly, and know their stuff. Shout-​out to Kevin, who helped me buy my first firearm & all the stuff that goes with it. :) Great hours, awesome service, a ton of classes to take with instructors who keep things interesting, and a good selection of firearms to try out. Overall, a fun place to spend a few hours (or a few hundred dollars — place is full of shiny new toys). Highly recommended!

«I had some general knowledge about firearms, but I decided to do all the necessary steps to get my LTC. I was extremely satisfied with the „Basic Firearms Safety class“ I took. Dan Donahue the instructor was great. He had a lot of knowledge, was very professional and patient. All the others staff members were great also. I am now motivated to get more classes in this school because the great experience I had.»

Took the basic firearms class with my friends and it was so interesting, and the instructor was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions. The assistants were very helpful and understanding about new users. They gave each student proper attention and guidance. I highly recommend attending no matter what your political viewpoints are!

The instructors are exceptionally experience, teaching from real life professional experience. The instructors are police officers or training officers, in other words the people who train the officers, SWAT instructors, former military, etc. I had a four hour class on armed home defense that was 4 hours but felt like 2 hours. The instructor was clear and broke the principles down in practical, visual and easy to understand explanations.

I recently bought a Groupon for myself and my girlfriend who have never shot guns before. I called to get some information and spoke with Peter. He was extremely helpful and explained everything to us. We were nervous at first but after speaking with Peter we are really excited to get there this weekend. Great customer service.

My husband and I took the intro to firearms class. Pat, our instructor was very informative and patient. He took the time to explain how to handle each of the firearms, first in the classroom, then at the firing range. While my husband is familiar with firearms, it was my first time handling a firearm. I was a little nervous but our instructor was right there explaining how to properly hold the gun and how to stand correctly when firing, which helped to alleviate some of my nerves. Overall it was a positive experience. I would definitely go back. Excellent.

Took the Concealed Carry 1 class as I’m waiting for my LTC to come in. Already signed up for 2 and plan on taking 3, 4, 5 and 6. The instructor really knows what he’s talking about and I learned a lot. Can’t say enough about it! This place is legit!

we took the basic firearms class at MFS and thought it was very informative. the course gave so much information about mechanics, handling, safety, and laws. the instructor kept a really great pace during the classroom setting, so I was never bored and felt like he used the time very well. we also had a chance for hands on training in the range which was a cool aspect as well.
would definitely recommend the basic course as well as any of the advanced courses to anyone.

I recently attended my first «Mass Basic Firearms Safety Course» at Mass Firarms School. Our instructor Sina, was excellent. His firearms knowledge and skill level are A++. He was great at fully and clearly explaining about gun safety, handling, shooting and gun maintenance.
As well as our instructor, I found the rest of the staff there to be very knowledgeable, friendly and quite helpful. I look forward to returning for future gun safety classes. Very professional staff and school.

If you are a beginner this is an formative class.
If you are not a beginner, well the money machine of MA will soon part you with $ 100 of your hard earned cash. You could most likely spend that money on a more advanced course from MFS but MA has taken that out of your control.
My instructor was informative and patient with the class. He covered the material in an expeditious manner as time is of the essence for the amount of material that’s required.

This is my second class I have taken at MFS. Basic firearms and conceal carry 1. Both classes very informative and great instructors. I was able to obtain my LTC thanks to MFS. I plan on taking more classes so I can learn more about safety of firearms and the laws that go with them. I encourage others to learn about the safety of firearms

Instructor was super awesome and friendly, four hour class went by really fast I am a beginner so I was very nervous at first but by the end I felt a lot more confident. I would highly recommend coming here

Great school! Very informative. I felt like I had all the info together for me to fill out my LTC application.

Nice facility but way too crowded and long wait times for lanes, even for members. I’m thinking my membership was a mistake because too hard to get range time

I bought a Groupon for me and my fiancé for an Introductory shooting course, where we shot 4 different guns. I have been to one in the Boston area in the past, and it does not compare to the course we took at Mass Firearms. The instructor, Tim, was patient and friendly, and took the time to correct anything we were doing wrong prior to being in the range. He taught me many details that the other instructor at the other place never even bothered to mention. I am thoroughly appreciative of the experience we received with Tim and the Mass Firearms staff, and will gladly drive the extra hour to their place rather than going to any of the numerous places right down the street.

The staff at Mass Firearms were knowledgeable and patient with me. This was my first time handling a firearm and they helped me to feel at ease with various types of guns. I was pleased with the class and their attention to detail. I highly recommend the class!

This was my first time at Mass Firearms. Everyone was friendly and professional. The trainers are knowledgeable and helpful. I didn’t realize how great of a shooter I am! It is very handy to know the safety and the risks and the right way to hold a gun and the importance of checking to see if the gun is clear.
Very well done.

Professional from start to finish! Very informative basic firearms safety course. Well worth the cost to get a bit of range time for the unexperienced with some small caliber firearms, as well as the basic knowledge to begin feeling comfortable around something that has been so often vilified.

Solid training. Did the Safety Class. Live fire and excellent coverage of what you need to know to get your LTC A. Highly recommend doing their Conceal and Carry classes if you intend to do that.

Excellent service, great classes, and awesome instructors.
Very efficient and the class even came with live-​fire training!

Are you ready for a new addiction?
While scrolling through groupon pages I came across a promotion for Mass Firearms School and thought «hmmm… Why not?». I’ve never been a fan of guns and have always been intimidated by them, despite having a plethora of friends and family members as LEOs (Law Enforcement Officer) or in the military. If you’re at a stage where you’re ready to overcome that fear/​intimidation (or simply ready to learn and have some fun) MFS is the place to go.
From the moment you walk in: Guns! Guns everywhere! In cases, on the walls, in holsters on hips, EVERYWHERE! The staff is great, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions, in detail, you may have. It seems the majority of them are LEOs or ex military, not crazy ‘gun nuts’. They’re composed and sure of themselves and the firearms they oversee. It’s amazing how the media and movies can cause a person to have so many preconceived notions, then the actual experience is different.
My instructor, Frederick (praying I haven’t confused his name), is a LEO and teaching firearm handling/​safety is his passion. A loose quote «if more people were informed about guns and gun safety there would be fewer accidents.» We started in a big classroom (fortunately I was early and the rest of the class was running late so I was able to get a bit of one-​on-​one time with him) with the basics: Safety, stance, breathing, figuring which is your dominant eye, then we moved on to the shooting range.
THE SHOOTING ROOM IS LOUD AND STARTLING!
After my first few jumps at the sound of the firearms I relaxed and we started with handguns (FYI I don’t mean to toot my own horn [actually I do lol] but I’m a GREAT shot and have a great «cluster» with handguns) then moved on to the rifle and AK47. That baby is loud and booms throughout your body. It’s intimidating and that initial fear that I felt when I first walked into the building came over me momentarily but immediately subsided with the guidance and confidence of my instructor. I’m strongly considering taking that class again if the promo is still running (aside from the 4 hour certification course I’ve already purchased) so I can have more exposure to that particular gun bcz it still intimidates me a little and I don’t want to be afraid anymore!
By the time I left, I was on such a high that I practically floated out of the building. MFS is 5 stars all the way! I like to skydive but if I had to choose, I’d definitely choose the range.
I think I’ve discovered a new hobby ;)
