WELCOME! We are here for you.

As Americans, we hold and treasure our God-given rights manifested in our nation’s founding documents. Among those is the right to keep and bear arms. Our founders went a step further to ensure citizens’ right to self-defense when crafting our constitution.

Our NRA and TACTICAL DEFENSE courses will familiarize you with the correct operation and maintenance of semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, rifles & shotguns along with teaching you how to handle and shoot them safely. They are perfect for the new firearm owner needing to develop their skills and for other more advanced firearm enthusiasts interested in defensive or competitive firearm courses.

The core basics of firearm marksmanship are the lifelong building blocks for many other activities including hunting or pistol shooting sports. Our course prices include all learning materials, including books, targets, range time and are taught by experienced NRA Certified Instructors in a very relaxed environment setting.

We have redefined tactical training. Learn from professional instructors in a safe and dynamic environment. These aren't your typical gun classes.

Delta Tactical Defense instructors believe in a real life approach to training. It is not enough to learn how to shoot holes in paper. We believe that “perfect” practice makes perfect. So, we must train for real life. We are dedicated to providing a quality, safe, and professional training environment to every student. We can help any level of shooter from beginner to experienced. We offer training to civilians, private security, police, and many government agencies.

Our instructor staff is composed of individuals with the highest levels of training and operational experience in both military and law enforcement. We are not only trained in our methods and tactics, but in the teaching and presentation of those as well. Our staff training never ends and we regularly seek out continued training from firearms academies around the country. We have been privileged to learn from some of the world's best firearms tactics instructors. We strongly believe in the evolution of training. If the tactics do not work, find a better way; if there is a better way, learn it.

What Courses Do We Offer?

Our goal is to create realistic, well thought out, and easy to understand concealed carry training courses.

Tactical Defense Courses

Delta Tactical Defense offers a variety of tactical weapons course training for firearm operators of all levels of experience. With our tactical courses, gun owners and those with a concealed carry permit can continue their gun education beyond the NRA Basic Pistol Course. Delta Tactical Defense training courses provide a tactical advantage in real-world situations.

Our tactical carbine courses provide semi-automatic rifle users the skills required to become an exceptional shooter. We know that true threat mitigation and confrontation avoidance comes from human behavior pattern recognition, knowing how to defend oneself unarmed, situational awareness, and decision making under pressure.

Delta Tactical Defense teaches individuals the tools necessary to manipulate an environment based on a "human terrain" that is observable when you know what to look for. This course is ideal for anyone traveling to a high-risk area, law enforcement officials, first responders and even managers. 

Our Philosophy

We strive to Continuously Update, Upgrade and Enhance your experiences both in the classroom and on the range.

Our foundation is built upon NRA training programs and methods (the Gold Standard). Simply stated, they are time proven (decades and decades…), delivered to standards developed by the NRA and enhanced by our team and tools. We work to exceed NRA requirements and exceed your expectations. We focus on:

Knowledge
Skills
Attitude

We also work to make things FUN. If you leave our classes still nervous, or not having a fulfilling day, we have failed. Guiding our students to perform at NRA standards is the minimum requirement. Making sure that you WANT to go to the range later, be safe, and enjoy one of the most varied sports is our mission.

We are minimalists

We keep it simple. We build on basic training, and then if you wish we’ll get you to the next level, and another, and another. If you want to be an instructor, we can asst you in achieving those goals. Our Instructors are trained to and must perform at the quality, ethical, and professional standards of the NRA.

  • After taking Peter’s pistol permit course, I would happily refer all family and friends to his class. He has the utmost patience, vast knowledge and really emphasizes on basics and safety. If you want to leave a course feeling like you’ve really gained knowledge and have a good base for firearm safety, then Peter is your instructor. He is knowledgeable about many different types of firearms, and has shown his great respect for their safety in terms of usage, storage, handling and child safety. He has patience and a calming persona while instilling a sense of confidence during the practical. Thank you so much Peter... you made this dream come true.

  • Great classes, very knowledgeable. I could not have been happier with the experience, and would recommend his class to anyone. He made me feel comfortable and capable both in the “classroom”, and on the range. Without a doubt, one of the NRA’s best. Thank you Peter for such a wonderful experience!

  • Phenomenal instructor. Peter was very knowledgeable and the class and range time was very engaging. I was very nervous at first, but his way of teaching made me feel safe and relaxed right away especially at the range. I highly recommend Peter Ferreira for all your firearm safety training needs.

  • Peter Ferreira is an excellent instructor. His knowledge, experience and communication skills made the class enjoyable and easy to complete. If you want to obtain a Connecticut Pistol Permit, a handgun safety class is required. I highly recommend taking that class with certified NRA Instructor, Peter Ferreira.
