Client Testimonials

Hear what our clients have to say about their experience with Avenir.

Nice, pleasant environment to learn the CC basics. I feel super encouraged/empowered in carrying a defense weapon. 10/10 will recommend, and will for sure be taking more classes from Lipstick Tactical.

Amber Nakarmi

My wife and I did the advanced CCW class today. I recommend it for everyone who is carrying - especially NOW! Laws in CO are going to change and you should be aware of it. Matt was our trainer today, and his expertise opened my eyes for situational awareness, and how to react correctly as a law abiding citizen.

Arne Hoffmann

I took the basic CCW class and was thoroughly impressed. Amanda has a wealth of knowledge and designs her classes with a lot of thought and intention. No politics, no bias, just raw information that you need to know; as well as other important things to consider and be aware of. There’s so much responsibility to learn and uphold within gun ownership, but I feel like I could not have started my journey in a better place. I hope to be back for more training soon! Thanks again.

Diego Montez

Attended a training session which was led by Amanda recently. I found the training to be informative and helpful. Amanda was able to add personal experience and insight into the material which was highly beneficial to real world application of the information. Amanda's experience and teaching style make for a comfortable and informative learning environment. I would highly recommend Lipstick Tactical for your training needs.

Thank You Amanda!

Frank Serratore
