What Our Customers Say About Us

Edd and Jake were great for my ccw class. He kept everything to the point and offered the chance for questions throughout the whole class. You can sense the amount of passion he has for teaching, shooting, safety and pretty much anything that has to do with guns. Everyone got 1 on 1 attention when we were shooting and I even seen the other instructor stay behind for a bit to give someone a little extra time who needed it. You get what you pay for and these guys are full of great knowledge and compassion.

Took my CCW cert 10/8/2021. I’ve shot a decent amount in the last few years but was never comfortable enough for my liking. So glad to have taken this class . Ed and his son, Jake , did a great job helping me get comfortable w gun lingo, ohio laws and stopping the threats . I’m looking forward to more training and be comfortable protecting myself and my family. Getting the class in one day was extremely helpful to our lifestyle and did not feel rushed at all. Thank you survival concepts and I’ll see you soon I’m sure.

The Staff made for a great experience for our ccw class. I’ve used them for gun transfers since moving to area 5 years ago. Very professional and also a pleasure to do business with. Looking forward to more courses thru them.

I have purchased ammo and fire arms through survival concepts. Great customer service and very reasonable pricing.
