Private handgun training in Miami means one thing at Tactical U: you and Stephen Cohen, no distractions, no group pace, no compromise. Every session is built around your current skill level, your carry setup, and the specific gaps in your performance. Whether you have never fired a handgun or you carry daily and want to sharpen your edge, the instruction adapts to you. This is how law enforcement trains. Now it is available to you.
Unlike group tactical training courses in Florida, our private firearms training provides dedicated one-on-one attention from expert tactical instructors who customize each session to your specific defensive goals and skill level.
Whether you’re seeking private tactical training for concealed carry preparation, competitive shooting development, or advanced defensive skills, our Miami firearms training adapts to your pace and priorities.
Each private session focuses on your individual performance – from fundamental gun handling to tactical shooting under pressure. Our tactical instructors in Miami FL bring decades of law enforcement and tactical firearms experience to every private handgun training session.

This course is for training purposes only. Tactical U makes no representations or guarantees regarding legal use-of-force decisions or the outcomes of defensive engagements. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with your local, state, and federal laws regarding firearms and self-defense.
All students must sign a liability waiver prior to participating. No student may proceed without acknowledging and accepting full responsibility for their actions, decisions, and adherence to safety protocols during and after training.

Between range days, dry fire is where the fundamentals get built. The tool I tell my students to use is the SIRT laser training pistol from Next Level Training: a resetting trigger and a laser that shows your trigger press, with zero live ammunition. Compare the models: the SIRT 110 (Glock 17/22 features), the SIRT 115 (Glock 17 features, metal slide, optic-ready option), the SIRT 107 (Smith & Wesson M&P features) or the SIRT 20 series. The TruBreak trains trigger control, and the SIRT SPOT simulates a reflex sight on a SIRT 110, 115, 115C, 107, 20 or Pocket Pistol (not ORS cuts).
