Welcome!
Since 1991, KR Training has been offering affordable firearms and self-defense courses in the Central Texas area. Our team of male and female instructors teach courses for all levels: beginners, average gun owners, CHL students, serious shooters, instructors and uniformed professionals.
Our CHL courses are "one stop shopping" offering prints, photos, notary, classroom, range and lunch all in one session at one location, taught by a retired Austin PD instructor at his private training facility. Our non-CHL courses are taught by a team of instructors with diverse experience in law enforcement training, defensive skills and competition shooting.
Feel free to call us anytime between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Central Standard Time. Please don't hang up if you call and get voice mail. Leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. The fastest way to get information is to email us. Unless a class is marked as 'SOLD OUT' on this page, there is space available. We accept Paypal, cash and checks.
