Since 1991, KR Training has been offering affordable firearms and self-defense courses in Central Texas. Our facilities are within 1 hour's drive of a large part of Central Texas, including the Austin, Bastrop, Lockhart, Giddings and Bryan/College Station areas. 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.

July 2010: The July 2010 KR Training e-news is now online. KR Training mentioned in the Polite Society article in the August 2010 issue of Gun World magazine. That issue is currently available at your favorite newsstand. Our training schedule for the remainder of 2010 is now on the schedule page.

May 2010: The May 2010 KR Training e-news is now online. Nice online coverage of our recent AT-7 course.

We are back from the 2010 Polite Society Tactical Conference, where we ran a 4 hour block of force on force scenarios. Karl placed 3rd overall in the live fire match, and KR Training instructor Brian Brown won the shoot house side match. Pictures, commentary and videos from the event are here. New Team Tactics course added to our July schedule. Due to increases in the cost of ammo and NRA materials provided to students,, tuition for Basic Pistol 1 is increasing to $80 starting with the July 10 class.

Just added a Home Defense Tactics (AT-2A) course in June.
