Delta Firearms Training – Western New York’s Premier Firearms Safety & Concealed Carry Courses

Your Trusted Partner in Firearms Education

When it comes to owning and operating a firearm, training isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. At Delta Firearms Training, we deliver expert instruction, hands-on experience, and personalized guidance that makes all the difference. Whether you’re new to firearms or an experienced shooter looking to fine-tune your skills, our courses are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow with confidence.

We are proud to be Western New York’s leading provider of New York State (NYS) Concealed Carry Pistol Permit training under the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA). Our goal is to ensure you not only meet state requirements—but exceed them in safety, accuracy, and preparedness.

  • Legal Responsibilities of Gun Ownership
  • De-escalation and Conflict Management
  • Personal Protection Fundamentals
  • Live-Fire Accuracy and Range Safety

Our training programs are built to provide comprehensive knowledge, responsible practices, and confidence in your ability to act safely and legally in any situation.
