    Just complete another training class with Mike from Group 6 and enjoyed another stellar experience. Mike has such a great way of being flexible and teaching you where you are at without any condescension. Regardless of the subject being taught or the genre in which I encounter Mike, I am always better for having been around him.

    My wife and I really enjoyed Mike Duff’s private LTC class and private gun lesson! He is professional, knowledgeable, encouraging and kind. We liked him very much! He’s a cool dude! The LTC class was thorough and informative, and the tips he gave us in the gun lesson equipped us to successfully pass the proficiency test. He’s a great teacher! He has a great analytical mind. We couldn’t have found anyone better. We trained with Mike Duff October 21-22, 2020. Thank you, Mike! God bless you!

    I’ve been attending Mike’s classes regularly over the last 5 years, and can say with no uncertainty that he is the best instructor that I have had the pleasure of training under. He’s safe, knowledgeable, and most importantly he is easy to learn from. His classes are fun while still being on the cutting edge of tactics and technique. No matter how many courses I take he always has more to teach and build off of, and I plan on being a regular G6T student from here on out.

    Mike did an amazing job helping me get comfortable with a gun and shooting. I started out very intimidated by the situation bc I didn’t really feel like it was my choice and I ended feeling more confident than ever and I was pretty impressed with my accuracy, so that was exciting. He has a great heart and listens to you and helps you gain the confidence you need to defend your home and family…..thanks again!!!

    Mike taught my police academy firearms section, both handgun and patrol rifle. He is a modest professional. He takes the time to explain the hows and whys that make things click for people like me. I have been shooting for 20 years and have trained with other individuals in the past, but Mike did more for my handgun accuracy in a week than others had in years. I highly recommend him as an instructor.

    He is an outstanding individual. Mike Duff is very knowledgeable with great experience (look at his resume)! He knows what he is doing. I have taken a couple of classes with him and each class I learn something new. Let me tell you, I used to think everything that was Taught to me from firearms training (police academy) was right, hoewever, I was wrong. Mike had to re-teach me everything from the basics to become more efficient with my firearm. If you want professional, fun, and productive firearms training, take a class with Mike! I highly recommend him! He is one hell of an instructor!

    Group6training and Mike Duff provides a comprehensive TX LTC class, as well as other valuable training. Although license requirements did not require, I recently refreshed the LTC class with Mike & Group6 primarily to catch up on new rules & refs, but also to get a refresher on the right way to conduct yourself while armed. Safety is continually stressed and the message clear and concise. I’ll continue to trust Group6 & Mike for further education

    I took a private lesson from Mike, because I was shooting everything to the left side of the target. Mike showed me how he grips a gun & adjusted my grip. He also worked with me on how to address the trigger. When we were done, I was eating the center of the target up. He got me in the middle of the target. If you just want to shoot your handgun a whole lot better than you were, you need to get with Mike & take his class. I am really pleased with the results & highly recommend, Mike & Group 6 Training

    I am part of a small private group that has been training with Mike at Group6 for several years. Looking back, it’s hard to imagine how far I have come in terms of accuracy, confidence, and situational awareness, but Mike has made it very simple. He really knows how to break down training concepts, new and old, in a way that is understandable and repeatable. Mike is an exceptional instructor/teacher that I continue to learn from.
    I look forward to every training session with Mike and I highly recommend his services.

    I had the pleasure of taking the Group 6 Carbine class in February 2019. Even though I almost froze to death, I had a wonderful experience. I have never been professionally trained (civilian or otherwise) and I was very comfortable during this class. When I got a little flustered, he slowed down and helped me. He never belittled me as some men would have.

    Being the only female in the class, he never made me feel less than adequate compared to the guys which was something I had been worried about. I learned more about gun/rifle safety than I knew and he not only told you what to do, he gave you the WHY behind it with easy to comprehend statements.

    You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, which in my opinion is what makes him someone that’s a superb teacher.

    I’m looking forward to his Tactical Pistol class I’m signed up for in April 2019.

    I recently attended an Applied Combat Tactics (Rifle) class instructed by Mike Duff. His approach to safety was outstanding. Safe weapons handling was instilled every minute of the class. Mike’s instruction on tactics was easy to understand. He followed with instruction with demonstration which led to hands on performance. Mike’s commutated the instructions with clarity and was receptive to questions. He was very know knowledgeable about the topic. Mike made it a great learning experience.

    I first met Mike of Group 6 Training as a recruit at the police academy. This was a week long course that involved both class and range time. I was impressed with Mike’s extensive background in Law Enforcement, but even more so by the way he continues to learn and develop himself as an instructor. Since graduating the police academy I have taken two more of Mikes classes (Carbine and Low Light). His classes are fun and provide a wealth of knowledge. The best instructors continue to train and learn so they can keep their classes current and provide the best experience for their students. I believe Mike is one of those instructors. I will continue to learn from Mike and would recommend him to any level shooter.

    My wife and I had a 2 hour private lesson with Mike and it was awesome! Mike’s emphasis on safety was presented clearly and stressed as the most important part of gun ownership and gun use. At the end of our lesson, we both shot very high scores on our LTC qualifying. We then took Mike’s LTC class and it was great too! Mike’s years of experience adds so much to the class. He puts things in real everyday terms and it makes much more sense than listening to someone lecture. I have scheduled another private lesson with Mike to further improve my shooting skills. The price is fair and you get much more than you pay for. Mike is really great and wants people to carry safely and responsibly. I highly recommend Mike to anyone interested in improving their weapons knowledge and skills.

    I took the LTC class from Mike in November 2017, along with a private lesson.

    The LTC was thorough. Mike covered not only the basic material, but discussed practical issues of carrying and living with your weapon, using examples from his background as a police officer. Mike is also an excellent teacher. Much more than just presenting material, he teaches, connecting with the students, helping them to relate with specific examples and situations.

    The private lesson was shared with another student. One of us was a relatively new shooter and the other had several years experience as a shooter. Mike was a teacher to both, reinforcing safety issues as well as improving shooting ability for confrontation situations.

    I recommend Mike as an instructor both the classroom and on the range. I intend to continue recurring training with Mike.

    Lastly, I continue to follow upcoming classes being offered by Group 6 training, and highly recommend his entire program.

    Mike Duff brings a high level of professionalism and many years of experience to the range. I’ve had the privilege of both teaching with Mike and learning from Mike. Mike taught my firearms instructor course, and I am continuously learning to be a better instructor from him. Mike is very passionate about teaching, and has a great way of explaining ideas in understandable terms. Mike is also passionate about safety. You’ll always see Mike following the same safety rules he expects of his students. This is a trait you won’t see in every firearms instructor. Don’t pass up an opportunity to take a class from Mike at Group 6 Training!

    Mike Duff with Group 6 Training is a great instructor. His training classes are all top notch. I have been shooting at a high level for many years, but after going through one of his classes, there were a couple of things that I changed when I shoot, that made a dramatic difference. Through years of experience, Mike knows which techniques work. Highly recommended.

    Our organization has used Mike Duff/Group 6 Training for the past three years and we cannot say enough good things about him and his instruction. He literally takes a new, large random group at all skill-levels who are the furthest from experts you can get and provides us with the safest instruction and specialized training in the most professional and courteous way. He and his team are engaging, thorough, rigorous, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. They always give critiques in a safe and positive way and they always give praise when it is due. This is especially nice when in a group setting with your peers! Everyone leaves our events feeling accomplished and is already asking about the next event before it is even over. We are actually doubling our number of events with him this year due to all of the response and positive feedback from our organization and beyond. Highly, highly recommend Group 6 Training for all your training needs!

This was time well spent and a real value for the quality of training, equipment and instructors. I definitely recommend any instructor-led course taught by Mike Duff.

The six hour session went by very fast because of Mike’s experience and his ability to add antidotal stories to firearm legislation to prevent the whole class from falling asleep. Mike was thorough and articulate and I am definitely going to consider taking some of the training classes he offers through his Group 6 Training organization. If needed, I would be happy to provide any reference he may need.

As for the private lesson I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking to improve. Very quickly Mike helped me with both my grip and trigger pull. I will definitely be signing up for some different classes at Group 6 Training the future with Mike to help me continue to become a better shooter and gun owner.

    everything was done in an extremely safe and professional manner. All the people I was in class with were fantastic and there were no attitudes other than learning. We also got a bonus medical class.
    Absolutely will be doing this again.

I check his website weekly for the next TEST to come up. Mike is an excellent instructor and I always impressed by the wealth of knowledge he has gained over his years of experience! Mike rocks!

    Group 6 Training instructor Mike Duff teaches real world scenarios that can be applied to everyday life. He knows and understands his students needs and can accommodate to any skill level. Great training great instructor. Thinkers before shooters. I’m former military and I learned how to spot and correct the bad habits I formed over the years.

    I took Mike’s Defensive Handgun class. Mike is very thorough for both beginners and experienced professionals. If you’re in the DFW area, Group 6 Training is where you should start!

    I’ve had the opportunity to train with Mike Duff in a group setting, one on one, and in the classroom. He is knowledgeable and has the ability to share that knowledge in a way that the students can easily understand. His instruction method and drills have helped me become a more accurate shooter. I will continue to train with Mike at Group 6 Training every chance I get.

    I would train with Mike every week if I could. Did a combat Pistol and Carbine course with Mike a few years back. Loved it!

    Mike’s way of instructing is spot on. Goes at YOUR pace; he doesn’t speed through anything in order to get done faster.

    I would recommend Mike from Group 6 Training to anyone from a first time shooter to an advanced/professional shooter; my wife….my kids….my mom.

    Mike, thank you for your years of service to the great citizens of Euless!

    Mike Duff of Group 6 Training has been a positive role model/mentor to me. I liked guns before moving to the Dallas area but I now LOVE firearms and the concealed carry lifestyle that he has modeled. I met Mike when I took his CHL class in 2012, I was impressed with his professionalism, vast knowledge and amazing training skills. I have taken every class Mike has offered for the past 5 years, some 2-3 times: Combat Mindset, Defensive Handgun, Carbine Operator, Multi Gun Training and TEST (scenario based training using simunition). Mike has inspired me to pursue my Firearms Instructor Certification to increase my knowledge and skills even more. Following the recent church shootings we are offering the LTC class at our church and Mike will, of course be our trainer. Mike you are the BEST!

    My wife and I took Mike’s CHL/LTC class in March of 2012, he couldn’t have done a better job covering and explaining all of the material.

    Regardless of whether you’re an experienced gun owner or just a beginner, he speaks to you on a level you can understand.

    Since then I’ve been through 5 of his other classes and will continue to attend more.

    Hand down Mike is one of the best

    I am a law enforcement officer in the DFW area and have trained with Mike Duff at Group 6 Training numerous times for my department’s range days. I reached out to Mike before a particularly challenging firearms qualification course and asked for some one on one training. Mike took me step by step through my holster placement, draw, grip, sight picture, and trigger press. In just a few hours, Mike helped improve the speed and efficiency of my draw and had me delivering accurate shots on target more quickly than I have been able to in the past. Mike is a knowledgeable and experienced instructor that I will continue to seek out for training.

    I took the Concealed Carry Class on March 18th. Mike’s Group 6 Training Program was an excellent choice. This isn’t the first class like this that I’ve taken. (Other licenses, other States.) It was, however, the best and also the most informative. Mike’s experience as a Police Officer lends an exceptional edge to the training, in that it teaches not just “how to carry”, but also “how to not screw up” while carrying”, “how to survive carrying”, and “how to survive if you actually had to use your gun”. As an experienced trainer and supervisor at my own workplace, I can truly appreciate someone who not only knows their work, but can also convey their knowledge to their students in an easily understandable format. Our class came from all walks of life, and age groups, but none of us had any trouble understanding, and learning what was taught. (Several of us discussed this at the range, before target shooting.) I highly recommend Group 6 Training.

    Group 6 Training is absolutely worth your investment. I worked with Mike prior to his private sector endeavors and I can tell you he’s an amazing instructor with years of experience in law enforcement, a patient teacher, and a genuinely good man who wants to make his clients better whatever their goals are. Whether you’re simply looking to get your CHK and become comfortable with being able to protect yourself and your loved ones or you’re a seasoned operator looking to further sharpen your skillet Group 6 is an excellent choice to make that happen!

    In 2016, I was extremely fortunate to have
    taken Mike’s LTC, course. The curriculum was extensive, and thorough. But more
    importantly, Mike’s ability to connect with each and every student- on a civilian
    level, was amazing.

    Additionally, I went on to take Mike’s
    Defensive Handgun, and Dynamic Carbine & Handgun, classes. These classes are
    awesome and packed with constant safety
    instructions. As a result, I continue to gain knowledge and confidence, in what I consider to be the ultimate responsibility; handling firearms.

    Lastly, I continue to follow upcoming classes being offered by Group 6 Training, and highly recommend his entire program.

    I have been taking Mike’s Carbine and Handgun course every month at Group 6 Training since June 2015 and continues to improve my shooting ability with each session.
    His classes are dynamic, constructive, and most importantly fun for people of all skill levels. He has a very relaxed teaching style while still putting heavy emphasis on proper technique.
    He is by far the most skilled, knowledgeable, and humble instructor that I have had the pleasure of learning from, and I look forward to years of his training to come.

    I took my LTC class in January 2017 with Group 6 Training, Mike was fantastic! I really enjoyed his style of instruction and his ability to enguage the entire class. While qualifying at the range, Mike was adamant about safety and even gave some additional (free) training on improving my grip style. My end result was a perfect qualifying score, and a sense of confidence about my personal safety. I highly recommend him for LTC instruction or any other class he provides.

    I took the LTC class with Mike in mid March 2017 and it was much more useful than I expected.

    Not only did Mike teach the required material for state licensing, he took the time to teach you how to be a responsible gun owner.

    Chances are I will never have to use the knowledge Mike gave me, but if I do I will be confident and safe.

    Mike is the best, and he is a good person. You should use Mike and Group 6 Training. Period.
