PASSION & COMMITMENT"I instruct people on the bodies mechanics and mindset when it comes to the use of a firearm and show them the difference between rights and responsibilities when it comes to training. I myself will always be a student first and instructor second. I continue training under different instructors and courses to bring the best I can for my students."

Reviews
See what our students have to say and why they think you should train with Archangel Defense.
"Incredible! Professional training with a personal touch. You perform drills and the process to ingrain them as part of your skill set. Kerry and Archangel Defense are the Gold Standard of Firearm Training in Pittsburgh. And they’re affordable."
- Jack K. |
"I can’t speak highly enough about Archangel Defense. Kerry and his team were extremely professional and dedicated the time to provide individual coaching and detailed instruction. I have taken so much away that I can work on that will continue to develop my skills, mindset and confidence. Thank you Kerry and Team! I look forward to training with you again soon."

"Kerry is a fantastic instructor. Whether you are new to shooting or have been doing it for a while, he can teach you something new. I like that he will tailor the class (moving faster or slower through various concepts / content) based on the student skill level — this maximizes the value that you get for the time you are investing. I can’t recommend Kerry highly enough. I’ll be back for more."
