About The #1 Firearms Training Academy In Colorado

Headquartered in Northern Colorado, Makhaira Group (pronounced “ma-kai-ra”) is the leading public safety education and firearms training company in Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain region, dedicated to providing solid solutions rooted in current, real-world experience. We provide training in all areas of self defense including firearms safety, firearms training, concealed carry certification (CCW), and tactical pistol, rifle, and shotgun.

The word “Makhaira” is Greek for a short, fighting sword (Wiki Makhaira) used in close quarters battle.  In biblical reference, it is the word used for “sword” when describing the “sword of the Spirit” (see Ephesians 6:10-17).

Makhaira Group only teams with subject matter experts (SME’s) with real-world experience. Our instructors and team members are committed to serving you with their proven experience and knowledge.

Simply put, we don’t train for our egos – we train for your knowledge and skill.

Our mission is simple: Provide the law abiding citizen, law enforcement officer and military operator with the most appropriate, relevant, and up-to-date instruction you need to provide Colorado firearms safety and security for you, your loved ones, your neighbors and your country.

Through dynamic classroom and hands-on training, we strive to equip every student with the knowledge and skills to handle any emergency that might arise.

If you are looking to increase your knowledge and skill level either personally or professionally, Makhaira Group stands ready to serve you.
