Friendly Village Firearms- Training & Trading

What we are: Friendly Village Firearms (FVF) is first and foremost an education service providing USCCA-based courses in firearms, primarily handguns. FVF does not carry firearms inventory. However, FVF does carry a limited quantity of Ruger ARX self-defense handgun ammunition, manufactured by PolyCase, in most popular handgun calibers.

What we are not: FVF is not a "gun shop" in the traditional sense. FVF is not a licensed gunsmith and FVF is not a pawn shop. However, we are federally licensed to trade in firearms. At the moment, our "trading" is restricted to primarily on line purchasing. FVF is a registered dealer with several major distributors, e.g. Cabelas, Brownells, Davidson's, Lipsey's, and Zanders to mention a few. In addition to firearms, most of these distributors supply ammunition and accessories: firearms in 2-3 days; ammunition and accessories, in typically 5-7 days.

FVF's goal? At some point, FVF's education service hopes to "graduate" to a store front operation with a classroom and possibly a range therein.

At $40 a class, FVF believes its courses are competitively priced. Please visit our web site and see the course pages and listings on the "Schedule" page for more information. Please call for special pricing, e.g. for families, and please call if interested in FVF teaching a course at another location. Most of our classes are half day classes, i.e. you may register for: 8:00 AM - Noon or 1:00-5:00 PM Monday - Saturday... except Sunday and holiday weekends (i.e. Fri-Sat-Sun). When requested; if it's not a Sunday or holiday weekend and there's enough daylight to conduct Course of Fire (range time) after the last lesson of instruction, the Basic Handgun Course and the Advanced Handgun Course may be combined into a 9-hour class day from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, with a one hour break for lunch at Noon!
