“Paul Gomez is the subject matter expert on the combative use of the AK. Every serious defensive or tactical shooter needs to take this course.” – Andy Stanford, Options for Personal Security
“Paul’s knowledge of this system is virtually unlimited, and I learned a number of things I’m going to steal from him. His handling repertoire is smooth and efficient, and, like me, he is a staunch advocate of hot ranges. The vaunted Kalashnikov System will be with us for a long time, and all need to be familiar with it.” – John Farnam, Defense Training International
“Paul has forgotten more about the AK than most people ever knew” – Gabe Suarez, Suarez International
