RJR Firearms was established with one mission: to share our knowledge and vast experience with high quality firearms to the Akron/Cleveland and surrounding areas. We possess refined skills in the art of designing, building and repairing firearms of all types, including pistols, revolvers, hunting rifles, military rifles, shotguns and specialty weapons.
The overriding responsibility of our gunsmiths are to ensure that the firearms we are working on operate safely and according to specifications. All of the mechanisms of the guns must be inspected for safety, and any deficiencies must be fixed before the job can commence or continue. Please see our Common Services section for all your gunsmithing needs.
Having nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, as a SWAT Operator and Homicide Detective, a passion for excellence and the drive to help share the respect of weapons and tactics with others, RJR Firearms offers certified training through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) and the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA)

Firearm Training Courses
It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it

Concealed Carry Classes
The Ohio Concealed Carry Course (CCW) teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and operating a pistol safely. This is a one day course consisting of 6-hours of classroom and 2-hours of range time learning to shoot revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Students learn rules for: safe gun handling, pistol parts and operation, ammunition, shooting fundamentals, range rules, two handed and one handed shooting positions, cleaning the pistol, and continued opportunities for skill development.

Advanced Pistol Courses
Next Step CCW:
This course is designed around the actual carrying of a concealed weapon. Students should wear normal everyday dress attire, and carry their weapon as they normally would from day to day. A current CCW license is required to attend this training.
​
Combat Pistol:
The class will have a strong emphasis on shooting accurately while still building speed. Lectures and drills will involve an in-depth look at marksmanship fundamentals and their proper application.
