About Simshot

Simshot is a firearms training facility in Meridian, ID that pairs a shooting simulator with classroom and live-fire instruction. Reviewers come for the concealed carry classes, for simulator scenarios and for pistol coursework, and one reviewer describes the training as "practical, scenario-based training." Several reviewers also mention date nights there.

The enhanced concealed carry class is the course reviewers mention most. Reviewers describe a classroom day followed by a day on the range, and one says the 8 hours are split into two 4 hour classes. Other courses named in reviews include a Pistol 1 class and a Fundamentals Mastery Course, where one reviewer covered stance, grip and trigger control with pistols during 8 hours of learning.

The simulator is described as a way to work through decision-making. Two reviewers describe a discussion after the scenarios about what happened and why decisions were made, and one reviewer describes a church security group session that split its time between the simulator and classroom instruction. The live-fire part of the concealed carry class is where the range comes in: one reviewer says the class has access to an outdoor range for the shooting portion, another describes a day of live-fire qualification held at a gun range, and a third says the instructors gave each person feedback after each round of shooting.

Simshot offers concealed carry classes in Meridian, Idaho, along with simulator sessions for individuals, couples and groups.

BEST training I've received by FAR!!! Nick knows his stuff. My husband and I did date night and had a blast and we both feel like we learned so much. One on one was fantastic and Nick made it fun and challenging. We will be doing more date nights with Nick as our 3rd (but very important) wheel.

All of my sessions with Jeromy and Nick have been very professional and focused on improving my shooting skills and decision-making during the many scenarios that are featured in my training. Lessons are targeted to my personal development. My skills are improving with every lesson in their office (training room) and the results are clearly transferring to my performance at the range. In my opinion, Simshot is an important and affordable tool for anyone who wants to improve their pistol shooting skills and enhance their knowledge, understanding, responsibility associated with gun ownership. I have no hesitancy giving these guys a 5-star rating.

I selected SIMSHOT to take the Enhanced Concealed Carry class. I enjoyed the classroom and range training with Jeromy & Nick and the time was definitely well spent. I highly recommend SIMSHOT if you're looking to get your ECC or if you would like to learn to shoot, improve your shooting skills, or are looking to keep your skills tuned.

This was a comprehensive and fantastic class. I learned so much from it. I like how the instructors break down each step and then demonstrate what they're talking about. I enjoyed the variability of what we did for the class and ESPECIALLY liked having the 8 hours broken down to two, 4 hour classes.

I’ve had nothing but great experiences at SIMSHOT. I recently brought my cousin in, and Nick was great working with both of us. He does a really good job of making the training approachable while still challenging you and giving you things to think about. I’ve also used the simulator with people I work with, and that’s where I think SIMSHOT really shines. The scenarios provide great exposure to realistic situations and force you to think through decision-making rather than just shooting at a target. Almost every scenario leads to good discussion afterward about what happened, why decisions were made, and what could have been done differently. It’s a great training tool and a great environment to learn in. Nick and the team do an excellent job. I definitely recommend SIMSHOT for anyone looking for practical, scenario-based training.

Went to SIMSHOT for my enhanced CCW course, the price I paid for the course compared to the amount of practical and useful information they provided us was nothing in comparison. Everything was explained in real world application, and Jeremy and Nick were such helpful instructors willing to talk one on one with all of us. Would recommend for anyone from entry level to experienced shooter.

I highly recommend the Simshot concealed weapons coarse. Jeromy, Nick, and their partners do a great job with the content, application, and hard skills of this class. The information is important and can be heavy but it was approached professionally while in a way that did not make it intimidating. Live fire can be daunting but was handled well and from a teaching perspective to make you a better shooter. I appreciate the knowledge that was shared and the environment they created that was comfortable but focused on safety.
