I could stand a refresher class. I've trained with Givens, Ayoob, Rehn, etc. but that was awhile ago. Anyone in the WNY area who teaches and has credentials like taking instructor classes from folks like the above folks. Traveling is not possible due to family responsibility, so going to SIG, etc - won't work. Folks with just NRA or I was in the military may be fine folks and I don't want to be a snob but instructor training creds count. Competition or the 'dreaded tactical' would work. I would go to Taccon if I could be, again I can't go far.
You may want to reach out to the guys at Escarpment Arms up in Newfane. They have a separate training division called Bull Creek Strategic. They run a variety of courses and I've heard nothing but positive reviews from people that have been there.
I would try Rochester Personal Defense. He has trained with all of them and more . Great team to train with and hosts some of those big names , He has hosted Sig academy, Glock , Dave Spaulding, Rich Nance, Don Rodl , Ayoob...... He has also done training at Academi (blackwater) .
EXSUNY. I have trained under quite a few of the names you mentioned. Givens, Spaulding, Ayoob, Farnam, etc. Multiple Master Instructor ratings from Sig Academy, Blackwater/Academi as well. One of the few fully credentialed under Dave Spaulding of Handgun Combatives to teach his courses. I'll save you the extended drive time because that training is here - with my group. Hit me up and let's see what I have that will give you that tuneup. www.safeinrochester.com.
Check out First Line Defense. I have trained a few times with Pat. Very down to earth guy who is former military and I believe he has Sig Academy Instructor classes under his belt.
