Hi, I'm Melissa
In 2015, I began this little passion project called She's a Pistol.
At that time, I worked as a federal law enforcement officer where I also served as the training coordinator. As fate would have it, my mom became interested in owning a handgun.... so we went shooting. Naturally, I shared with her what I knew from my own training & experience. And just like that... She's a Pistol was born.
She’s A Pistol is built on my mission to educate, strengthen, & empower women (and their families) through safe, effective, & confidence-building firearm instruction in a supportive & fun environment. We have steadily grown mainly through word of mouth coupled with the constant support & complimentary recommendations of the clients we serve, whom we affectionately refer to as “pistols.”
