Who we are

RF Ops, LLC is a family-run business based in Illinois, specializing in defensive handgun and defensive rifle training. We are dedicated to providing our students with the practical skills necessary to safely and effectively protect themselves and their loved ones. At RF Ops, we prioritize individual attention by keeping our class sizes small and focusing on hands-on learning rather than lecture-style teaching.

What we Do

At RF Ops, we offer comprehensive training in defensive handgun and defensive rifle techniques. Our instructors are highly experienced and certified to provide top-notch instruction to students of all skill levels. We believe in using real firearms for training purposes, as we want our students to become comfortable and proficient with handling actual weapons. With a minimum live fire round count of 250 rounds, we ensure that our students gain a firm understanding of how to effectively use a firearm.

Our private range, located in Richton Park, IL, provides a safe and controlled environment for our students to practice and hone their skills. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced shooter seeking advanced training, RF Ops has a course that will suit your needs.

Why you should use us

There are several reasons why you should choose RF Ops for your defensive firearms training. As a small family-run business, we prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and guidance. By focusing on just two primary areas - defensive handgun and defensive rifle - we are able to offer specialized instruction that is tailored to the needs of our students.

Unlike some other training programs that rely heavily on lectures and slideshows, RF Ops places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning. We believe that the best way to learn how to handle a firearm is by actually doing it, which is why over 90% of our class time is spent in practical exercises. Our goal is to equip our students with the skills and confidence they need to effectively defend themselves in real-world situations.

Additionally, our commitment to using real firearms sets us apart from other training programs that may use “toy” or “prop” guns. We believe that the best way to learn how to handle a firearm is by using the real thing, and we ensure that our students have plenty of opportunities to practice with actual weapons.
