“I recently completed the New Mexico concealed carry course through Omni Arms / Desert Thunder Academy, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the overall experience. The program is extremely well-structured, starting with a convenient online portion that I was able to take entirely on my own schedule. The material was engaging and easy to follow, and it held my attention enough that I completed all the modules and tests in a single day. Being able to work at my own pace, whether at home or at work, made the process both flexible and enjoyable.
The in-person portion at the shooting range was equally impressive. The instructors provided both .45 caliber semi-auto pistols and .45 caliber revolvers at no extra charge, which allowed me to qualify with the highest caliber option in both firearm types. Thanks to this, I’m now qualified to carry either style of handgun—.45 caliber and any caliber below it—which was a huge bonus.
Jake Melidones, the head instructor, is exceptionally knowledgeable. He was extremely well-informed and able to answer every question thrown his way with confidence and clarity. Jake and his staff maintained firm safety standards and clear expectations throughout the course, yet they balanced that professionalism with patience, approachability, and a sense of fun. They even incorporated a friendly target competition toward the end of the day, which added a great mix of challenge, entertainment, and practical learning.
The course was affordable, well-run, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a concealed carry class in New Mexico. I haven’t had the chance to shop at Omni Arms yet, but I definitely plan to—because based on how they treat their students, it’s clear they value their customers and hold themselves to a high level of respect and professionalism.”
“Stopped in for a few magazines. They had everything I needed at reasonable prices. The staff and mans best friend at BMC are always welcoming and great to deal with!”
“Troy is an incredibly nice guy and an absolute legend! He rebuilt my custom AR-15 into a perfectly tuned machine. The store has an impressive variety of firearms, from extremely affordable options all the way up to true collector’s pieces. And don’t even get me started on their massive knife selection—it's outstanding. This is the only place I’ll go for all of my gun and knife needs. Highly recommend!”
“Had Charlie build me custom rifle started out as a Remington 700 LA had it re barreled and threaded, blue printed I took in my parts he put it together Charlie is very precise with his work, after picking it up took me 7 months to finally shoot it well it is a shooter .25 moa all day long at 100yds stretched it out to a 1000yds no problem Charlie takes awhile building a rifle but he does it right if your patient he will build you a very nice rifle”
“Good customer service they're straight to the point really help out if needed they usually have most of the things you really need, sights, muzzles, braces, ect I definitely recommend going to check it out”
“Just took a class with Gary Antal at calibers.
Great instructor and was very please with all the knowledge he passed throughout his period of instruction.”
“I went there spoke to Charlie 2 different times he mounted a light on my rifle he's the best gunsmith in new mexico very knowledgeable and fair my opinion wish he'd be there forever hard to find a good person like him his wife and molly”
“Love the customer service and friendliness of the staff. Also, if you need some holster work/fixing then Johnny is your guy! I needed to reform a kydex holster since I installed the Ramjet compensator on my Sig P365 and now it fits like it was made for, because it was, by Johnny!!”
“Stopped in to put new sights on a 1911, the guy did it for me on the spot and charged $10 less than what another shop charged me. New sights shoot straight as an arrow”
