WELCOME TO MDHT

It has become increasingly evident that we live in a more dangerous society. Law enforcement agencies are less proactive and have decreased services to the general public. Citizens are forced to become more self-reliant and provide their own safety and security. Protecting oneself and family can be a daunting challenge without assistance. Firearms usage, safety, and proficiency are essential elements in securing one’s home and family. Massaro Defensive Handgun Training is the solution to help people become safe, proficient and confident in the use of firearms.


MDHT provides the highest quality private firearms instruction available. All training is customized to the student’s needs and abilities. Our training is conducted in a safe, low stress learning environment. MDHT will conduct training at your home or property. MDHT also has several private training sites throughout Northern and Central Virginia.

TESTIMONIALS

We hired Pete to come to our place over several visits and help us learn how to use handguns.  He helped my wife in selecting a handgun for her.  He stressed safety and made the process fun.  By the end of our sessions, we felt way more confident in protecting ourselves.  We plan to use him for “refresher series”.
