Makhaira Group: A Trusted Partner in Public Safety and Firearms Training

Headquartered in Northern Colorado, Makhaira Group (pronounced ma-kai-ra) stands as a premier public safety education and firearms training organization serving Colorado and the greater Rocky Mountain region. The company is widely respected for delivering comprehensive, real-world instruction that equips individuals, law enforcement, and organizations with the skills necessary to respond effectively in high-stress situations.

The name Makhaira is derived from the Greek word for a short, curved sword historically used in close-quarters combat—symbolizing the group's focus on practical, decisive defense strategies. Staying true to that legacy, Makhaira Group offers a full spectrum of self-defense training, including firearms safety, concealed handgun permit (CHP) courses, and tactical instruction in pistol, rifle, and shotgun handling.

What sets Makhaira Group apart is its deep foundation in current operational experience. Its cadre of instructors is made up of military veterans, law enforcement professionals, and industry experts who bring a depth of knowledge that goes far beyond theory.
