TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"My life changed forever"

I wholly endorse Greg Vecchi of VGI Tactics for exceptional training in Firearms and Defensive Tactics. Over many years of carrying a firearm for personal and professional needs, I’ve been trained by many noteworthy, highly regarded trainers, including U.S. and Australian Special Operations experts. Greg brings a new dimension and has helped me take my training to a new level. Greg’s vast professional background and unique hard-charging training tactics have significantly impacted my confidence and abilities.   As director of a large Midwest healthcare hospital and facilities, I’ve contracted with VGI Tactics to provide advanced self-defense tactics for our Security team. Officers raved about Greg’s techniques and training style and returned feeling more confident should these skills ever be needed. Intense and driven are the words that best describe Greg. His mastery of all subjects related to Firearms and Defensive tactics is Top-Tier."
