One on One Firearms has served Central and Northern California since its 2010 launch by founder Joe Truesdale, who retired from corporate facility management in late 2009 to combine his decades of Army and corporate leadership experience with his competitive shooting passion. Based in Sacramento at 10398 Rockingham Dr #18, the company maintains NRA and California DOJ certified instructor credentials across its partnership team, which includes Ryan Harrigan and Brandon Cammara. Joe's frustration with a poorly-conducted CCW class in 2009—taught by what he describes as a "blowhard in camo" who rushed combined 8-hour and 16-hour sessions into six hours—drove him to create a student-focused alternative. After earning NRA certifications and working at a Nevada firearms academy to gain instructor experience, Joe built One on One Firearms around capped class sizes and personalized attention, bringing on business partners Sean Young in 2014, Fred Mowrey in 2016, and Ryan Harrigan in 2018. The company offers California CCW initial-issue and renewal classes approved for Sacramento, Yolo (including Davis, West Sacramento, Woodland), El Dorado, Nevada, Amador (including Ione, Sutter Creek, Jackson), Lassen, and Napa counties—though not currently approved for Placer or San Joaquin. Their curriculum emphasizes modern techniques over "old dogma," with instructors who train regularly with top competitive shooters and continuously update their teaching methods. The team delivers handgun, carbine/rifle, and shotgun training alongside Utah multi-state CCW courses and competition-focused IDPA classes. Students can book group sessions or private "golf pro" style lessons through their direct online booking system. The company also serves cities including Sacramento and maintains partnerships that allow flexible range access across Northern California, with instructors reachable at 916-494-9663 or info@oneononefirearms.com.
