Brian Toal

Brian’s experience with firearms evolved during his distinguished career in law enforcement, retiring after 31 years at the rank of captain from a large municipal police department in NJ. During his tenure, Brian was his department’s training coordinator, supervising firearms instructor, and armorer, as well as a PTC certified Rangemaster. He was instrumental in the formation of the department’s High Risk Entry Team where he served as the trainer, team leader and ultimately the team commander.

Brian developed his expertise through hundreds of tactical operations as well as thousands of hours teaching firearms skills and tactics within his department, the police academy, or one of the surrounding agencies. Brian has pursued advanced firearms and tactical training across the country, including armorers’ courses for Glock, H&K, Colt, Sig Sauer, Remington, and many others. Outside of work, Brian has pursued his passion by participating in various competitive shooting events, all over the northeastern United States. Along with his wife and children, Brian enjoys many outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, hunting, and fishing. Teaching and coaching young and new shooters, seasoned tactical operators, as well as competitive shooters is a passion Brian continues to cultivate.
