Has anyone done any dealings with Final Option, their home base is in St. Cloud at Del-Tone Gun Range. I ran across their website from another website I frequent. www. finaloption.org Their classes look very interesting and fairly reasonable. |

We the DPMS sales staff recently went thru the Advanced Urban Rifle Operators Course taught by Tony from Final Option. At the end of the course we all said one word about it, WOW! Tony from Final Option was very professional Instructor. He has the experience and extensive knowledge in tactical firearms training. Everyone from our sales staff learned a thing or two that day. Even the guys with military and law enforcement training!  The great thing about the course is that it is based on "real world" situations. The course was outstanding and well worth every penny! We cannot say enough good things about Final Option.Check it out. Final Option Inc. P.O. Box 27 Cedar, MN 55011-0027 Phone/Fax: 763-413-2395 Email: [email protected] |

| I took a 2 day pistol class from them a couple years ago. Tony and Tim are Minneapolis SWAT officers and are very knowledgeable. They have some great steel equipment and it was a good time. I was a new carry permit holder at the time and it did a lot to help me understand exactly what I was getting in to. Everyone in the class I talked to was very happy with the training. |

I am hesitant to post their comments here. As I have not taken a class from Final Option personally, I can neither endorse them nor do I wish to discourage anyone here from seeking their instruction. I would however be happy to share their comments with you, or anyone interested in the information, in the form of IM’s. As a disclaimer of sorts I will add that the favorable opinions I mentioned have all come from people affiliated with DPMS (who hosts Final Option classes), and all the negative response has come from people involved with LE or Security professions, or have previously taken classes with well respected, big name instructors (Pat Rogers, James Yeager, Greg Sullivan, Louis Awerbuck, etc.). Therefore they may have different expectations of the training Final Option provides than the average private citizen would. |
Please IM me with the comments and names from those former students of Final Option and how I can get in contact with them since I am interested in taking classes with Final Option. |

Hello everone, got an email and they told me Final Option came up on this board. Although I do not spend time on forums, thought I might as will introduce myself and Final Option Inc. My name is Tony Caspers and I am the president of Final Option Inc. Final Option is a Military/government based training company. We do offer some very limited unrestricted courses. Our unrestricted course instructors are full time/part SWAT officers. Our lead instructors have no less than 10 years SWAT experience with between 900 and 1500 tactical deployments/high risk warrants. (this is about 8x more than most SWAT officers see in their career) We are also proud to say we currently have 4 instructors over in Iraq, representing the US! Our instructors teach from “real world” experiences, not by how many schools/instructors they can rattle off or certificates on the wall. Although we are a nation wide mobile company, are home base range is DPMS/Del-tone in St. Cloud. DPMS has been outstanding in their support and support within the training/shooting industry. We are happy to have them for our base range. If anybody has questions about our company or about our instructor staff please call us directly and we will be happy to chat about what ever you heard or think. We take pride in having an open door for all our students. We have posted our most current course review from Concealed Carry Magazine on our website., www.finaloption.org reviewing one of our advanced handgun courses. Keep you head downa and your mags full Thanks for you time gentleman, Tony |
