Josh Brady

Expert Firearms Instructor and Ammunition Specialist

Professional Background and Role

With a rich background as a former home-based Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) in Mammoth Lakes, California, Josh has honed his skills in stocking, selling, and training with a variety of pistols, including the limited supply of DOJ-certified platforms available in California. Now, at Top Shot Indoor Range and Guns, he enjoys the freedom to use and sell an unregulated selection of brands, taking advantage of the opportunity to utilize these items directly on-site.

A notable recent project that Josh is proud of is teaching a 9-year-old how to run an Uzi, showcasing his passion for educating the next generation in safe and effective firearm use.

Skills and Expertise

Bringing in-depth knowledge of reloading ammunition and selling such items, Josh adds a valuable layer of expertise to the team. To stay updated with industry trends and developments, he regularly engages with content on YouTube and Rumble, ensuring a constant flow of the latest information and techniques.

For those interested in entering this field, Josh’s advice is simple yet profound: be kind and approachable. This approach not only fosters a positive learning environment but also builds trust with clients.

Personal Insights and Interests

Outside of work, Josh has a diverse range of interests, including yoga, weight training, boxing, and reloading ammo. Additionally, he serves as a personal trainer at Stafford, adding another dimension to his skill set.

A fun fact that might surprise people is his aspiration to switch jobs with the President for a day, believing that if Joe Biden can handle the role, he surely could as well.

Customer Service Philosophy

In his role, Josh believes that most people are unaware of what can be accomplished until it happens. Helping clients achieve success with firearms through safe, and repeated learned movements is where he finds satisfaction. A memorable experience was teaching a client, who was cross-dominant in his left eye, to shoot left-handed while being right-handed, significantly improving his skills.

For Josh, the key to building strong relationships with customers is honesty and demonstrating a skill level they can aspire to comfortably.

Vision and Goals

Looking ahead, Josh sees the firearms industry needing more USA-made ammunition in the next five years. He contributes to the company’s goals and vision by filling in where needed and balancing life in Texas, and we are grateful he joined us as a team member.

In the coming year, Josh aims to develop a new primer, acquire machining for brass primers, and possibly establish a commercial site for manufacturing primers. These goals highlight his commitment to advancing the industry and contributing to the company’s growth.

In summary, Josh’s extensive background, dedication to education, and customer service philosophy make him a valuable asset to Top Shot Indoor Range and Guns.
