Took the 4 Day Defensive Pistol Course, with my wife, on April 24-28, 2015........here is my take and I understood fully what I was getting into.........First, FrontSight is the Henry Ford of firearms training........you can have your Ford Model A in any color you want, as long as you want it in black!!!

So this trip was more for my wife to be in a safe training environment, and learn the basics.........and in that respect, Front Sight was great........That morning they checked in 998 shooters for over 20 ranges......rifle, pistol, shotgun, and subgun. Weapons and ammo inspection, to the welcome class, sign the legal stuff and out to the range........Instructors were scripted, but well prepared.......Safety was like an Army Range in basic training, but that's OK........

Weather was OK for us, just plan your trip according to weather.com.......... Places to stay in Pahrump are pretty average.....Saddle West Casino, Best Western, and the Winery.......not good choices but with 10 hours a day on the range, we didn't need 5 star accommodation's.....

A buddy had class certificates and gave them too us, but you can buy them on EBAY pretty cheap....$50 bucks. Cost of lodging food and travel........... Next trip I would look at staying in Las Vegas and just making a longer drive over in the morning.........

For skills building of accomplished pistol shooters, I would probably take local schools, especially if some of the big names came to town for a 2-4 day weekend class.......But for a beginner, Front Sight filled the bill and part of our trip was a great group of people that travelled with us and we all took the class together..........

PM with any questions..........
