While I do agree there are great instructors here locally, I can't dismiss Front Sight at all. They do a lot of volume of students for a reason. I've been there twice now and love it. Sure, there were a couple things I didn't like about the 4-day defensive handgun class, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I still happily do local training, but it's nice to change it up once in a while. You meet new people, get out of Commirado for a few days and have some fun.
