Dustin Ciaccio was my very first FS 4DDHG range master. Great guy!
I heard he got fired for something along the lines of calling out the head boss in front of everyone. (employees)

I did get some good training there. I don't understand the need for people that have never been there to denigrate.

There's another variable that hasn't been mentioned. When someone says they had experience with someone that had trained there, maybe that person wasn't a good student. When I was there, I did have people in my class that needed more practice and mental discipline. That's not the fault of the teacher. Students vary. Some instructors will also repeat negatives regarding competitors, again maybe without thinking about all the variables. If I see a guy shoot that came out of a big name class that doesn't do well, does that mean the instructor isn't very good? It's also unprofessional to put down the competition without actual experience, first hand.

Many people got their first training at Front Sight. They got a chance to learn safe gun handling and develop some skill. I got to see some beginners get a lot better by the 4th day. Some that focused and worked on learning graduated. I had some experience and was able to DG my first time on the 4 DDHG.

No emails now for me since the 13th. I keep hoping I'll hear some good news.

Regarding training. I think FS handgun training is decent for getting new people introduced to handguns. For experienced people there are better programs out there (e.g. "Handgun Mastery" course at TPC).

My last experience at FS was earlier in the year when they announced their initial fee changes. I was there for the 4 day shotgun course. I got a lot out of it and they guided me from having never fired a semi-automatic shotgun (Beretta 1301 Tactical) to being the only DG in the course (-6 down). So, I was very happy with the instruction. Each day I solved a different problem with the shotgun handling by asking the instructors and being guided to a solution. Especially, being left handed, I had to come up with manipulations, with their help, that worked within time constraints.

So, I wouldn't knock the training, you get what you put into it.

This is a duplicate thread. The original thread had many people responding.

But then, OP, is fixated on OC that options at Burro, Piru, Route 66 and Angeles are seemingly out of his radar

I shared with KRLY- "I have enjoyed Artemis in Lake Forest. They do video simulation and live fire stuff. Sim is super neat and a different type of training.

That reminded me when Artemis facilitated training out at FS. So here is a top notch, class act group who believes that there is always something to learn, and different places to learn it. Never heard a bad word from anyone there about FS.

That fat slob would defend his family better if he simply stood in front them.

As has been posted here to the point of nausea, Dr. Piazza will NOT change his spots. Those who think he will deserve Front Sight.

[VolvoWrench]

He's a brand new member but, seems to know all about it and other schools. I wish they didn't make these people obviously read a script.

[NorthBay Shooter]

he did a chamber check and muzzled his face. cannon fodder.

[Citizen_B]

Didn't look like his muzzled his face, but he did have his finger on trigger.

[T3Pros]

Question for Front Sight patrons. After he racks his slide he press checks, then drops the magazine and looks at it. What is FS reasoning for dropping the mag? Seems like you've verified that the magazine is seated and a round was chambered, but then dropping the mag accomplishes what?

[Citizen_B]

There is no value other than checking mag round count, that should have been done prior to loading the mag. Ejecting the mag and checking it isn't part of the normally taught loading procedure.

Edit: At least it's not taught in the later classes. It's been awhile since I took the 2 or 4-day HG class.

They do teach it in the 4DDH class.
