Better Gun Training With Awesome Customer Service

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

What is your best experience with customer service? Have you ever been to a place that just makes you happy? Where the employees obviously love their jobs, the service is outstanding and you feel better just being a customer? Sadly, there are not many places out there with this kind of service. However, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is one of those places. Front Sight has the best customer service that I have ever seen in my life… no exaggeration.

Every employee at Front Sight, from the Range Masters to the people that answer the phone when you call to the people that work in the Pro Shop, will greet you with a genuine smile on their faces, not because they have to, but because they WANT to. Before attending Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight, I called the school a few times. Each time I called, the person on the phone was so pleasant… more than pleasant. He was definitely educated in the area of gun training because he was able to answer every question that I had quickly and effortlessly. He was skilled at handling frustrations because I was being that annoying, wishy washy customer who did not want to make a decision. I did not know what option was best for me, and he chatted with me, even though I knew he was busy, until we had reached a solution that worked best for me. He stayed with me every step of the way. And when I called back later, the Front Sight guy remembered who I was.

The men and women who give lectures at Front Sight are highly experienced and trained, and it is unmistakable. The words they spoke kept me captivated every second of the day. They made me think… REALLY think… about making decisions about gun use and gun training. By the end of the first hour of the first day of my gun training at Front Sight, I had already felt like I had learned more than I had ever learned before. And they were not jerks about the lectures either, trying to get through them as fast as possible. They answered every single question that was asked, and answered in a way that encouraged and supported the questioning student’s ideas.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza really did a great job when he picked his staff. The hiring process at Front Sight is intense; only the best of the best of the best make it through. While this made me super happy that the employees on the phone, in the Pro Shop and in the lecture hall were incredible, I was ecstatic to see that Ignatius Piazza’s hiring standards were even stricter on the shooting range. The gun training instructors at Front Sight are nearly indescribable. Patient, encouraging, funny and just plain brilliant, these men changed my life. They know everything there is to know about gun training and they want to share it with the world in the most positive way possible. No bad attitudes, no boot camp like feel and no snide remarks. Just pure awesomeness. The employees of Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight are one hundred percent the best.

Gun Training That Works

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the gun training school located in Pahrump, Nevada, will blow your mind. A man named Dr. Ignatius Piazza founded Front Sight so he could spread a positive word about guns and gun training, showing that they can be a wonderful tool of self defense if they are used correctly. When you attend Front Sight’s self defense gun training courses, you will immediately know why it is ranked the number one gun training school in the world. Offering a number of gun training courses such as defensive handgun training, shotgun training, rifle training, automatic weapons training, night gun training, gun training for women, teen gun training and gun training for professionals, Ignatius Piazza’s Front Sight Firearms Training Institute trains thousands upon thousands of students every year.

Front Sight offers gun training courses that fit into your busy schedule. At Front Sight, you will receive world class gun training. In just a few days, you will learn more than you thought possible about using a gun for self defense. At the end of your first self defense gun training course at Front Sight, you will have shooting skills that surpass those of ninety nine percent of the gun owning population, and that includes people that use guns for a living.

During my four day defensive handgun training course at Front Sight, I talked with a bunch of other students about what they were learning from the gun training instructors there. Every single one of them was absolutely perplexed by how much they were learning. One of the men makes his living as a gun training instructor at another school. He said flat out to me, “I am amazed at how much I didn’t know about shooting. I have learned so much already!” (This was on day one of our gun training.) He and his son are now first family members at Front Sight. Come on now! If that doesn’t show the impressiveness of Front Sight, I don’t know what does.

Before attending Front Sight, I had no experience with a handgun. After just four days with Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors, in our last shooting exercise, I shot at the target. I was a bit disappointed when I didn’t immediately see my bullet hole. Holding my gun out in front of me, thinking that I missed my target, I moved my hand slightly. The front sight of my gun had been blocking the bullet hole from my view! I had hit EXACTLY where I had aimed. Pretty cool. I shot again. Same thing. I shot again. Same thing. In four days at Front Sight, with no prior gun training, Ignatius Piazza’s instructors had trained me to hit exactly on target every single time.

If Front Sight can help me, it can help you, as well. I was no good before I attended my first gun training course. Seriously, I was totally “THAT” girl that didn’t know what she was doing. By the end of my gun training at Front Sight, I was a different type of “THAT” girl. It was definitely a positive change!

Front Sight: Fit Years of Training Into Four Days

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Have you gotten self defense gun training? What did you learn in your course? Many people that are asked this question usually say something like, “I learned how to shoot.”

Ah. That’s interesting. Did you learn the correct way to press a trigger? “Don’t you just pull it?” No. Did you learn proper shooting stance? “Don’t you just stand how you’re comfortable?” No. Did you learn how to avoid shooting? “What?” Sigh.

These questions seem confusing to the typical shooter. To people trained at regular gun training schools, gun training is just about shooting. To a student of Ignatius Piazza, the answers to these questions are second nature, along with many, many other odds and ends of using a gun for self defense. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, trains his students to know everything that goes into shooting, not just the actual act of pressing the trigger.

Some of the things you will learn in your self defense gun training courses at Front Sight include proper shooting stance and how to hold your gun safely, what a surprise break is and how it will improve your shooting accuracy, gun safety, shooting speed, how to avoid using a gun in the first place, legal ramifications of using a gun and how to handle them, how to shoot at night or in low to no lighting, how to walk through doors correctly, how to handle hostage situations, how to present your weapon effortlessly, how to shoot exactly on target, how to shoot faster than you would think is possible, how to buy a gun… even how to predict a threatening situation before it arises… and unbelievably, so much more.

The gun training at Front Sight leaves no stone left unturned. By the end of your first self defense gun training course with Ignatius Piazza, you will know everything you need to know about the gun world in order to keep yourself and your loved ones safe from harm. One of the best parts of Front Sight’s gun training is that Ignatius Piazza designed his program to squeeze what would normally take several years to learn into just a few short days of training. I am not joking. Ignatius Piazza has heard time and time again from students, “I have been shooting for X amount of years and I was blown away with what I learned at Front Sight!” He’s even had uniformed men and women tell him that they learned more in four days at Front Sight than they had in over twenty years in the military.

No matter how busy your schedule is, Front Sight can work something out for you. Ignatius Piazza offers short gun training courses so you can learn crucial things like how to offer family protection and practice self defense without getting in the way of your life. You will so much from Front Sight. If you could fit twenty years of gun training into four fast paced days, wouldn’t you want to do it?

Front Sight Gun Training: Can Safety Be Fun?

Monday, March 21st, 2011

I was asked where I got my gun training. Apparently, the girl first asked one of my guy friends about gun training. Knowing how well I shoot (all humility aside, of course) he directed her to me. I told her I got my gun training from Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. When she asked me where Front Sight was located, I told her it is about an hour away from Las Vegas in Pahrump, Nevada. She seemed a bit confused as to why I would go that far to get gun training when there are plenty of places to shoot and get trained here in California. Let me tell you, it is so easy to explain why… and the girl started her own further research on attending Front Sight.

So, why drive several hours or actually get on a plane to go get gun training? Front Sight is, literally, unbeatable. The gun training provided at this firearms training school is beyond compare. Within minutes of your first self defense gun training course, you will understand what I mean. The gun training instructors at Front Sight took me from zero to thinking, “Oh my gosh… did I just shoot THAT PERFECTLY?!” in four short days. My partner in class was an experienced shooter. He, too, was amazed at his improvement. Founder and Director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, created Front Sight to really make an impact on people’s lives and shooting abilities.

I have been to shooting ranges other than Front Sight. And when I go, I think, “Really?” I look around and see how obvious it is to me that people are holding their guns incorrectly, mashing their triggers, standing in a way that won’t keep them stable and scarily, putting other people at risk. The Front Sight gun training instructors and range masters will never let people get away with incorrect form or not practicing perfect gun safety. Their aim is to make students into perfect shooters, not just decent ones. To be a perfect shooter, you’ve got to learn everything perfectly. Sounds intimidating, but Ignatius Piazza and his gun training instructors somehow make it possible. During my gun training course, everything was, all though challenging, extremely doable.

And you know, Front Sight was FUN. After class every night, my partner and I gabbed constantly for hours about what we learned and different things we did, heard and saw at Front Sight. We were so impressed with the level of training we received and extremely excited to wake up every morning to get on the range. The gun training instructors were strict on gun safety and technique, but they did it in a way that was friendly and encouraging, so we didn’t feel like we had boot camp drill sergeants for instructors. The attitudes of the gun training instructors really make a difference in how much students learn, because who learns well in an environment that they don’t enjoy? Not only will you learn an intense amount of information and stay safe, there is no question about the fact that you will enjoy Front Sight.

Front Sight: Girls Can Kick Butt, Too!

Friday, March 18th, 2011

When you have made the decision to learn how to use a gun for self defense, why would you get your gun training from anywhere other than the best? Front Sight Firearms Training Institute offers the world’s best gun training that money can buy. This fantastic gun training school is miles and miles ahead of the game when it comes to teaching gun safety, shooting speed and shooting accuracy. Just a few days with the professional gun training instructors at Front Sight will leave you handling a gun better than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population.

Founder, Director and Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, designed Front Sight Firearms Training Institute to be the best, and the best is what it is. Ranked the number one place in the world to receive gun training of any kind, Front Sight teaches thousands and thousands of students every year how to handle a gun safely and effectively. Students of Ignatius Piazza receive thorough and precise gun training that teaches them how to shoot perfectly.

I attended a Four Day Defensive Handgun Course from Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors at Front Sight. My background included shooting a gun once before in my life, and it was not a handgun. Before attending Front Sight, I did extensive research on the school and Ignatius Piazza. After deciding that Front Sight was definitely the best place in the world to receive gun training, I attended my first course with a friend.

Four days of intense training left me surprised. Before, I had known that Front Sight was the best. I had known that the gun training instructors were amazing. I had known the shooting experience that Ignatius Piazza had. I had read and heard the testimonials from other Front Sight students. I had seen news stories about Front Sight. I was set on the fact that Front Sight was, by far, the greatest gun training school in the world. And still, when I actually attended Front Sight, I was shocked. The amount of attention that I received was mind boggling. The Front Sight instructors changed me completely.

So, like I said, I attended one four day self defense gun training course with no prior handgun experience. Can you imagine how good I felt when my friend (who has been shooting over fifteen years) admitted I’m a better shooter than him? Another fact that contributes to how good I felt: my friend is a guy. I’m a girl. I am a better shooter than a man with over fifteen years of shooting experience because of ONE GUN TRAINING COURSE AT FRONT SIGHT.

Ignatius Piazza will train you how to shoot a gun safely and perfectly no matter how old or young you are, no matter if you are male or female, no matter what type of background you come from, no matter how strong or feeble you are and no matter how many years of gun training you have under your belt. After your first self defense gun training course at Front Sight, you will see the results. You will see that you, too, are a better shooter than every single one of your friends.

Front Sight: Yeah, They Teach That

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

It is pitch black in your house. You and your wife are sleeping. The kids are at some sleepover. The doors are locked. You wake up suddenly and something just feels off. You realize your wife isn’t by your side. And then you hear it. Whispers echo throughout your home. But they are not familiar whispers… they are those of two… or three… people who want to take your stuff. Where is your wife? Is she safe? Do they have her? Where the hell is she?? Your heart pounding, you grab your gun and are ready to charge downstairs and show those guys who’s boss.

Now, you have got to approach this situation delicately. Do you want the intruders to know you are there? You have got to find them and find your wife quickly but with caution. Did you know that there is a way to walk through a door, down a hallway and around your house that can keep you safe, and a way to do these things that will put you at risk? Did you know that there is a way to search a room with a flashlight that will keep you safe, as opposed to completely giving away your location, making you a prime target for the bad guys? Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute will teach you these things. In addition to self defense gun training, as a student of Front Sight, you will learn how to clear rooms and handle home invasion scenarios. You will receive night gun training, so you can learn how to shoot accurately in little to no lighting. You will learn everything you need to know about gun training to keep you and your family safe.

Your body goes numb when you realize they have her. You can see the silhouette of a man, holding her tightly. He is using her as a shield. What do you do now?! Think back to your gun training from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight. Yep, you also learned hostage situations. But there is more than one bad guy. Wait… you have also learned how to handle multiple adversaries. As if nothing could go right tonight, you raise your gun to shoot and you hear a click. It is a good thing that you also learned how to handle gun malfunctions quickly and effortlessly from the Front Sight gun training instructors, or else you and your wife may be in a bit of trouble.

We know that keeping calm in a situation like this is nearly impossible, but students of Ignatius Piazza have all been extremely well trained. Being completely prepared will help ease the stress level, making success a higher probability. The gun training instructors at Front Sight use real life scenarios to train students for real life, not just how to hit a stationary target at the range.

Now, run through this scenario in your mind again and let me ask you this: are you Front Sight trained?

How to Shoot Under Pressure: Gun Training at Front Sight

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

Almost fifteen years ago, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute opened its doors. Since its opening, it has at least doubled in size every single year, and continues on the path to do it again. Think about how much of a huge growth that is… some simple math will tell you that the numbers are off the charts. Front Sight started in 1996 with just a few students and one handgun training course. So why the rapid growth?

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute proves itself time and time again to be the best place in the world to receive gun training of any kind. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, opened Front Sight to spread a positive image of gun ownership throughout the world, training people how to use guns for self defense above all else. Students of Front Sight learn gun safety first and foremost, while having tons of fun on the shooting range. In addition to self defense gun training, Ignatius Piazza has made it possible for students to receive competitive gun training and combat gun training, so whatever you would like to prepare for, Front Sight has got you covered.

Ignatius Piazza is a supporter of the Second Amendment, just like many of us. He has owned guns, has been trained for years with guns and has always been a pretty good shot. However, in 1988, he and his family experienced a drive by shooting and he was hit with a fact that was hard to take. Although he had had extensive gun training and was a very good shooter, he lacked the skills to use a gun to protect himself and his family in a time of desperation. He vowed that this would change and started seeking out gun training from a number of experts.

Thousands upon thousands of hours into his gun training, Ignatius Piazza decided that he was going to become a Four Weapons Combat Master and he was going to open his own gun training school, so he could share with the world everything he had learned over the years. He nit picked his gun training with a fine toothed comb, picking out the sub par stuff and keeping only the best of the best ideas from each gun training school he attended. In the end, he ended up developing the world’s most perfect gun training program and founded Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.

Today, at Front Sight, students learn more than just how to safely use a gun. They learn how to use a gun under severe pressure, so that in real life, when the Reaper tries to call, they will be prepared to fight back. After attending Front Sight’s gun training courses, students are well prepared to handle any life threatening situation that requires shooting accuracy and speed. Ignatius Piazza trains students thoroughly, so they do not miss out on anything, and helps get them into the mindset that can and will save lives. No other gun training school does it like Front Sight; that’s for sure!

Front Sight: How to Use a Gun… And How Not To

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

There are so many people out there who are apprehensive about gun training. They do not want to own a gun, think that guns should be illegal and/or hate the idea of them in general. However, no matter how anti gun you may be, the fact remains that a gun can be a superior tool of self defense in a number of situations. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute can give you the gun training that you need to stay safe, even if you totally despise weapons.

I hate the idea of robbing a bank. But as much as I hate it and even though robbing a bank is illegal, bank robberies still happen. It is a gross thing to rape someone and I am thoroughly against it. That, too, is illegal. Yet, rapes still occur. Think of all the things that are currently illegal that people still do. Kidnapping, doing drugs, turning on red while ignoring the “No Turn On Red” sign… they all break the law, but we see them happen every day. If guns were illegal, do we really think that bad guys would stop using them? No… the innocent, law abiding citizens would get rid of their guns, leaving them more vulnerable and prone to attack because the bad guys would still have guns. What we need to do is secure ourselves good gun training, so we know how to safely use a gun, instead of just shying away from them in general.

You may not be comfortable with using a gun. But did you know that there is gun training available at Front Sight that will teach you how to not use a gun? This means two things. One, the gun training instructors at Front Sight will teach you the correct way to use a gun, and the wrong way to use it, so there is no question in your mind how to safely handle a gun. They show you what not to do, as well as exactly what to do, so your gun handling techniques can develop into flawless perfection.

The second thing it means is that the gun training instructors at Front Sight actually train you in how to NOT use a gun… meaning how to get out of using a gun and how to avoid using a gun. Founder and director of Front Sight, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, knows that guns offer an incredible sense of self defense, but they are not the only way out of a tricky situation. The gun training courses at Front Sight challenge your mind into deciding when is the right time for you to warn your attacker that you have a gun and will use it, and when is the right time to actually shoot, verses when is the right time to exit the situation in another manner, without presenting your weapon. Ignatius Piazza wants you to know that just because you HAVE a gun, doesn’t mean you have to USE it. It is only there for a last resort, to use in a situation that you cannot escape otherwise. Front Sight will train you heavily on this, because gun safety is their number one priority.

Gun Training For Everyone

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is, by far, the best place in the world to receive gun training of any kind. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, planned Front Sight’s gun training program to be diverse, so no matter where you currently stand in regards to your gun training, Front Sight has a course especially for you. Usually, people fit into one of the following categories. Where do you stand?

I am a supporter of the Second Amendment, have trained with guns for years and feel confident in my shooting. I can offer family protection and self defense no matter what the circumstance.

I am pro gun but I have limited to no gun training under my belt. I would like to learn but have not gotten around to seeking out gun training for one reason or another.

I think that people should be able to own guns, but I do not want to, nor do I want to learn how to use one.

I am afraid of handling a gun.

I am anti gun and think that no one should be able to own one.

Whichever statement with which you most closely identify, Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight can be a part of your life. First, to the people who have already had extensive gun training, the gun training at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute can further improve your shooting techniques to make you even better and more competent. People who have had gun training with the military for over twenty years have attended one of Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses and have improved their shooting abilities. Law enforcement officers and gun training instructors from other schools come to Front Sight to hone their skills and perfect their techniques. No matter how good you are now, Front Sight can make you better. Guaranteed.

If you have little to no gun training, Front Sight is a great place to start. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors will teach you the correct way to safely handle a gun, so you develop a perfect technique from the very beginning. You will learn everything you need to know about guns, from gun safety to accurate and fast shooting. With gun training from Front Sight, you will be ready for anything!

If you are afraid of guns, hate guns or do not want to own one, Ignatius Piazza completely understands that. However, just because you do not want to handle one, doesn’t mean your adversary doesn’t want to. Learning how to use a gun is crucial for self defense, because the bad guys are probably going to have one, whether they are legal or not. Not being competent in gun handling would really be a bummer if someone came after you with a gun. However, with the proper gun training, you will be able to disarm your attacker and use his or her gun as a self defense tool, whether or not you own one yourself. Front Sight’s gun training instructors can teach you self defense techniques that will keep you safe in every situation.

Front Sight has a gun training course for you, no matter who you are or where you stand. Check out Front Sight’s website today and find where you can fit in!

Gun Training Through a Text Message

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

You have heard me say it time and time again. Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is the best place in the world to receive any type of gun training, whether you want shotgun training, rifle training, handgun training or automatic weapons training. I am a student of Front Sight, so I speak from first hand experience when I say there is no place like Front Sight. Before attending Front Sight, I did extensive research on gun training and on Ignatius Piazza’s school… and I was confident that this was the place for me. I believed it was the best, knew I would get the greatest gun training money could buy and was so excited to experience it for real.

My expectations were absolutely nothing compared to the gun training I received from Front Sight and Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors. By the end of my first four day defensive handgun training course, I felt amazing. I started out shaky, with my bullets hitting the targets all over the place. I finished up with my shots hitting exactly where I wanted them to. I started out apprehensive, feeling uncomfortable with a gun on my hip or in my hand. I finished up with a presentation so fast that it surprised myself (and my classmates) every time I did it. I started out my gun training not knowing much about what bullet placement meant. I finished my handgun training course at Front Sight with knowledge that I have been able to pass on to friends.

My friend went shooting with his brother at a shooting range. I was supposed to go with them, but couldn’t that day. I was sad because I had been excited to school them on the range with the techniques I had learned at Front Sight. I got random text message updates from my friend and he mentioned he wasn’t shooting all that well. So, naturally, I asked him to send me a picture. I received a picture message of his target a few minutes later and, based on what I saw, immediately knew his issue. I asked if he wanted my input. His response was doubtful. “You mean you’re going to give me advice based on a picture of my spread?” I imagined the smirk on his face but was confident enough in my gun training to blow it off.

“Yeah, actually.” He agreed and I immediately went on to tell him about mashing the trigger, how I knew that’s what he was doing, why people do it and how to fix it. Several minutes later I got another picture and a surprised response. His shots had already improved about fifty to sixty percent. He was impressed. The quality of Front Sight’s gun training had, yet again, been enforced. I have to admit, it is a pretty awesome feeling when you can give a gun training lesson over text message… and have it work. Needless to say, my friend and his brother are now both first family members at Front Sight.
