What do you learn at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute
You learn more than just how to shoot a gun; that is for sure.
The things taught at Front Sight far surpass the curriculum at other gun training schools. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of Front Sight, wanted to make sure that at Front Sight, you will get the best and most complete gun training you can find. Unlike other gun training schools, you will walk away from Front Sight a different person: more confident, more aware and a better shooter than you ever thought you could become, even with years and years of practice… and you will achieve this all in a few short days. It may sound too good to be true, but before your first day of gun training at Front Sight has completed, you will understand.
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute first and foremost concentrates on gun safety. Front Sight is focused on keeping you and your loved ones safe, so Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses are incredibly safe. The gun training instructors will teach you how to handle a gun properly and how to increase your safety while holding it. During my first self defense gun training course, I felt safe one hundred percent of the time. I went to a shooting range after attending Front Sight and immediately noticed that barely anyone knew the first thing about gun safety. I was on edge for most of the time spent there, due to how these people were carrying themselves and carrying their weapons. You will be glad to know that the practices of Front Sight’s staff will make you feel comfortable, and teach you how to be safe, during and after your gun training.
During a typical day of gun training at Front Sight, you will experience many things, including hands on tactical gun training, watching shooting demonstrations and listening to gun training lectures. Wait, lectures? Before you argue and say that lectures are boring, you should know that Ignatius Piazza’s staff members will give lectures that will get you thinking and prepare your mind for what you are about to learn. You will gain a new perspective on gun training, the use of guns for self defense and the life that comes along with it. You will learn not only riveting things about guns and gun training, but you will also learn how to AVOID using a gun in the first place. Front Sight emphasizes the fact that you only want to use a gun if it is your last and only option. I found it quite enjoyable and refreshing to learn different self defense techniques that I could use before presenting my weapon. I also found it interesting to learn about the combat mindset, the emotional side effects of using a gun and how to deal with the legal aspects of having to shoot a gun.
Many people hear that Front Sight includes lectures and they immediately shy away from the gun training course. But let me tell you, I think that the lectures may have been my favorite part of my gun training at Front Sight. I was so impressed and eager to keep learning, because Ignatius Piazza expanded my idea of gun training and made me realize that gun training is more than just learning how to shoot a gun. Front Sight really is the most complete gun training I have found.

Where are you in your gun training quest? Have you been gun training and shooting for years? Or are you just starting out? Where ever you currently are, there is always room to perfect, hone and learn new skills to be the best and most efficient shooter possible. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the gun training school in Pahrump, Nevada, is the perfect place to go to improve your shooting technique or learn how to shoot a gun safely and effectively from the get go. From beginning gun training to advanced gun training to even competitive gun training, Front Sight offers it all. Owned and operated by Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Front Sight is ranked the number one place in the world to receive gun training of any kind.
If you have never had any gun training experience, you will want to learn the right way the first time, rather than learning bad habits or incorrect techniques that you will have to go back and change later. Ignatius Piazza can teach you just that. What better way to learn how to shoot a gun properly than from a Four Weapons Combat Master? There are only a few people in the world that hold that record, so you know, from day one, you are getting your gun training from one of the top shooters in the entire world. That is pretty amazing, I would say. At Front Sight, beginning shooters learn things like how to hold a gun safely, how to check a gun for safety, how to load and unload at lightning speed, how to present the weapon even faster, the balance between speed and accuracy, how to hit the bullseye of the target every time, how to handle multiple attackers, how to get out of using a gun in the first place and, if you can believe it, so much more. Beginning shooters leave Front Sight with techniques that will have people thinking that they have been shooting for years. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute can give even first time shooters the knowledge and experience needed to shoot better than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population.
Intermediate to advanced shooters learn how to use their shooting experience to their advantage, while tweaking and perfecting some of their techniques. Many advanced shooters leave Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight exclaiming that they did not know what they did not know. That is a big thing around Front Sight. Ignatius Piazza teaches little known tips, tricks and techniques that can make huge changes in your shooting ability, even if you have been shooting for decades. In fact, many gun training instructors from other schools go to Ignatius Piazza to help them learn all of the things that make such a big difference. Intermediate and advanced shooters leave Front Sight refreshed, re-educated and better than ever before.
No matter where you currently stand in your gun training experience, Ignatius Piazza can help you become the best shooter you can be.

Have you ever tried to find good gun training? Like, really, really good gun training? If you tried prior to 1996 I bet you ran into some issues. Back then, finding really awesome gun training required talent. Lucky for us, now we can easily find great gun training and great gun training deals with Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. At Front Sight, you will find not only good gun training… you will find the best gun training in the world.
Founder and Director, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, ran into those issues when he was trying to find his own gun training back in the late eighties and early nineties. He really wanted to learn how to use a gun for self defense and family protection, but he kept running into walls and dead ends. Some gun training schools seemed promising, but then it turned out they were seriously lacking in some areas. Each gun training school that Ignatius Piazza came across had strengths and weaknesses. But where was the gun training school with only strengths?
The frustration that Ignatius Piazza experienced when he was on what should have been a simple search for basic self defense gun training became even greater on his quest to become a Four Weapons Combat Master… and he decided that no one should ever have to go through this again. Thus, he made up his mind to create the gun training school with no weaknesses. He worked tirelessly and finally, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute opened its doors in April of 1996. It has done so much for the gun training world ever since.
What are the strengths that you look for in your gun training? I would answer that question by saying complete material that focuses on gun safety and how to use a gun correctly, a gun training program for all experience levels, knowledgeable and friendly staff members, incredibly experienced gun training instructors who give one on one attention, and it would also help if the environment was fun and inviting. I can see how most gun training schools would have a couple of those qualifications, but I can also see how it would be difficult to house all of them at once. Well, Ignatius Piazza pulls it off with Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.
Let me break it down. The gun training curriculum at Front Sight focuses greatly on gun safety and nothing is left out. Every exercise taught, learned and practiced at Front Sight is safe and supervised. Students feel as if they are getting personal gun training, even with other people in the class, because the instructors are, literally, the best gun training instructors in the world. Questions are answered immediately and thoroughly, until each student fully understands the answer. Every employee at Front Sight, even the people that answer the phones and work in the Pro Shop, are trained in Front Sight’s gun training program, extremely sharp AND super nice. On top of all that, Front Sight’s gun training courses are SO MUCH FUN.
Check it out and you will see that Front Sight truly is the gun training school with all strength and no weakness.

Next time you want to take a trip, why not head somewhere fun, exciting, educational and life changing? I am talking about taking a gun training course from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza at his gun training school called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute about an hour outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Front Sight just may open your eyes to a world you may have never known, change your life and improve your level of everyday safety.
Front Sight is educational. At Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, you will learn gun safety and everything you need to know about handling a weapon for self defense. You will learn things that may have never crossed your mind, no matter how much gun training experience you have under your belt. Everyone, from beginner shooters to advanced shooters, can learn from Ignatius Piazza and his team of professionally trained gun training instructors. After one gun training course at Front Sight, you can have shooting skills that surpass those of ninety nine percent of the gun owning population… even if you were a complete beginner to start.
Front Sight is fun. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute practices lots of hands on tactical training. Meaning that while other gun training schools will tell you to have fifty to a hundred bullets for your day of gun training, Front Sight’s instructors will tell you to have a hundred fifty. For before lunch. The more you shoot your gun in a safe and controlled environment, the more comfortable you get with your weapon. The more comfortable you are shooting, the better shooter you can become. Once you start at Front Sight, you will also realize that the more you shoot, the more fun you have. Since you will shoot a lot at Front Sight, you are going to have tons of fun.
Front Sight is exciting. In your gun training courses at Front Sight, you are going to do a bunch of things you would not get to do at other gun training schools. Ignatius Piazza and the Front Sight gun training instructors are going to set you up with awesome drills and experiences like a home invasion scenario where you get to go through a house, save the good guys and get rid of the bad guys, night gun training and even a shooting competition. Where else are you going to get gun training like that?
Front Sight is life changing. At Front Sight, Ignatius Piazza will teach you how to save lives, how to defend yourself and how to offer family protection. You will be safer, more confident and more aware of your surroundings. You will leave Front Sight a different person than you once were. It happened to me; Front Sight changed my life completely. My first trip to Front Sight for a Four Day Defensive Handgun Training Course is one of my favorite trips that I have ever taken.
Who doesn’t want to take a trip that can educate and change lives, especially when that trip involves tons of fun and excitement? Front Sight is waiting to offer you all of those things. It is time for a trip of a lifetime!

“There were police cars everywhere. One of the officers came on the megaphone and announced that there was a dude roaming the neighborhood who was armed and dangerous. I was home alone…”
My coworker proceeded to tell me the story of her experience over the weekend. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt, but I think I freaked her out at my question. “What would you have done if the guy came to your door or tried to get into your house?”
My officemates continued sharing frightening stories of our experiences from the past with armed men, potential burglars and police searches of neighborhoods. It is awful just how often we are put into situations that could require some serious self defense skills. I wrapped up the conversation by talking about my gun training from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, at his intense gun training school in Nevada called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Someone said, “Yeah, well I wouldn’t want to shoot a guy.”
I responded with, “Neither would I… but if it came down to it and I had to defend myself or protect my family… that’s the time that I would be blasted happy I had the gun training that I had.” I went on to explain that Front Sight trains students how to use a gun for self defense, but that the gun training school also trains students how to avoid needing to use the gun in the first place. The gun training instructors at Front Sight teach that a gun should only be used if there is no other solution or way out of the situation. They teach real self defense skills at Front Sight, not just how to shoot a gun.
I thought a lot about the situation that my coworker had described. I thought about what I would do if I were to be in her shoes. Then I thought about the difference between me before my Front Sight gun training and me now, after being trained by Ignatius Piazza’s professional gun training instructors. I am much more confident and comfortable with how I would handle a similar situation now, to say the least.
Front Sight offers the world’s best gun training that money can buy. In just a few days, any student of Front Sight can have shooting skills that surpass ninety nine percent of the gun owning population. Those few days with Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight can change any student, even complete beginners, into someone who can shoot better than someone that shoots guns for a living. Ignatius Piazza can make big changes in anyone’s life, including beginner shooters and well advanced and experienced marksmen. He made huge, unbelievable changes in mine, and I am so grateful for it.
Think back to the story about my coworker’s weekend. What would you do if you were in her shoes? If you do not know, or if you are uncomfortable with your answer, maybe it is time that you contact Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight and change it.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the awesome gun training school in Pahrump, Nevada (just about an hour outside of Las Vegas) is more than just a gun training school. It is more than just a place where you can learn how to be a great shooter. Front Sight is a place where regular people can go and change their lives. When it comes to gun training and learning how to use a gun for self defense, people do not have to be rich or have tons of experience in shooting to succeed at Front Sight. Heck, they will be perfectly fine with NO TRAINING WHATSOEVER because Front Sight will provide all of the gun training that anyone could need.
Dr. Ignatius Piazza and his team of highly trained gun training instructors teach not only how to use a gun for self defense, but how to avoid using a gun in the first place. They train students to adequately defend themselves without the use of a weapon, only using a gun as an absolute necessity. Students of Front Sight will also be mentally prepared for the effects of using a gun: physically and mentally. At Front Sight, I learned what it means to be in the Combat Mindset. I learned how to decide what my limits are and what to do before and after reaching them. Ignatius Piazza and the Front Sight instructors taught me taught me that my life will change if I need to use a gun for self defense, what to expect and how to handle each situation. Their guidance goes way beyond that of a normal gun training school. Front Sight doesn’t just teach you about shooting. Front Sight teaches you about life.
I learned the Color Code of Mental Awareness from Ignatius Piazza’s gun training program. I learned how to be aware… always… no matter where I am or what I am doing. Being fully aware of your surroundings will protect you because you will be more able to know when a threat is going to occur. Now, when I walk to my car or down the street, I know how to be aware of what is going on around me, such as where people are standing in the parking lot and what they are doing. Being attacked by someone you see coming is a lot different than being attacked when you have no idea what is going on. The more aware you are, the more reaction time you have. The more reaction time you have, the greater your chance of escape. Front Sight teaches you that true self defense goes beyond the barrel of a gun.
Most of all, though, was what happened to my confidence level during my stay at Front Sight. Learning that I can protect myself (and learning that I can protect myself from someone more than twice my size), learning a skill that can save lives (and it’s a skill that is pretty awesome at the same time), and learning that I don’t have to live my life scared or in a paranoid manner… these things all raised my confidence level in myself as a person. I know I no longer have to be afraid of walking to my car at night or living alone. I know that I will be able to protect my kids when I have a family. I know that no one can have power over me that I cannot overcome… Front Sight doesn’t just offer great gun training. Front Sight offered me a better life. And I took it. What about you?

I was standing in the doorway of the house with my gun training instructor from Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. I had just shot a guy (or hopefully shot a guy) that was holding a grenade at the other end of the house. Since I had been standing incorrectly in the doorway, I had no time to aim at Mr. Grenade Guy, and I just had to shoot and rely on the gun training I had received from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza and his team of professional gun training instructors.
I was learning what it was like to have to enter into a home invasion scenario and save people’s lives. It was all time critical and I was learning how to utilize my Front Sight gun training in real life. After clearing the first room, shooting two bad guys so far and NOT shooting two good guys, my gun malfunctioned. Because my Front Sight gun training instructors had taught me how to diagnose and clear gun malfunctions, I was able to clear my type three malfunction in about seven seconds. (We learned more about clearing malfunctions later, and I was able to shave my time down to less than six seconds!) Upon entering the second room, I saw him: the bad guy that had a gun to my sister’s head. He started to count down, telling me that he would shoot her in five, four, three, t- BAM! I had aimed and shot.
Then it was time. I was about to see my results. Did I hit the bad guys? Had Front Sight’s gun training helped me actually shoot on target, even under the crunch of time and stress? First bad guy: I missed once, but my other shot was exactly on target. Second bad guy (Mr. Grenade Guy): Huh. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training really DOES work. From the other side of the house with no time to aim, there were two perfectly placed bullet holes in his thoracic cavity. Third bad guy (the jerk that had my sister): One bullet hole right in his face. Did I hit my sister? Nope.
Well then. I guess Front Sight’s gun training was actually helping me, the person who started out as the worst shooter in the world. I had already learned so much about guns, gun safety and gun training, besides the things I have already mentioned.
Learning how to shoot quickly and accurately in the daytime in a well lit area is challenging. But how many times will you actually need to shoot in broad daylight? The fact is, is that most attacks and robberies happen at night when visibility is low. That is why Ignatius Piazza includes night gun training in his self defense gun training courses at Front Sight. In addition to shooting in low visibility, you will learn how to hold and shine a flashlight so that you don’t give away your location. And… if you’re like me… you will have to learn how to diagnose and clear a malfunction without being able to see it, while not moving one arm because you’re hiding your flashlight in the proper place.
Come with me into my Front Sight Night Gun Training in The Chronicles of Front Sight: My Experience, Part Six.

When you are considering something as important as gun training, it is crucial that you go to a really good gun training school. The way I see it, it would be irresponsible and even scary or worrisome to attend a sub par gun training school and receive less than the best gun training. I know that I, personally, would not want to rely on my abilities to save myself or protect my family if I had received training that was not complete or had not concentrated on gun safety.
At Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, Nevada (about an hour away from Las Vegas), you can receive the best gun training, knife training and self defense training that you will find, leaving you more prepared for real life.
What do I mean when I say prepared for real life? Many gun training schools will teach you how to shoot a stationary paper target. Some may teach you how to shoot moving targets, but few actually teach you how to use a gun for self defense. Founder and director of Front Sight, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, designed his gun training program to actually teach you how to use a gun in the time that you will need it most: to protect your life or the lives of your loved ones.
Sure, learning how to shoot a target may be fun and look cool at the shooting range, but, with only that kind of training, what would you do if a masked person breaks into your house in the middle of the night and starts running off with your baby? What would you do if someone comes up behind you and attacks while you are at the ATM? What would you do if someone pulled a gun out and pointed it at you?
Dr. Ignatius Piazza promises that when you receive gun training at Front Sight, you are taught the skills needed to handle these situations. Not only are you taught how to shoot accurately and quickly, but you are taught how to keep calm in dangerous situations. Through lectures, demonstrations and hands on shooting practice at Front Sight, students learn how to safely and effectively use a gun. Through real life scenario based training, students of Ignatius Piazza also learn how to respond to situations like home invasions and attacks from multiple people at once.
Gun training for real life self defense is a much better idea than simply gun training for shooting at a paper or metal target at the shooting range. Chances are, your attacker or perpetrator is not going to stand still and wear a sweatshirt that looks like a dart board. It would be nice, but let’s face it: that’s not real life. In real life, you are going to need to act quickly, smartly and safely in order to keep yourself and your loved ones as safe as possible. The gun training courses at Front Sight, like defensive handgun training and shotgun training, will teach you what you need to know and how you need to know it to keep yourself and your family safe.
