I'm glad to hear you had a positive experience there. I've wondered about them since we visit Vegas about twice a year.
I've been a bit put off by their website which shows Dr. Ignatz to be a world class self promoter, attaching himself to the reputations of Jeff Cooper, Massad Ayoob, Chuck Taylor, etc. (most of whom are not above a bit of self promotion themselves, but they have the real 'rep'.)
Their 'Free Machinegun Class', which is advertised all over Vegas, strikes me as kind of cheesy and probably does not give a lot of ordinary people 'warm fuzzies' about firearms.
I agree they are not a 'scam', but would advise Ignatz to change his marketing a bit, so it's not all about him. If he's fighting for the cause, more power to him. I just hope he remembers that the cause is more important than he is.
I guess I prefer true tactical training over a sales pitch. It's a good idea if that is what you want, but I wouldn't stake my life on the information learned there. While I personally haven't been to Front Sight and I have no plans on attending, I do know some professional operators who have attended and their critiques weren't very kind. If you want true tactical training, I suggest you check out Storm Mountain Training Center. There, Long Range Rifle 1 will take you out beyond 700 yards, Long Range Rifle 2 goes beyond 1000. SMTC also offers true sniper instruction courses. The handgun classes are geared towards surviving a real gun fight and the stress put on you in the advanced classes is more intense than what you will get anywhere else.

Check out the Storm Mountain website. You will be impressed. If you think you got good at Front Sight, take the handgun classes at Storm Mountain. Your shooting will improve 10 fold both in speed and accuracy.
