Frontsight $2000 4 day defensive pistol course for $69.

[Solus]

I haven't attended any Frontsight training courses, so I can't vouch for their quality.

I received an email from them offering their $2000 defensive handgun course for $69.

The details of the offer are copied from the email and posted below.

If Piazza is involved I can all but guarantee you there IS a catch. You just won't see or find it until you get there. No one gives away something of value for nothing. Least of all him. It isn't what he explains, it's what he doesn't.   Bill T.

He is a salesman.  And he likes to brag that Frontsight has doubled the number of folks taking the classes every year.

I suspect this has been a bad year for training, as it has for most everything else, and he won't make that number unless he starts giving away classes.

I'd like to hear how you were "caught" by him?

[TAB]

it doesn't say anything about how much ammo to bring...


big red flag.

I can read. Google his name, you'll get the phone book. Usually followed by the words "Scam", "Fraud", and or "Judgement". This guy makes Marc Rich and Tony Rezko look like choir boys. I see zero reason to become involved with anyone financially for any reason with a track record like this guy's got. Where is the reward?   Bill T.

He had an add in July's issue of GUNS Magazine offering a training package that includes a "free gun" in the deal...........

https://www.frontsight.com/free-gun.asp

Wonder what the price tag is?

[billt]

If Savage Arms, one of the most established, innovative gun companies in the country, was offering $2,000.00 .338 Lapua rifles for $69.00 for one month only, everyone would be suspect, and rightfully so. This guy offers basically the same deal price wise, and he's getting people to buy into it. Give me a break.   Bill T.

Agreed 100%.
That was kinda what I was trying getting with my sarcastic 'price tag' question.   

It may be really decent quality training, I don't know, but like several have already stated (up to and including the Illustrious MB), you usually 'get what you pay for' or if the deal seems too good to be true.........there are usually always hidden costs.

It's one of those situations, like a used auto, where you pays your money and you takes your chances.

I figure it turns out to be one of those things where you must use their ammo only (for safety reasons, of course) and they will be glad to sell it to you for a 'nominal' fee.

Bottom line, I'm not going to totally dismiss it, if I don't know all the facts, but I'd be really leery.

TJMHO,FWIW.

 Yeah, that really pegs the meter.
