Front Sight has a "deal" that for $200, you get:
-hardcopy manuals of Front Sight’s Defensive Handgun, Tactical Shotgun, Practical Rifle, Submachine Gun, Select Fire M16, Empty Hand Defense, and Edged Weapons Courses
-4-day defensive handgun course (you must travel to Front Sight to use this)
-30-state concealed weapons course (you must travel to Front Sight to use this)
http://www.frontsight.com/patriot/?order=DVD#DVDSounds like a pretty good deal. I missed out about 2 years ago on a similar FS deal, for $125 for the defensive handgun course.
But, the part that irks me is the tacit acknowledgement of a subscription... $50 annual to some sort of "Front Sight Patriot" newsletter. However, they say that on a monthly basis they will make similar offers for other training to members of this newsletter list. So I can take Tactical Shotgun, Practical Rifle, etc for $200 or so rather than the thousands of dollars they typically want for them.
What says APS? A worthwhile investment or not?
