Event Type

This is the flagship 4-Day Defensive Handgun course at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, NV. It is recommended that you stay for the entire 4-day course; however, that is not mandatory. Some students who have already taken a regular Front Sight course may accompany Dave Duringer and Front Sight staff on a private range for focused, higher level instruction in handgun, rifle and/or shotgun. Dave Duringer will be on a private range for the first two days only, and will not attend the regular class, but will assist students where possible over the first couple days and we will try to meet as a group after the first day for dinner.

You will not be charged any tuition for this training — for a FREE enrollment voucher, all you need to do is watch a one-hour webinar on estate planning. (That’s Step 1 at www.guntrust.org — follow the other steps and we will give you virtually UNLIMITED training at Front Sight!) However, you are responsible for your own food, lodging, transportation, ammunition, and equipment.  Equipment rental is available if needed (we have rental vouchers at a discount). Generally when enrolling you must provide payment of $50 to Front Sight for annual background check, however when completing the enrollment process for one of the trips we organize, you can use our Front Sight credits for payment. Rather than logging in to our site and RSVP’ing as normal for our events, simply watch the webinar linked at www.guntrust.org and let us know after you watch it so we can send you a class voucher you can use for enrollment in the class. We will assist you with this process, if needed. Contact us once you are enrolled so that we can coordinate with Front Sight and get everyone on the same range, and pay for your background check with our Front Sight credits. You may use your class voucher to sign up for another class at a different time, but by attending with our group we can assist you with enrollment and getting acclimated to Front Sight so that your training is a success. AFTER you attend, remember to complete Step 3 at www.guntrust.org so we can give you virtually UNLIMITED Front Sight training. (Remember, you can get a taste of Front Sight training by attending the free airsoft training at our office in Grover Beach.)
