Ignatius Piazza wants each one of his Front Sight students to experience the freedom and comfort that is achieved through skill at arms. The curriculum of Front Sight delivered at a level of proficiency that far exceeded those who carry firearms for a living -- yet all training under the program of Ignatius Piazza was done without any boot camp mentality or drill instructor attitudes.
