No, not yet - but I'm registered for the 4 day handgun class in April. Here's the review that piqued my interest:

I have a some friends that have been there for a few classes, they loved it. They both joined and have lifetime memberships. People that go there mostly love FrontSight, professional, amazing facility, great instructors, etc. etc.. Doc IP (owner) is kind of a little questionable if you read about him on the Internet, but you can't believe everything you read on the Internet, and the place gets great reviews from people that have been there. If you Google 'Frontsight owner problems' you might get scared from some old forum posts, but overall I think it is a great training resource.

I and three other people took the Defensinve Handgun class there last year and all four of us have nothing but good things to say about it. I've written about it on here before; I'm sure you could find my thoughts on it if you are industrious.
Edit: Here, I found my semi-review post: Firsthand Experience

Really good instruction and the instructors are first rate. Class size is large, but I had no problems with how things were done. I ignore most of what Piazza sends me but I did get my brother-in-law and his wife lifetime memberships (they were really cheap). I've been twice and will go back.

I've been to a couple of classes. The instructors are very good, they want everyone shooting the same, because of the large class sizes, but aren't anal about it. Very safety oriented, lots of shooting even in a 2day. If you have any significant exp, the 2day basic is a waste IMO. The skill builder is better, the 2day tactical better still. The 4day is a combo of the basic & tac classes. I just don't like being on the range 4days in a row so passed. The only issue is some you must take before taking the 2day tac. I don't live close enough to buy a membership & wouldn't pay full price for any of the classes, but it is not a bad place to get some good training.

Just got back last week with my wife and another couple. In a word...fantastic. Lot of good training. I just thought I knew how to shoot and been doing all my life. We all will definitely go back. Very intense, but fun. We all now are members. Believe the advertisements.
At first I was a little bit of a skeptic. Now that I have been, I understand the reviews. Plus, not only is this about training, it is rooted in a strong support of the 2nd Admendment. I just don't understand how people who have never been there believe all the 'bad' press about one of the strongest supporters of what all of us gun owners do  . If you get a chance, GO!

I go to the defensive handgun 4 day class at the end of March. Given the comments on this thread I feel very good about that decision. It does sound intense and hopefully this old man can hold up.
