I turn 30 in October and I think I can convince my wife to let me take a really nice training course as a gift. I know a lot of the local ones are exceptional, but going away and doing a Thunder Ranch type of program would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am looking for Defensive/Combative Pistol and wouldn't mind an AK/Carbine segment as well. I have seen great reviews on Thunder Ranch, Sig Academy, InSight, Suarez International, etc. I anyone has any first hand or direct experence with a program and highly reccomends it I would love to hear about it. Thanks!
