If you have no direct experience, while you may offer the contact info, an opinion on relative merit is inappropriate, IMHO.

What kind of non sense is that?

When making a decision between two things you have no direct experience with you have to make a judgement call- which is an opinion on relative merit based on the information you have and what you value most.

You've never had to decide on option A or option B with no experience with either?

They have a Fighting Rifle class among others.

I haven't taken any training with them but I would guess that for the same cost, his no nonsense training methods are as good or better than anyone else's despite his controversial personality.

I like people who speak in plain English and focus on training than those who focus more on trying to impress with their knowledge and use of industry jargon. ie. if I hear the phrase "Dynamic Critical Incident" I walk away

I would also recommend Reid Henrichs with http://www.valorridge.com/ but he does not travel to TX that I am aware of.

I have zero personal experience with Yeager and based on his Internet personality, I never will. Little nuggets of wisdom like "1911's are like strippers and Glocks are like fat girls" tell me everything I need to know about him.

I also have zero personal experience with him and I understand the sentiment towards him but from what I've seen and read I think his training methods are sound. YMMV. In a gun fight what's going to matter more, sound training or internet personality?

In Greenville area - http://www.criticaldefensegroup.com/

In McKinney area - http://txconcealedcarry.com/

I've been looking at Critical Defense for their handgun classes. About the closest I've found to my neck of the woods.
