Good course, good range, bad hours.

I shot 3 gun at Magnan for years. Used to be a bit of an old boys club, but with a little effort on my part, they became good friends.
I'm w/ PT on Cordova - I wouldn't recommend it. They are being encroached upon by new sub-divisions and I'm sure they will be shut down before too long.
The Gun Room has the nicest/only indoor facility, but like so many places, they suffer from poor service and a worse lack of knowledge. Prices are high, though I would probably expect that in this day and age. I have a friend that is doing lead remediation - boy are they in for a surprise when they have to do it the firs time.
SacValley is my all around favorite. GREAT place. Membership driven, and open to the public. There is a new GM there that I haven't really figured out yet... They have a GREAT tactical rifle club. I know there are several others there, but that is the only one that I have been a part of.
RE: training, I did train w/ TFTT there several years ago - too 2 (maybe 3, can't remember) classes. My experience with them combined with documented accounts of safety issues that they have had down at Burro in SoCal, I won't be using them anymore. But, that's just me.
For training up here, I understand there is a new operation opening up in Napa that might be worth looking into.
However, for the last 2 years (maybe 3?) all my training (except my CCW, that must be done with a local) has been done with
Self Defense Firearms Traning and Greg Block. What started out as a desire to better defend my loved ones and myself has turned into a friendship that I value dearly.
