Nevada Pistol Academy moving to Front Sight main campus

Earlier this afternoon, I received a call from an acquaintance in Las Vegas, who told me that Nevada Pistol Academy was closing shop at the end of this month (31 December 2002). I was a bit shocked, because for me this would mean no more "guns at cost", which has been a great attraction of the shop at the south end of the sea of lights.

I called the shop a few minutes ago and spoke to manager Todd Anderson, a really nice guy I've met before, and he explained that I had half the story: yes, NPA is vacating its present rented facility at the end of the month, but no, they're not going out of business. They're simply moving shop to the Front Sight main facility in Nye County, about 40 miles north, and taking over the FS Pro Shop operations, which will mean a marked improvement in overall selection, opening hours (normal hours rather than only when classes are in session), and a competitive place to buy guns.

Importantly, too, they'll be transferring their FFL to the new facility, which means they'll not be surrendering their Form 4473 files to F Troop.
