Training

[Sheepdog]

Trai ning, practice, competition (SaturdayGames) are all helpful. Putting rounds down range from a holster, dry fire, instruction all help you develop trigger control, draw, tactics, sight picture muscle memory and overall familiarity with you gun. Games are games. Pick one (or all) you enjoy shooting.(three gun). The one thing I would suggest is that whenever you are at the range shooting, be working on something, don't just go blasting rounds down rage, have a plan. You don't want to practice doing it wrong.

To OP when I suggested you go to a USPSA or IDPA match, I did not mean you had to shoot it. That is just a good place to find people that are shooters. A good place to get advice. (Not always good advice and lots of opinions)

I have also had some of the best training that Uncle Sam's money can buy but if you cannot apply what you learned in a real life situation then did you really learn anything!!!

I hope that makes sense!!

Makes perfect sense.....But having the knowledge is a great thing to have.

Exactly!!

The firearm training is excellent to have but you also need the mindset to put it to use when in a situation that requires it.
