Re: Basic Defensive Pistol Training

I'm going to try the "Intro to Dynamic Defensive Handgun" at Gander Mountain, but I'm guessing there is only so much they can show in 4 hours.

Are there any certified instructors in the Houston (better yet Humble, Baytown, Atascocita) areas that offer training?

Thanks for the referrals.
There are at least two companies that either hire or are run by old BWIC guys (Blackwater "in country" meaning overseas security contractors) - I would go to them first if you are really serious. The first being Amerishield & http://www.ronintactical.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (the guy is "Levi".), Around the Houston area, their bwic occasionally teaches out of Patriot Arms in Galveston. Both are NRA certified, the Patriot Arms one is also a CHL. In Dallas there are two that are NRA instructors but I think they are still working contracts, so Im not sure if they are stateside. One I think also designs holsters. The Patriot Arms one has worked with NPSI, so I presume that some of their instructors can also help you.

However if you arent that picky, there are tons of "tactical" shooting instructors - I see their flyers all the time at the range. (You have to ask around to ahold of the BWIC ones.)
