I think the best approach is to take some formal classes that give you the basics of gun handling from the holster. You'll learn things like speed reloading, reloads with retention, clearance drills, and have safe techniques drilled into your head. Trigger finger STRAIGHT will echo through you soul after proper training.

Then with the basics in hand you step into an IDPA match and use that for regular practice. IDPA matches will keep those gun handling skills in your muscle memory and the always different stages will show you your weaknesses to work on. I know everyone points out IDPA is not "training", but its about the best the average Joe can hope to do. It moves you beyond just plinking at that bullseye target at the public range and is a natural way to practice particularly for folks who actually carry with a CHL.
