Don't ask me how I know. The older guy is quite gruff and critical, but when you leave you will know far more than when you came in. .....

Just wanted to follow-up on this accurate commentary. The un-varnished and very direct approach of the KR folks is exactly part of what made it good, IMHO. The "older guy" (ouch, my age) was the support instructor for my first course and lead instructor for my second.

KRT are definitely not fans of DA/SA handguns for personal defense. BUT, they explain why in logical terms and in no way did that interfere with the training I received using my DA/SA Sig; their response was to simply move directly into helping me learn how to train and practice properly with that action for best possible results. They consistently explain the basis for their critical opinions regarding technique and gear - you can't hope for anything better than that.

Just found this thread, I'm the individual OP E. Marquez mentioned. Thanks "E." and respondents for the suggestions.

Yes, the KR Training suggestion was very welcome indeed, accurately described in posts above, I should have started there instead of at "Brand X".

I wrote a review of both the bad and the good experiences of my beginning training and posted in the "Instructors, Classes and Training>General" section but it was promptly removed by mods as "suspected advertising or spam". Thought that was cleared-up via a PM exchange with mods but I still don't see it re-posted (?). So it goes.

Bottom line - thanks for the help.

EDIT - just found my training review post, it ended-up here viewtopic.php?t=76192" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
