The most cost effective way to get some basic defensive pistol training is to simply join up with your local IDPA club. It's mucho fun, very addictive, slightly competitive, and a great way to spend an evening with like-minded folks.

Most clubs are always looking for new shooters and if you’re observant, you will learn very quickly. What you don’t learn on your own, there will be no shortage of experienced shooters willing to help.

If you’re made of money, by all means go spend a couple thousand on a week in the desert but for my money, and to get a consistent weekly regimen in, I’m all over IDPA.
