Thanks. There's an additional point that I failed to make earlier: Practicing holstering and unholstering with an AirSoft pistol allows you to experiment safely and get past the initial fumbling problems, dealing with cover garments, etc. Repeated practice gets the movements programmed into muscle memory.

If you can only shoot at a public range where you can't practice tactics, you can do some additional work with dry firing or an AirSoft pistol.

Re: Is Target Shooting Best For Self Defense?

Bullseye shooting is the foundation of all good shooting. There's more to learn, but I think it's dangerous to skimp on bullseye, IMHO.

There are plenty of formal courses. Just google "tactical pistol training."
