The NRA Basic Pistol course is good to get someone up and running, or to help understand different types of pistols, basic functions and controls. It also includes a limited amount of shooting from static position. It sounds like you are not terribly experienced, but not uncomfortable working with your particular gun, so the NRA Basic Pistol course might provide some value to you but not as much perhaps as for someone who is a bit more green.

The benefit of some of the activities at Conroe Shooting Academy, most likely Mr. Roberts courses and surely other offerings in the area are added dimensions -- presentation (drawing from holster and shooting), engaging multiple targets, use of cover and concealment, shooting moving targets, low-light shooting, adding stress by using a timer for certain drills, excercises with specific targets designated as "no-shoot", etc... Without a question such classes/activities/learning opportunities are a good thing to take advantage of -- for all of us.
