I'll second TDI (Tactical Defense Institute) in southern Ohio. My wife and I first attended TDI when we lived in Indiana. Since we moved to Arizona, we have returned to TDI several times. They have all the classes you are looking for and more. Instuctors are freindly and helpful. You'll...

You guys have it made. We are only getting up to 74 degrees today!:D

No need to worry about extra layers during the cold months as long as you follow-up your body shots with one to the head.

It's a nice shooting pistol!
