Should I get a couple hours of private school instruction just on drawstroke to start Tactical Pistol training?
I'm a complete "tactical" pistol novice. I want to start with the 100% proper drawstroke, and need the proper instruction to do that correctly. Still deciding on carry technique/holster, and I guess I need that figured out first, correct? I want to learn the correct Plainclothes/CCW drawstroke, with my own weapon(s).
(2 pistols, KAHR P45, and S&W442)
I want to get educated, but $$ Funds are limited.
It's time to start the proper "training" and I'm wondering if introductory IDPA is a good starting point, or a school (or both).
From hunting with a handgun (small game) I do have solid handgun handling skills but have never been exposed to SD/tactical shooting. And Arizona ain't getting any safer! I worry about my wife and myself.
So, where's the best (for the $$) initial training in proper muscle memory? Introductory level Defensive Pistol at IDPA? Or start with a good Tactical school ($1385+ but worth it!)? Or would I be okay with a couple hours of private school instruction just on drawstroke to start practicing?
