As is customary on self defense/CCW threads the discussion centers on the tool. Very few choose to discuss the most essential priorities which are mindset, training and focused deliberate practice.

Dryfire is free and very effective, your phone can become your shot timer and video system. If you are unwilling to make the effort to become competent you missed the mindset train. Set up your camera and video your presentation and see how much wasted motion you can eliminate. Use your phone as a shot timer and and see how long it takes it takes you hit a 6" paper plate at 10 yards from concealment. If you can't do this cold, on demand in 1.5 seconds your are fooling yourself about your competence. Add in the essential elements of positive target ID and discrimination and you will begin to understand the attention to detail necessary to kill w/ ruthless efficiency.

Or you can proclaim yourself good enough and talk schidt on the CF.
