SamO, self taught is what you will probably stay with considering your location and work schedule so develop a plan and set goals. The fundamentals are pretty standard and always applied w/ the 4 rules. Start w/ a perfect grip every time as you will never get to improve it once the action kicks off. Choosing holsters and concealment clothing will be determined by what allows a perfect firing grip every time. Consistency is born of repetition.
Hint: My issue gun for 12 years was a Sig 226 and we shot about 500 rds/week to a very strict standard. It would be difficult to find a more difficult pistol to master...it was very reliable on a diet of 147 gr. Gold Dots.

Now that would make entirely too much sense!
I was thinking the same thing earlier about how 'dumb' it is to try and get accuracy results when jumping from gun to gun and in a hurry in the wind....lol
Still fun though.
I have been stocking up on practice ammo and hope to get a little better here over the next few months. Mostly be practicing with the 19X and Echelon. A couple if the best pieces of advice that I got when I started competitive pistol shooting was to focus on the front sight & make it sharp & let the target blur, & squeeeeeeze. Lots of dry firing helps as well, do it when sitting around in the evening. MM

Thank you guys for the advice.
Something to think on for sure.
I couldn't imagine shooting in hectic conditions with 99% percent innocent people in the background.

I carry my S&W 2.0 full size 4.25" with an Armalaser green dot trigger guard laser. I carry Win 115gr Silvertips and a spare magazine. I sit at the welcome desk in the narthex during church service. I paced off the distance from the welcome desk to the front door and zeroed my sights and laser to that distance. My everyday carry is a SIG P365.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.

Sig P365,
On every day that ends in Y.
Ya'
GWB I’ve been carrying an Sig P365 XMacro today. 95% of the time it’s either that or a Glock 19X with an optic cut. I/ve found the Sig to be softer recoil than my Glock 19. I've have both the XL and The Macro Tac Ops but for me I am more accurate with the standard P365 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/w6x0zVJ8/Screen-Shot-2024-03-10-at-7-01-47-PM.png) Shoot is almost as good as a full size pistola. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/6wfz1gF6/Screen-Shot-2024-03-10-at-6-57-20-PM.png) I've got old man's butt and a full size 1911 drags my pants down, plus the Sig has a higher magazine capacity. Even carrying with an extended mag is easier to conceal that a full size auto. Ya! GWB

The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins Matthew 25 NKJV 25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming. If you need it and don't have it, whose fault is that. I endeavor to be sure I have what I might need at any given time. ya! GWB

I wouldn't walk into a church that banned weapons. In our church, anything you can conceal is fine. Same here. It’s encouraged at my church. My former church held men’s fellowships at a local gun range. That was a lot of fun getting together and seeing what everyone else brought. Ours, too. One of the members is a world class custom gun maker.
