CCW Defensive handgun training
So I completed a required CCW training course to get my CCW in Orange county.
Don't get me wrong the course was good, but it was lacking in tactics. What would be a good course that I can take to skill up now that I have my CCW. I would like to take something in the future like a week long class like a Mag 40, but I want to work up to that. I don't shoot IDPA or anything else but would like to try one day. I am in south Orange County but could travel for the right class and trainer. |

In the mean time:
Set up a target at home. Get some snap caps. Practice draw and dry fire. Use a timer. Finger off the boom switch, solid presentation, mount the trigger, acquire sights and fire. You can get a LOT of muscle memory built at home. Practice reloading from your ccw set up as well. Most self defense situations will be draw fire only and a mix of a lot of home practice with some range time can solidify your skills. I shoot pretty often but still try to get 20-30 minutes drawing and dry firing a day at home.

I have 3 guns on my permit. My main care is a CW9 in a IWB, 4 o'clock. G19 that I have a IWB on order for the winter. My 3rd is a M&P 40 that I carry on my mountain property in a sling bag or OWB under my jacket/sweat shirt.

You are doing the right thing by looking for additional training. I would suggest IDPA/USPSA to get you comfortable with handling the gun, loading/unloading, shooting in front of a lot of people, shooting on the move, hitting targets under pressure, etc.

I highly recommend DFT in Fernley NV http://dftraining.net/index.php?dft=dft_course_handgun
Rudy Waldinger teaches from real life experience using a handgun defensively against serious adversaries. Fernley is about 30mins east of Reno and his classes are very good values
