That Les Baer is the one to have !!
Real good way to learn to handle a pistol in CCW protection situations is find a local IDPA club. My son was shooting it with a Glock told me it was fun so gave it a try with my 1911 Figured how hard could it be ?
Real hard it turned out, but the local club went to great lengths to help new shooters. I had qualified a number of times in the service, not the same as draw and shoot under duress, matches are scored by time with seconds added for misses. IDPA puts strong emphasis on using available cover, strong hand weak hand shooting, shooting in dark rooms with a flashlight etc.
Learned far more than any of the expensive schools you can attend. At Minimal expense. Worth a visit to see what goes on. Matches they run classes for 45 Auto's 45 Revolvers. 9 MM Service Pistols, any caliber Custom Pistols, 38 Service Revolvers, and very interesting, "Back up Gun " in two classes Auto and Revolver. Barrel has to be under 3 inches.
