more advanced than CCW pistol class after the holidays?

[josh7328]

I'm looking for a defensive pistol class to take after the holidays all settle down. I've taken my CCW class, and watched alot of youtube videos, but that's it.[LOL] Considering that my pistol is the weapon that I am most likely to use for defense, I need more training on it and my trigger time on my new CCW pistol is basically non-existant (less than 100 rounds!!!). There are alot of firearm instructors around the CoS area, but I'm looking for suggestions. I have a pretty limited budget, and would like the class to be around 1000 rounds max. .45 ACP ain't cheap!

P.S. anybody know of some inexpensive brass cased .45 to use for this class? Is steel cased ammo THAT bad for a gun like an XDm?

Contact RW and tell him what kind of training you are looking for. http://rwfirearmstraining.com

Steel cased ammo can be hard on barrel chambers of certain types and extractor claws. The XDs barrel should be fine with the steel cases, but the extra wear on the extractor claw might be a concern. Getting XD parts can be a problem. If you crack the claw, it might be harder to replace the part. The only other concern would be if the steel cases are sticking in the chamber and not extracting. Mild steel doesn't relax or self-lubricate like brass.

He is a great teacher with lots of patience and experience. Every time I shoot with him I measurably improve. He's not in COS but location should be secondary to quality.
