If you eject a magazine Leave it on the ground ! Don't pick it up !! I really don't want to offend you but................ if you are willing to pay for training...get the best !!! Pay for a course at Gunsite !!!
You will never regret the cost!! There is nothing better !!

I don’t squat when I pee so no offense taken man. All your info and many others info and opinions have really helped me in choosing a cc weapon & comfortable holster.
Some of ya’ll are touchy when it comes to your weapon of choice! I like it. Lol
I’ve purchased 3 more pistols and several holsters to try out, but I am still sticking with my most comfortable and accurate weapon to continue my cc self defense course.
My trainer has some pretty strict rules on his range, one of which is dropping empty clips to the ground and not picking them up until instructed to. After my first class, I now bring a couple rags with me to give them a quick wipe down before I reload the clips. Haven’t had a jam since.

Anyone got any pics of their home shooting range? I’d like to see them for ideas, mines pretty basic but it does the job.

Good to hear. A gun you're comfortable with is worth it's weight in gold.
What holsters did you land up getting?
Don't forget to practice practice practice with your edc UNLOADED or with snap caps. There's plenty of drills you can do at home with your edc. One I've been doing lately is in vehicle draw and presentations. I do it at night so nobody can say I was brandishing my weapon. Also been doing non dominant hand draws presentation and mag change.
There was a thread on carrying in your vehicle. check it out. It's something to consider where and how you carry while driving.

Its not spontaneous if they catch the trigger on something...no hammer to put your thumb behind as you holster....catch the 'super safe cannot fire without a finger on it' trigger on something and they shoot themselves in the leg.

The biggest problem for a right handed shooter that tries to defend himself from a threat at the drivers window is bringing the gun to bear quickly without sweeping his body. Knowing you are intending to discharge the weapon..... your ready as you bring the gun across and you may discharge it early. The steering wheel is also in the way, if you bring the gun low you will sweep yourself and if you bring the gun high it is visible ....the best spot I have found to keep a handgun in the vehicle for the driver to access is above the drivers visor....as you bring the gun out of the holster your left hand goes to your right shoulder, you lean back to the right and discharge at a downward angle..that will limit bullet travel if you get a pass thru or miss.

That needs to be practiced and the holster needs to be well secured.

But no matter where you will store the gun it should be practiced dry until you get the bugs worked out....firing a gun sideways while its a foot away from you can be touchy. You defiantly want to know how to position your body to avoid self inflicted wounds.

Love my Judge. Load personal defense 410 shells in first two chambers. Then finish off with 45's in last three. Go ahead and make my day.

Well said marty. The visor is the best place for my truck other than against my seat belt buckle. For now it's next to the buckle as I can safely maneuver the gun while laying my body down. Keep in mind I have a solid bench seat which makes maneuvers easier.

I stopped reading at the end of page 4 so forgive me if I'm repeating anyone.

I carry a S&W Shield 9 in a leather/kydex holster inside waist band and I wouldn't change anything. There are guys that will tell you you have to buy an expensive holster to be comfortable but that simply is not true. I have tried several of my friends holsters and I cant tell much if any difference in my $40 holster and their $140 holsters.

As far as gun goes Id stick with what you have and just get more comfortable with it.It seems that everyone is offering classes these days and if that would build your confidence you should try out a couple of those. If I had it to do over Id probably buy a Taurus P111. my son has one and its far more accurate at a longer range than my Shield.
