It's. No different than if you want to be a "racer". You start out with and periodically go take training.

=======================
It's funny you should mention that. It is also a good school from what I have heard, and yes with their training your grip is probably correct as well.

"Front Sight" is also the name of the magazine for the USPSA.

I carry a .45 Kimber for a carry weapon. For home security I have a home defense 12 ga. Loaded with high brass buck shot and alternating slugs. Point and shoot, it will knock the perpetrator down.

Although I have a handgun, in my opinion the best GUN for.home defense is a pump shotgun. The sound of a shell being jacked into the chamber makes a strong possibility that you won't have to pull the trigger. It is a terrifying sound to all but the most determined assailants.

I'd agree with a pump shotgun, but if you must have a handgun go with a Taurus Judge loaded with .410 home defense loads

I use a 12 GA Pump. I keep one in the chamber with the safety on.
I don't want a perpetrator to know where I am unless he is able to here the safety comes off. I know the places around the house that I know what would make a good defendable position and a place where the perpetrator would have to come through a narrow passage.

With my wife behind me, I feel I heve a good preset plan to make a strong defensive location.

My wife has a 10 shot .22 Pistol that she can shoot very accurately and very naturally. If she ever had to use it, 10 .22's in the chest would be very uncomfortable to say the least.

I have found that women are naturally good shots (the ones that are no scared to shoot).

Jody,
Did you get the pistol grip with your mossberg? Also, gen 3 or 4 on the Glock?
