The most important part of defensive handgun training is regularly shooting your defensive pistol. Regular training builds muscle memory and the skills necessary for accurate shooting.

The pistol you carry to protect yourself is the one you need to be the most familiar with. It is important to choose a pistol that works for you.

Don’t forget to shoot your defensive handgun

When I return to my Glock 19, I have a tendency to aim high when I extend out to fire a shot. Other guns I have grip differently than my Glock also.

Spending time on the range is fun but I always spend time shooting my EDC shortly after.

Train to protect yourself
