Hi guys,
I am planning on taking my first defensive pistol course either in April or May, but have a decision to make. I am choosing between a few different places. Some use Weaver, some use modified isosceles/natural action stance. Should I base my training decision at all on the stance the instructor uses.
A little about me. I have a little formal training (NRA basic Rifle, my Illinois CCW course). In my CCW course and for the test I used modified isosceles. However, that was primarily because I learned it off a Chris Costa DVD (Operation Z, a REALLY good beginners intro to pistol shooting). When it came time to take the test I shot a ragged hole through the X ring, having only fired a real handgun once before almost 20 years prior. So, I am pretty sure that technique works for me. The question is should I be married to it.
To give some more detail, the two programs that I am considering are these:
Defensive Handgun 1 - SAF Training Division
and
Introduction To Defensive Handgun ? Bonfield, IL ? 05/16/2015
Any help/feedback on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
