Top notch training is a beautiful idea. Now that we are back in the real world where we don't get paid that much lets look at some things you can and SHOULD do.

1. Whatever you buy practice with it till you are sick of it.
2. Get comfortable holding it, I don't care if you have to sit in the living room and fondle it while watching all the lethal weapon and die hard movies. I have seen officers who were not comfortable holding their own gun and let me tell you you can see the difference when they shoot.
3. Shoot what you practice with. Don't be a bonehead and buy 500 rounds of wadcutters because they are cheap, then put premium stuff in the gun you have never fired and wonder what happened.
4. Practice some more.

It is better to be the overpracticed gunloving nutjob that the guy who did just enough and gets a company paid for funeral.

my 2 cents.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
