...There are some things I am not as proficient in as I would like to be due to time . The major concern I have is how I will react when it actually does happen. I train and go over and over what I would do and how in my head. However when SHTF and I am under serious stress I wonder how I would actually react. My situational awarness is always good. Im looking for more training by the way. Any very intensive Combat Handgun schools you recommend fiddletown, I dont care if I have to travel. I went to two in my area, one was kind of half-a$$ed the other was very helpful. However, I know there are top notch classes out there and want to take one of the best. I would really like to try those simmunitions. Any recommendations?
I certainly support getting additional training.
I've taken three classes at
Gunsite, just north of Prescott, Arizona; and I highly recommend them. There have excellent facilities and excellent instructors. I recently took the Intermediate Handgun class there and wrote
this article. You don't get into simunitions until some of the more advanced classes, however.
I also recommend classes from
Massad Ayoob. He's especially strong covering the legal side of the use of force.
I've also taken classes from Louis Awerbuck. He's an excellent instructor as well.
I've heard good things about Thunder Ranch, John Farnam, Tom Givens and the Firearms Academy of Seattle, but have no personal experience.
Taking classes is a good way to learn to perform under stress. Classes can be stressful because you're being expected to perform amongst strangers, and no one likes to embarrass himself. And IDPA or USPSA competition is also a good way to get practice performing under stress.
Maybe some other cans suggest some other schools. You start a thread asking for suggestions.
