I did some training some time ago. Listened carefully, took their advice, learned much, and improved my skill level. However, I was a little deflated when I started watching some gun videos from the more name-recognized. Much of the gun-option portion of the training was just regurgitated dribble....1911s are dangerous for CC, no decockers, safeties put you at risk (hence the XD bashing), Sigs have too high of a bore axis, anything but 9mm is bad, revolvers get you killed.....blah....blah....blah. My bedside safe gun is an XDm. Holds 20 rounds, carries a light and goes bang when it should.
