There's a lot of good videos on YouTube that compare shotgun loads for home defense. They use ballistic gel, dry wall and fabric. It's good to watch it in action.

I have the Ruger EC9s, not sure if that's what you have for your lady but I hear the LC9 is basically the same. Shoots great, I love it for a glove box or tackle box pistol.
Right now my carry is a Taurus snub .38, depending, sometimes the Ruger or my trusty 9 shot cheap but effective Heritage revolver.
I have a 1964 Ruger 10/22 that I tricked with a decent scope and upgraded 25 rd mag. Just for some good plinking fun.
For deer and wild boar I have a field/tactical 12g and for archery season I've been using a recurve. Fun stuff, now I'm ready to go blow some shit up.
This is really welcome information. I’m looking around now to see who I might take a class from

So you or someone help me understand what specific they teach you.
Do they teach how to get proper sight picture, arm positioning in relation to sight picture, and how to handle recoil? I only want to get more accurate, there's multiple things that factor in and I believe a lot of practice will eventually be what teaches me the most. I'm open to a class, but $170 a pop I'm not sure if that will be worth it. I really learn by repetition, if I get the basics down, wouldn't practice via live shooting on target paper be what really is needed?
You need to drill with dry firing as well.
Kyles classes are around $700 I think for a 2 day class. They cover everything from fundamentals, accuracy, shooting under stress, multiple targets etc.

I’m the same way. I really do not like my glock at all. It doesn’t fit in my hand and feels poorly built.
I have a canik mete and It’s my absolute favorite.

My neighbor back at my parents house has over 25k rounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was closer to 50k.
Guy is an absolute freak with his guns. He has a room in his basement with a vault door that is the size of a garage filled to the brim with shit. It’s so fun to go in there and look at his collection. He says he buys a few boxes of ammo every paycheck and has been doing it for years

It will be totally worth it.
There is too much to cover in a post here, but due to the fact that you are relatively new, NOW is the best time to take the class, before you develop a lot of bad habits that are more difficult to train out. And doing it on your own, you will develop a lot of bad habits.
You don't need some whiz bang ex-Navy seal tactical class. Just go take a basic pistol class with live fire from a certified instructor.
This will come with an experienced eye who looks at your grip, stance, and so on, and makes small changes that will benefit you as you continue learning to improve.
I have taken, cumulatively, weeks of classes. Every once in a while, every few years, I go take a very basic class, and I learn something new every time, even though I am probably what would be described as more "advanced."
Spend a couple hundred bucks.
It is so worth it. This is not even really a question.
Just go in without a chip on your shoulder, open eyes, open ears, open mind, and soak up what you can.

I read and only now I realized what a good comparison with watches or collectible shoes. Very accurate comparison.

Anyone ever consider one of these ? I wear gym shorts / sweats a lot
I’m looking to buy my son a 1911 for Xmas, I’m considering a Springfield Garrison .45 in stainless, the supply is getting low so I may order it up soon and have it transferred to an FFL here
It definitely doesn’t help that I was off today on a rainy and miserable day watching the John Wick movies, hahahah
I like it. I have a sig 1911 STX. Has a nice look to it.
Awesome! Yea I like the classic look of the 1911’s myself. I can’t believe how many Browning 1911 guns come in .380 now! It’s 45acp or bust if I’m rocking a 1911
