I just bought myself a new S&W M&P 9mm handgun. This is my first gun, and I looked and tried out several different guns before deciding on this one. Actually, this was the only one that fit my hand well (I have small hands),and I could actually press the slide lock without any difficulty. My question is, what is the best way to learn to be a good proficient shooter w/o spending tons of money? I plan on taking a concealed weapons class, but they don't spend a lot of time teaching to use your gun, although it is a 10 hour class. Should I get a private instructor (lots of money) or will going to the range and practicing sufficient (cheaper option). I will spend the money if I need to, not a problem.
There is a place not too far from my house, that has an all day's hunters course which teaches mostly gun safety, I'm not sure yet about proper gun use.
BTW, my DH will be getting a new gun too, so we'll be doing this together. Also, I've already put the cable lock on my gun, and put it away, and given the the kids the 411 on guns, though i really only need to worry about the youngest. They will, of course, be learning about proper use and safety precautions of guns as well; for all of you who are anti-gun.
