i followed US army marksmanship training book system, it's good for what it worth, posture, body positioning,hand location, aiming,sights adjustments.....better than nothing,it helped to get started.

then i took some lessons with a friend who is incidentaly a sniper teacher in val-cartier with 20 years under the bealt,3rd tour in irak...this guy know the business zillion times than me, so i just followed his advices, not that they're realy trained big time on pistols, for them pistols are barely usefull sidearms but when i've seen what he was able to do at 30 meters with one hand, i took a deep breath and said '''eeeeeewww , i think i'm gonna put an adds and sell''', that was an eye opening experience and cant wait for our next session togheter.

Lets see I shot with Slavex for a season or two, stayed at a Holiday Inn with a Professional once ot twice as I recall. Two days later my doctor gave me some pills and said I shouldn't hire anymore Professionals for two weeks. :D Haven't bothered with Professional since.

Depot, Fatts, CSC, NSHMRA, IPSC. The best is the experience I gained thru all the matches I attended shooting IPSC. I listen, and watch and learn from every match, Sean H, Jim S, Cliff M, James S, Steven S, Rob E, JP Drolette, etc..etc.etc... too many to mention. These are some of the best shooters in this country, regardless of occupation. There is a reason LE and Military use IPSC type courses of fire, and use similiar courses for competition. I reviewed the WP and fire games COF for the pistol competition, they are the same as IPSC stages, except easier.
 
After watching the IPSC videos I must say they are fast but there is one thing that stands out. The lack of cover. I have never shot IPSC, but if they are trying to make it true to reality then there should be do not cross lines where their feet must stay behind them. If you are shooting multiple targets in the open you won't get them all before you are hit unless you are shooting people who have not drawn yet.
Saying IPSC shooting is the best training for real life scenarios is like saying driving F1 cars is the best training for daily driving.
The thread starter only asked what the best pistol training is, but for what application? Competition, combat, police or self defense (CCW).
 
shooting fast and accurately wins. Doesn't matter what you're doing. In IPSC we pie corners, doors and windows just like you do tactically. However IPSC is not meant to represent real life, its a game. Funny though how the most in demand instructors on the planet are all IPSC guys though. And that's for training MIL/LEO.

what you may see missing is the use of cover I see at every match,...usually via barriers, fault lines, stage props,etc...
You may not see it from the camera's point of view, but the first hand "shooters" perspective it is obvious. A good example are the DAA dvd's,...Saul gives a first hand account using a hatcam. He is moving quickly enough that he sets up as he comes into corners,..and engages as they become visible. "Pieing" the corner works for the first target, but by then the other targets (ie: "threats"),..know your position.

F1 drivers have the ability to slow down and still be great drivers and give amazing performances,...same can be said about good IPSC shooters,...they can slow down to "pie" the corners, use cover if they choose to.;)
 
I'm not very good at this pistol thing. I've always wanted to take some training from someone that knows what they're doing.

Any ideas about where I could go or who I could talk to in the ottawa area?

:p

Man if I could keep up with you I'd turn in my skill sets in for track shoes.:D You back home from visiting God's Country. Well Calgary is a tad south of God's country...only 200 miles south that is.

I am back in rottawa.

Calgary wasn't on the visit list this time though. Was in Lac La Biche and up on Dad's trapline.

Was a good visit. :)
