hey there,
I am the proud owner of an XD-40, my first gun, and have been reading the forum for a while. Great place!
I have not shot the gun yet, just learning all I can first, and familiarizing myself with the weapon. Have not even put a loaded magazine into the gun until I get my first lesson in a couple of days. Don't want to take any chances!
My question to the experts is, is one 1 hour lesson enough to get me started? I know the things I need to cover such as, safety, loading, unloading, shooting techniques, holstering, cleaning and oiling, but is one hour enough to properly deal with all of this, or should I take more lessons than that?
I will be using the gun primarily for home defense, and feel like there is a lot of stuff there to learn. Should I also take home defense training?
Thanks for any input!
