I'm looking for some recommendations on some pistol training in the STL area. My buddy wants to take some classes to improve his skills. He is beyond the very basic stuff, but just needs some technique refinement and such. I'm not looking for any tactical training. He doesn't care about faster reloads and shooting under stress and the like. Just normal instruction to improve accuracy and such.



Suggestions?

The Range in Ballwin does private lessons if that would be more what he is looking for.

I hate to send anyone to Ill for anything, but I know a guy right across the River in G.C. who has been doing training for awhile now and they just opened and Shop and training Facility...

He is a member here and through work I've known him for several years and can vouch for him being a good guy.

Seems kinda vague.  Accuracy at speed? Accuracy from rested positions?  With any training the goal is still to hit things

Yeah, that's a bit of a vague description.




It seems like most of the classes I'm finding are basic "I've never shot a pistol" class or advanced tactical combat stuff. Just looking for something in between that. He may have to go the one on one instructor time route.

Try Armed Missouri Inc.
Chris has a defensive pistol class that's really good.
I've taken it twice, once on a beta test run and again just this fall. He's in Bland, Mo, maybe an hour or so from Stl.
Also Bob (RJTCCW) had a next step class that sounds about what you'd want. I'm not sure if he still does it,but hrs on the forum so just look him up.
It's a good class to take.

Class or just a friendly get together (which we haven't done in quite a while).

Class means you get my undivided attention and instruction.

Get-together means I get to harass you.

Your choice.

I'd be interested in RJ's class as well.

Also, I've had a couple classes at AsymmetricSolutions down in Farmington (1 pistol, 1 rifle).

Highly recommended.
