The vast majority of shooters I see never evolve their training beyond basic slow fire target practice at an indoor range.

Do you blow through expensive ammo on the range, without ever moving the meter on your skill development?

If you want to develop real proficiency, there is no way around training and practice —putting in the reps in dry fire and live fire— and testing your skills way beyond single round accuracy at 3 yards.

My EDC set up was a failure. I needed to fix it.

Take an active role in your development by turning questions or problems into bite-sized chunks of learning. This increased knowledge will be a motivating force.

Is a subcompact always the best choice for EDC? When to consider a larger frame.
