One thing I hate about the internet is sometimes people think they can learn how to shoot by watching youtube.

It looks kool and works good on a range or WHEN YOU ARE ON A MISSION IN A WAR WHERE YOUR HANDGUN IS A BACKUP. Even then it will likely be carried in some kind of retention holster and have a lanyard on it.

Try them kool looking mall ninja moves while carrying a bag of goodies you just bought at the mall and fight off someone that just blind sided you.

Gun fights are not like a trip to the range, they aren't even nowhere close to IDPA or IPSC if you do that stuff.

Listen to M1911, he has pretty well summed it up pretty well, and the training isn't a bad idea either.
