...and LOTS of practice under simulated stress...

You may try out pistol competition such as IDPA. It mainly focuses on "practical defensive" scenarios, such as drawing from concealment and engaging "enemies." Even though it is competition, it puts the shooter under stress. Also, it's likely that there is a chapter relatively close to you as it is an international association.
From the IDPA website: "The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. It was founded in 1996 as a response to the desires of shooters worldwide. The organization now boasts membership of more than 17,008, including members in 50 foreign countries."

As other people mentioned, I'd also recommend reading Massad Ayoob's book. I'm not aware if it has been released as an ebook, but check out sites like amazon.
