I'm into shooting defensive handguns. What now?

Im into training, not just buying stuff for the sake of it although i have considered branching out into other calibers and makes. Im into 9mm S&Ws now. I've been shooting more and starting to compete some in IDPA. I don't just go to the range and blast away, I'm trying to improve accuracy and technique.

I'm planning on putting triggers and sights in some guns.

Where do I go next? I've finally got to where I'm "good" but not great. How do I make the next step?

Pay for some one on one instruction?
Attend a course?
I dry fire and its really good practice. Any laser kits/targets out there?
I've thought of getting a 22LR pistol to shoot more.

If I put money into range/training time I know its well spent.

What else can a guy do to improve his skills and practice?
