I know there are combat classes, basic classes, etc. I know what a slide is, how it locks, where the mag release is, the rules of gun safety, where the off hand belongs, etc. Should I take a class or private lesson? If yes, specifically where should I start?

I am near Ft. Worth, Texas in Tarrant County.
I'm in NW Fort Worth, near the Lake Worth border. Where do you shoot or are consideirng shooting?

As for dry firing, I use snap caps in my Px4 Storm. You might want to check into them to see if you should use them.
