I use different folks for teaching when it comes to shooting handguns because as you have seen there are as many different ways to do it as there are people. Is there a "wrong" way, well only if you miss what you are shooting at then probably yes there is. If the gun is to be used for home defense some time then figure what the situation might be like and simulate what you would encounter.

As an example if I am at school late at night and my wife, who is not well but a good shot is upstairs in bed when someone breaks in, what should she do? I said pull out the Colt Detective Special in her corner of the bed, then dial 911 and stay in bed. We have a dim light in the hallway so she could see someone in the door way so when they come through she is to warn them and then start shooting. She has practiced shooting laying on her back and can easily hit a man sized target at the distance to the door way. Is this callous, only to the person that has just been shot 6 times hopefully then yes I guess it is.
