Sharpshooters has classes to improve shooting skills. Cost is $125 for a two-hour one-on-one class
with the instructor. Bring the firearms and two boxes of ammo. Might do it just for the hell of it.

Save your money. Take a golf lesson. Much harder than shooting.

I've wasted enough money on golf lessons. I need to spend a lot more time practicing if I really
want to improve. I don't see myself doing that.

I've noticed at the range that there are some people very proficient in
shooting who are always willing to watch your stance, shooting style and
offer suggestions. When I had the S&W Bodyguard and was constantly
shooting low, one guy (turns out he's on the club competition pistol
shooting team) pointed out what I was doing wrong. He helped a lot but
I still didn't like that pistol. I suppose if it was the only handgun
you had and shot, you'd become very familiar with it but when you shoot
other handguns as well, it becomes a pain in the ass to concentrate on
the idiosyncrasies of one gun.

My SIL has a Bodyguard. I didn't like it either. I took her to the range to learn how to shoot it,
but it wasn't the gun I'd buy.

I like the Sig P938 much better.

How do they compare size wise? The one good thing about the Bodyguard
is that it was a good pocket size pistol. Problem was that if I ever
had to use it in a hurry for self-defense I'd probably hit the sucker in
the foot.

Pocket pistols give me the creepies. I dunno why. If I were buying a
carry pistol, it wouldn't fit in my pocket. My fav revolver probably is
the S&W 686.

For concealed carry, I liked the pocket sized S&W. I had a nylon pocket
holster for it. Thing is, in the summer at the guitar shop I often wore
light "T" shirts or something that made concealing a hip or back holster
a little difficult. You can always tell who's carrying in the summer.
They usually have a un-tucked shirt or a light jacket on, even in 90
degree weather. The pocket sized S&W Bodyguard was convenient that way
and was small enough to be inconspicuous. Many musicians are liberals
and don't take too kindly to a guy selling them a guitar with a gun on
his belt. :-)

I have a buddy who carries in an ankle holster. I get a kick out of
that. I could just picture myself being robbed up at the shop and
hopping around on one foot while asking the guy to hold on until I drew
my weapon.

Over a period of time I've gotten to be great friends with my Hungarian FEG-PA63 in 9mm Makarov. At 50 ft. I can rapidly empty the clip and ping up a gallon paint can lid with ease.

You still should have a holster, even for a pocket pistol. I agree I
don't like the pocket idea either. When I was carrying I used a cross
draw hip carry or the good old shoulder holster if I was wearing a
suit. Both were accessible in the car.

I was thinking about Dick's post last night. I'm halfway thinking of getting one of these:

They come especially made for various pistols, including the P938.

And then I wondered, why not just carry it in the front pocket of my jeans - without a holster. What
does the pocket holster do for you?

The P938 is .65" longer, weighs 4oz more, and has a barrel .25" longer. Here's the specs on mine:
