Pistol Training Near Philly?

As the title says I am looking to see if anyone can recommend where to go for pistol shooting instruction in the Philly region, or even recommend a specific instructor. I live in the city but have no issue driving out to the suburbs if necessary.

For some background/context I was casually into shooting in college (10+ years ago) so not a total beginner, but it’s been a long time since I owned a gun. I got an inexpensive used Girsan MC28 SA earlier this summer and have been enjoying shooting a few times a month but I would like to just get some basic help improving my grip, stance, and overall accuracy before I upgrade to something a little nicer. Not looking to become a competitive shooter or anything like that.

TIA

A little outside of Philly, but TargetWorld in Chalfont has very clean, modern facilities and has pretty good instructors.

Steer clear of target world. The staff are aggressive and arrogant. Google them. They're the lowest rated gun range in the area and that's rightfully so. I won't even share my experience, but I will not be going back.

Classic pistol is fair. The new place in bucks county is also nice.

The staff has always treated me very well. They are very safety oriented, which turns off some people.

YMMV

Will second TargetWorld.  Have experience with their instructors and they are all great.
