I have several handguns - from 22 plinkers to ccw platforms to full size range/hd. All are fun and I enjoy all of them. That being said, I have limited time to hit the range. A full time career, three small kids, and a wife I really enjoy all are higher priorities than my hobbies.
I am looking to get the most out of each practice session. It goes without saying that each trip will involve time with my ccw pieces. But if I really want to become a better shooter across ALL handgun platforms what should I gravitate towards?
Part of me thinks that a double action rimfire snubby would be the best. It makes sense to me that the heavy trigger of a double action revolver would act as sort of a weighted baseball bat or golf club - it makes shooting the 'real' guns easier. The same goes for the (typically) inferior sights on the little guys - if I can master those, then 'real' sights will be easier. Now this is all a theory in my mind and I could be way off base.
What handgun, in your opinion, would be best as a 'practice' gun to make me a better overall shooter with my limited time at the range?
