My guns are good, and so am I; my eyes, however...

not a total expert, but then I don't do guns for a living. I have been a handgunner for lets see, right at 45 years. I shoot often, load my own, have decent gear and guns. I have been through a few courses, and I hunt large and small game with a handgun.
Yeah, I think I have the mindset to use the handgun if I had to. I feel I would aquit myself in a satisfactory manner if need be.

I'm a new shooter myself, about a year and a half. My problem is I can't settle on one gun. I'll buy one, shoot it at the range and if I can't hit anything I'll say it's the gun and look for something else. I've never taken any lessons other than the basic safety course. I think I need to stick with one gun, take some classes and practice. What do you guys think? Thanks

tsenn, find one guy you like. Buy another just like it. Go to school.
You're on the right path.

Hi tsenn
Here's a site with lots of good information about how to shoot a handgun. Don't miss the Army Marksmanship Section.

The NRA has classes in shooting and safe gun handling.
I'm sure there are companies in your area giving defensive shooting classes.
When you get a handgun you will find dry firing can help you see if you are causing the front sight to move in relation to the rear sight when you squeeze the trigger.
Think safety.
It never hurts to check the gun again to make sure it is unloaded, even if you think it is silly because you checked it recently.
Keep your unloaded gun pointed in a safe direction.
Practice keeping your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to fire.
Good luck,
Rich

My guns shoot better than I do.

I've stayed with the same basic platforms over the years. I have multiples/shoot the same things I have forever. Redundency I know , I just believe in it.
I will always learn, always push and strive. Targets get hit, birds fall, plates hit ground, game dies. I'm not able to shoot right now as I once did, I do dry fire, draw, mount and swing shotguns.
My gunsmith keeps me on my toes with various scenieros.
The day I ever think I've arrived, is the day I'll probably die...I just keep that in mind.
