"Beware the man with one gun as if he knows how to use it".
I understand the thought, but never understood the mentality. If all youre good with is that "one gun", just what good are you really? If that special gun isnt present, and you need to work with whatever may become available, what then?
A stitch in time saves nine or a penny saved is a penny earned.
I think the best practical shooter is the guy that can pick up his dead enemy's gun and still manage to kill a bunch more with it.
+1. The older I get the more I am affected by C.R.S., so I just adore the K.I.S.S. theory.The older I get the more this makes sense to me. I'd rather pracitice with one gun and be as proficient as I can with it than spend my time practicing with and carrying several.
Being able to use most any gun well sounds pretty practical, AND tactical (tactically prepared), to me.
Thank you for reading and appreciating itLastly,
Im finding that as Im getting older and finding CRS as well as the physical symptoms creeping in, that I do much better with both, if I keep my brain and body as active as I can. Stagnation, in both respects tends to be very detrimental, and unfortunately, very "American". The longer you actually think and physically do, whatever it is you like, the longer you'll be able to continue to be able to do it.The older I get the more I am affected by C.R.S., so I just adore the K.I.S.S. theory.
It does, and its really not difficult to do, if youre of a mind to do it. Its not so much being an "expert" with all of them, as much as its being familiar with the gun, knowing what to do with it, and expect from it when you pick it up and shoot it, and not being intimidated or frustrated by it, because you dont know or understand it.To be able to use any gun WELL requires that you learn to shoot: handguns that are too large or too small for your hands, or chambered in more powerful calibers (.44mag, 10mm, etc.) than you are comfortable shooting.
Its only limited by you. If you arent willing to try, then you'll never know, and your the one that loses.It sounds like an unlikely scenario that would be difficult to train for.
Other than some extremes, hands really have nothing to do with any of this. Its whats between the ears thats usually the problem.You would have to have some magic hands to have the ability to shoot any handgun well.
There ya go. Some do understand.Beware ot the man with a sharp mind.
The rest is knowing the tools.
That is an assumption that will be very difficult to prove.The majority of people with only one gun, probably own an old rusty .38 or .25 jennings.
