So, when the Marine Corps handed me a 1911 and said qualify with this, I had to learn to shoot it well enough to earn an Expert badge. Now, they have the Beretta, after my time, and the grip angle is much different to me, I've owned and shot two models. My point is that we learn to shoot what we have in our hands, be it rifle, shotgun, pistol or slingshot. Preferences aside, I believe we can learn to shoot most anything we want. But, there was a Ruger Vaquero that I couldn't hit squat with, but that's another story.
