Over the past twenty years, I've gone from shooting pistol competition to rifle plinking and then back to pistol plinking.
The last two years I've barely shot my .45's at all.
I've read many posts here about shooting .22 auto's as a way of learning how to shoot the big calibers. Something along the lines of, "if you can shoot a .22 well, you'll do well with the others."
Two years or so ago, I was a good shot with my 1911's. Not great, but got compliments on my targets, even from some of the shooters that I really admire.
Our group is going to have a fund-raising banquet with a firearms auction, and there will likely be two Ruger MKII's in the auction.
Should I go back to "basic training" with the MKII's, or buy the handgun I really want and just get back to practicing with the 1911's?
(A bit of history: I had my first MKII probably around 1980 or so, and sold it soon after. There just wasn't enough excitement).
Sage advice much appreciated.
