MORE TIME IS REQUIRED - So Very True

[Lil Dudey]

I typed up the below from the book Sixguns By Keith, Chapter II Selecting The Handgun first paragraph. I truly have taken this to heart!

MORE TIME IS REQUIRED to master the handgun than any other type of firearm. To become an expert sixgun shot, one must live with the gun. Only by constant use and practice can one acquire a thorough mastery of the shortgun. You must work and play with it, eat with it, sleep with it and shoot it every day¬¬----until it becomes part of you and you handle it surely and easily as you would your fork and knife at the table. Muscles and nerves must be trained for the job in hand.

Keith was seldom wrong. It DOES take more time, but that time spent can be near WONDERFUL!

A box of 22 LR a day does great things. Every day, rain or shine.

Great quote!

Great quote indeed, and so true! I know for my own use, I do much better to stick with one particular sixgun over a period of time, rather than playing with several different guns interchangeably. Sometimes owning a bunch of guns can be a detriment to your shooting......but life ain't worth living without a bunch of sixguns to fondle!

Living outside the city (or suburbs) sure has it rewards.
