The winner was always an old sargent who took his time and shot down
one per round, with a 2" revolver.

I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.

One of my favorite gun technique books suggests taking only 6 rounds to the
range, no matter what kind of handgun you're shooting. Good idea.

All my kids were trained that way. In fact, when my youngest went to
the Academy in SC, he noticed that the more bullets they were issues,
the more the used them.

He took his time, minimum shots and did well.

It's the revolver training.

I have a 9mm Glock, but I never carry it unless I'm in the woods. For
just carrying purposes, it's a .357 mag on a .38 frame.

Don't you mean that the other way around? My Highway Patrolman shoots .38's
but is a .357 magnum frame (and shoots them!).
