A good learning experience for home invader wanna-be's who want
to teach
other posters here "a lesson," Ingersoll?
You, of course, fantasize about people invading your home so
that you
can shoot them. Should your dream materialize, you would likely
spend
the rest of your miserable life at Graybar Hotel.
Well, like you said. If he ever shoots anybody I will be the
first one
at the prosecutors office with his threats and dreams and
ambitions to
shoot a perceived home invader...
I sure do hope he comes to his senses before he hurts someone.
Well, he dry fires in the house and is scared to death to walk
outside.
So unfortunately it will probably be he or his sister/landlord that
gets
shot...

You're really a moron, Ingersoll. Proper handgun handling is an art and
it requires practice, practice, practice. Part of that practice is
handling, disassembling, and dry firing your semi-auto pistol and
learning how to quickly and safely removed stove-piped rounds,
misfires,
et cetera, which you can do with non-firing practice/dummy rounds. I
spend several hours a week doing that, indoors, in the house, and
during
my once-a-week/every other week visits to the firing range.

The rest of your post is just more of your idiotic nonsense.

You cannot become proficient at shooting by going to the range once a
week or once every other week.

Dry firing, even into snap caps, is not a substitute to firing actual
rounds.


There are many aspects to "proficiency" with semi-auto pistols.

I shoot well enough for my purposes and for the sorts of competitions
I enter. At 25 yards, I can put 10 rounds into a circle about the size
of a softball with my 9 mm and .45 CZ's. With my revolvers, the circle
is about the size of a honeydew melon. At closer distances, the circle
is smaller. I'm sure that is far better than you shot with a sidearm
when you were a marine. I'm pretty good with shotguns and my .22 LR
rifle. I have very little experience with larger caliber rifles.

The "handling" practice I do has prepared me to quickly clear problems
with firearm mechanisms or faulty rounds.

I think I'm proficient enough with firearms. Sport shooting is only a
part-time hobby for me.



I hope so. Those are lousy groups for 75 feet.
