To each his own.

My 1934 is more like 1.06" wide and it has never failed to go bang in
thousands of rounds fired over the 50 years I have had it

As I said earlier, it fits my hand well and I can point it very
instinctively without really aiming.
That is important in low light or when things are happening very fast.

Ahh, but can you hit a two liter at 15 yards with that .380? :)

I seldom train at 15 yards with a pistol but at 7 yards I will hit 5
in 5 seconds just about every time.
When I was shooting a lot I would bet you I could hit 5 beer cans in 5
seconds and then double or nothing in 4 seconds.
I was shooting almost every day tho since I had the range in the
house.

Your gift should arrive soon. It'll let you shoot two liters at any
distance you can without making a mess or attracting ants.

I mostly practice at 25 yards with handguns. My long distance vision is
good, my close in vision sucks without glasses, and holding out a pistol
so I can focus on the sights and also the target for some reason seeks
to work for me at that distance. With my one lens eyeglasses (reading
lens on the right eye), I do pretty well with "iron sights" at most
distances.

I suppose it started shooting in the house where 7 yards was easy.
More than 40 feet required being in the garage and shooting through 2
doorways ;-)

If "defense" is an issue, you won't be more than 21 feet away anyway.

Why in the world would he be doing self defense drills at 75 feet? It
doesn't make sense.

That is just target shooting at that point. I know hunters who train
at those kind of distances and even out to 50 or 75 yards. It will be
a large bore pistol tho.
The military typically shoots at 25 yards (I assume meters these days)

Gosh, that's right...it's target shooting. I didn't say or imply "self
defense drills" had anything to do with it.
