Well, you don't use a screwdriver to drive a nail. I'm a serious believer in the right tool for the task.
With a pistol I seriously believe in the second shot. I want to be very close with the first shot but want the second to be 10 ring. With a rifle it's all first shot-fact of the matter is, when hunting deer or elk, there is no second shot. Get it right the first time.
With a shotgun it's a series of first shots. I've gotten a few doubles on ducks and I have seen a couple of triples.
I have a lady friend that is just nasty with a .22winmag pistol. I certainly wouldn't want to be caught creeping around her place. For me, the big calibers are giving the shooter 'miss room'. I had a .44 Mag in my young days. I got over that pretty early :)
I have always been comfortable in boots. The best of them have been custom built and I wore them all day every day. These boots are the closest I've had to the customs, and made for the desert. The right tool for the job, it seems.
You're right, that second shot, the double tap, is important with a handgun, especially the lighter calibres like 9mm. Being able to back up quickly and accurately is the key.
I'm not so good with a shotgun, not bad, just better in long guns and handguns. I'd still not advise standing in front of me if I had a shotgun and the intent to use it though. I can hit stuff.
I hope you're well and you have a good weekend ahead.
I may or may not have a hallway gun in my bedroom. Pistol grip short barrel 12 ga. Nobody will come down my hallway.
Haha, I'm not surprised.
Well, they might...and will probably wish they hadn't!
