It is another to engage an armed suspect. Particularly if he is firing at you. Now... back to Boxsters!!!!

Add a little, agreed train with it. Make time to fire 18 to 24 rounds every month. I shot for a Law Enforcement Agency for 8 years way back in the 70's and 80's....we shot 2 to 4 hundred rounds per week just in practice and then a match every weekend. Use the gun enough that you never feel encumbered with it in your hand.

I shoot 100 pistol rounds a week, easy. Typically closer to 200. That includes .357 mag SA shooting as well.

Then it's about 50 for each rifle, usually 2-3.

Then 2 rounds (50) trap. That's a Saturday morning. Try to go every week.
