Beware the Man w/ One Gun

[content]

Hello friends and neighbors // I take this two ways.

Beware of the man with one gun because: he knows it well.
OR
Beware of the man with one gun because: he never shoots it, does not obey the four rules and is a danger to everyone around him, especially when using a different gun.

The more firearms I learn to use efficiently the better I like it.
This does not stop me from trying to become more proficient with my Carry/SD/HD/Hunting firearms.

-----
The most commomly asked question when I let someone shoot a revolver, after I have gone over everything I thought necessary, has been "where is the safety?"

Lots of folks apparently only shoot semiautos now,,be careful taking someones knowledge for granted. (Like my lack of knowledge with some of the old Milsurps I've gotten recently)

---
A third take on this has been pointed out to me.

Beware of the man with one gun: When it breaks or he runs out of ammo, he will be wanting one of yours.

The way it has been explained to me is this: Proficiency with a firearm is just like proficiency with any other mechanical process... it is all about the number of repetitions with it. And not just any repetitions, but meticulously executed CORRECT repetitions with heavy self criticism. That's why pros in any sport most likely started at a very young age, like how Tiger Woods was swinging a golf club in his dad's basement since he could hold one. It takes so many hundreds of thousands of reps to become truly world-class at something, that it is hard for an adult to catch up, starting later in life.

So it is not so much concentrating on one firearm that makes one proficient... it is putting in the trigger time it takes to reach proficiency. It is just more likely that the man with only one devotes more of his time to mastering it than the man who owns and shoots many.

One gun or more..........if your(anybody) a lousy shot from the get go, looks like numbers aren`t your problem.
