I do not subscribe to the notion of "Beware the man with one gun; he may know how to use it." Most people I know with only one gun are not proficient shooters and will never attend training. Enthusiasts tend to have multiple guns and most put in the time.
Furthermore, the whole single manual of arms idea as related to training is bunk. A shooter should be able to pick up any gun and shoot well with it. A person with experience with only one gun will likely have trouble with other guns under stress. I have watched good 1911 and Glock shooters fall apart when handed a SIG, Beretta or even a tuned revolver.
Trigger control is the most important aspect of handgun shooting and is the most difficult skill to master. I spend quite a bit of time working with different actions. My J-Frame is improving my shooting since I must be very careful with trigger control in order to group well with it. Do not become dependent upon one gun's trigger for good performance!
