[QUOTE="cvixx, post: 2643614, member: 51421"] One last comment on this thread. I have been in several shootings resulting from my employment with LAPD. the last one, in1992, I was using a Smith 5904, instead of the Model 15, I had carried from 1961 to 1989. I firmly believe that had I been carrying my wheel gun I would have hit him in the 10 ring rather than his shoulder. Why?, because of practice. As a follow-on, I recently took my Model 15 out to shoot. I was horrible. I used to shoot Expert with that pistol, now I as crappy. Again, Why? Practice. I firmly believe that anyone who is not terrified of firearms can, with practice, train themselves to react to a sudden situation, as well as any cop. But, it takes a LOT of practice. Spend an hour a day in dryfiring. Buy rubber bullets for use with primers, or Redjets. Buy one of those laser systems that display where your “shots” hit. Whatever, practice. Go the range as often as you can. If you are worried about a lawsuit, there is insurance available. You can do it, but you have to want to. [/QUOTE]
