How good a shot are you with your revolver--any of them?
Have you been evaluated?
If not then evaluate yourself with this simple test which is a good indicator.
****************************************************
wadcutters are as good as any for this exercise
Your target is a black sheet of poster paper .
On and in the center of it 'attach' a bright industrial orange 2" circle which you have cut from a sheet of that colored poster paper.
Set up the target so the center of it is level with the center of your body.
Wait until dark.
7yd line
hold your revolver at your side as if you had just gotten out of bed to investigate a in -your- house disturbance.
Hold your flashlight in the other hand with it turned off--at first.
Extend your flashlight 'hand' all the way out. (If you are fortunate enough to have lived long enough to get to this point then don't hold the light in close to your body because when you receive fire the shooter will be shooting at the light)---that is not theory and when you conduct LEO insertions you will be wearing a bullet proof vest and thusly your chances of survival will be somewhat improved. If you choose to shoot for 'center of mass' then figure out--now--how you can defeat the ones the criminals wear!
Turn your light on and fire a single shot as quickly as you can at the center.
Do that single shot at a time until you have fired 50 rounds.
How many did you put in the 2"?
How many can you put in the 2" without using your sights to aim?
**************************************************
It will do no one any good but you -or your family- to master your revolver.
Have you ever began at the 'starting point'--which is the 7 yd line--and fired 100,000 rounds before you ventured to other stations of the course?
I did my first 100,000 in 40 days.
Why not begin yours?
You cannot learn -much less master-your revovler at some high dollar 'training course' or even a basic military or LEO school.
There is no substitute for proficiency and that only comes after many,many months of practice.
