Is the caliber that you practice shoot with the same as your main self defense guns or do yoy practice aka plink with a lower caliber to focus on accuracy?


Personally I like to practice with the same caliber that I'm going to defend myself with. I dont see the point of training with a 22 or a 380 when my main carry piece is a 9mm. Some people dont agree

practice with whatever u plan on using..

Both. 22 is great in teaching you not to be scared when pulling the trigger. Of course it's best train with what you plan on using too though.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

practice with the 9 unless you plan on buying or using the 22 or 380

for one person, there's no point then owning more than three guns, tho they all shouldn't be pistols imo

I started off practicing with a 22 as a teen so I thought all hand guns felt like that. When I first shot a 357 revolver it almost tool my hand off. I wasnt ready

If you're just practicing for self defense purposes, going with 22 is kinda pointless. If it's for sport and accuracy training, I find 22 to very a valuable tool. I don't have any ranges longer than 100 yards near me, so 22 is actually my favorite caliber to shoot out of all the ones I own

 

[I'm Blackman]

At the range I alternate all of my toys for fun...but 70 percent of my shooting is with my carry weapon.

I love the 22. for long gun only. My 22. Rifle is the most accurate long range gun I own and I trust it in a self defense situation if distance shooting is required.

I practice with what I use.

 

[klientel]

For self defense I have a sub compact 9mm in my bed room and another that i sometimes carry on me. I think I’ve put maybe 10 rounds through them combined. I don’t see the point.

At the range I only shoot .45 ACP, specifically 1911s.

No point in getting a ton of range time in with a gun I don’t like shooting. I can shoot well enough to defend myself with any gun. If I’m gonna to waste money at the range it might as well be enjoyable.

Yeah, my 22 is a long gun and probably the most accurate one i own too. The only pistol i own is a compact 45, but in a home defense situation I'm grabbing my short shotty. Pistols are strictly last resort side arms used in the meantime to get you to a longer barreled something imo.

What kind of shotty you got

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

You gotta diversify them shyts. Never know when shyt'll go down and what's available.





Hell I bring my pocket knife to the range sometimes
