Just curious, do you guys shoot your hand guns and other personal protection a lot? Luckily I have the perfect place at the farm to have at it and can do a lot of shooting anytime I want.
The CG base also has the indoor range for hand guns.

All comes naturally. Got my first pistol when I was 12.

Yes, I have really gotten into CCW and training. Been shooting a bunch.

I was the RSO for our battalion (although I wasn't an officer) I guess you could say I was actually the Range Safety Petty Officer.
But I've seen dozens of guys qualify for expert marksman and then couldn't hit the enemy at 20 feet during an actual firefight.
It's extremely important to stay proficient with your regular sidearm, just keep in mind that you're likely to screw it up in a panic situation.

I am fortunate enough to shoot at home anytime I want. To answer your question, no not really.

Shoot religiously since I was a small kid.have also done a few service rifle and pistol matches would really like to get back into it

I'm not allowed to carry a pistol at work....but you best dang believe I do everywhere else I go along with a blade long enough to poke important stuff...I'm pretty fair on a weapon draw but don't consider myself an expert but I can kill you or hurt you bad inside 50ft...my ideal plan as far as training goes is to get mine and my families life out of harms way if at all possible an that means getting somewhere that actually stops bullets...draw my weapon and then fight back from a defensive standpoint until we can safely get away...same goes for myself if I'm alone..obviously in any of those situations you never know what you will do and you may not have the option to run,hide,fight..but...I'm not trying to win a firefight with a pistol...I need to get to my truck...WE REALLY NEED TO GET TO MY TRUCK...if I get to MY TRUCK...and the chit has hit the fan where ever I'm at...not only can we get away...but I'll kill you at 2-300yards with what I keep in there....if you are dumb enough to chase an armed good guy back to his truck...your about to die...I'm no expert...but I got a plan.

Have a neighbor that runs 1000 rounds most weeks. Bullets is spesive. I'm good

I practice offhand holds ,dry fire practice ,and magazine exchanges more than actual shooting. The first two are mostly for hunting and the last is for shtf since my deer guns and people guns are different. I don’t want to be caught fumbling with the safety or anything like that when it really matters.

I do dry fire weakhanded a bit. Had a smart fellow tell me that listening to that little voice in your head about sketchy things and having gun in hand was better than a .10 draw. I'm as guilty as anyone ballistically speaking but don't expect anything handfired to drop'em like Thor's hammer so keep drilling holes til threat subsides.

We had guys in Kodiak that were top notch competing in military shoots. I just like to shoot and didn't bother with it.
Check out Coast Guard Hitron videos. We got to train cross service and shoot big guns lol

I dont shoot my lil pocket clip 22mag enough...but a guy had some oxygen n setiline and put in a zip lock back the other day and said shoot it...20yrds and one big boom on 1st shot

Not enough. Hard to find places now days to burn powder. Little concerning also because in my experience a pistol that sits too long between firings is prone to jam. Keep em clean fellows

Always good to practice your draw & run drills including offhand if you have property or a range that will let you do it. If your strong hand is incapacitated, are you prepared to use your weak hand to draw and fire. If you have a malfunction or have to reload with one hand, are you prepared to do it? Muscle memory is important especially with a level 2 or 3 holster. When you’ve drilled it to where muscle memory kicks in, it is second nature. This helps especially when you have to qualify every 6 months.

I train with my job regularly, scheduled for training and qualifications in two weeks. Plus I live in the woods and can shoot whenever I want.

I shoot handguns twice a week in the range at work then rifles about once a week. Also test fire lots of handguns when selling them. If my buddy is at his lake house I go to his farm if not to the range at Guntersville.

The only time I've shot at you work place range guy ask if I was an instructor.

They're always hiring - everybody back there is part time.

It would be hard to walk through my yard and not step on some kind of hull.

If I shot competitive I might see a reason to shoot thousands of rounds of ammo but since I don't I see no reason to
