Shooting your carry gun

[Target_in_sight]

I always say you gotta shoot the gun you carry. I need to trust it, know how it feels when it shoots, deals with recoil and works when it's not clean. I don't mean shooting a ton but I shoot a couple of mags every month to stay familiar with it. This helps me catch any feeding problems or worn parts early

Knowing your carry gun inside out is way smarter than just owning it

Regular practice with your carry gun builds trust. You get better at controlling recoil and spot problems early

You gotta know your gear inside and out if you're depending on it for self-defense, it makes you feel way more ready

I learned this early on, my first carry gun jammed once and practicing often changed my whole approach.

I am talking too much for a newbie but this is all good advice.

it depends on the gun.
A revolver like the LCR, I'm not going to pound rounds through it all day. The design itself lends to its reliability. A revolver is 5 or 6 for sure. It's just a matter of knowing where they'll go.
Autos ..... different story. These critters need to prove themselves.
