I’ve done it all since I started. 1911s, Glocks, wheel guns, most every thing in between.

So much focus is spent by so many people on equipment instead of the important Stuff. I did it wrong too, so if I was starting over I’d want to do it right this time.

I’d pick a reliable gun. Insert whatever your favorite brand loyalty is here, I couldn’t care less.

I’d buy two of them, set up identically.

One would be my carry gun after reliability testing and confirming POA=POI for my carry ammo.

The other would be my training/competition gun, and I’d try to take 2-3 training classes a year and compete in USPSA/IDPA/something at least once a month, in addition to weekly dry fire and trying to make it to the range once a week if possible.

If I had done that when I started instead of playing the “what flavor of gun do I want to carry this month” game, I’d be lightyears ahead of where I am today in terms of ability to actually shoot what I carry well.
