Things point, to where your brain knows to point them. Finger, gun, whatever. All the reasons for them not pointing where you point them, is simply the lack of experience with them, that your brain doesnt know where it should be pointing them.
Once you spend a little time with the few that are different ("most" are all pretty close), and your brain learns the gun, they all point where you point, and do so naturally.
Which is why its a very good reason, to shoot as many different types of guns as you can, and learn to shoot them well. That way, no matter what you might have to pick up and use, it will already be stored in the data banks. :thumb:
The only way to know if what you have works, is to shoot the snot out of it and prove it. Those that do, are the ones you can usually trust. Those will also be the ones you will likely shoot best, because you shoot them a lot.
Just buying any gun based on anything other than experience, is always going to be a crapshoot. While there are brands that have a great track record, and you probably could trust one out of the box, there are dogs in EVERY brand, so, until you prove otherwise, you wont know until you shoot it.
You also have to be at least a little realistic in what your choice is too. A pocket 380 or 32 is OK for a BUG, but its NOT realistic, for a primary gun. Unless of course, your only possibility of ever needing it, falls under the parameters that they excel at, which are very narrow in scope.
Then comes the part everyone tends to go quiet over and scatter when you ask. You do spend enough time in realistic practice, to be proficient with whatever you choose? Right?
The bestest gun in the world is about useless, if you are arent up to making it "the bestest". :thumb:
Im thinking if we started at the end here, and worked back, there would be a lot less bitching about stuff that doesnt matter, and probably different choices in guns as well.
