Recently. Just shot 1911 and the S&W 640.
If I could go back to 2007 and tell me that my 1911 work would improve, but that the double action would fall off. Diagnosis? Need more 640 practice.
Now, with a lot of things, practicing with one can make you better at the other. Like shooting a .44 magnum then stepping back to a regular old .38 can sometimes make you feel less flinchy. You know what I'm saying? Or, the practicing with one can make you worse than with other.
I have decided which would most likely happen to me... Sure, all range time is useful. If I could take a pill that added another 100,000 rounds of experience, that'd be great and a big help. Or take a job where I am required to shoot 8 at the range 8 hours a day for a buncha months. You can help but get stronger wrists and grip doing that, for instance. End up like Jerry Miculek. But that's not going to happen. My time in a range is sorta set at a lowish bar. So the question is, will practicing more with the 640 make my 1911 improvements slough off? Or vicey-versi.
Either way, I think Ima need to buy more practice ammo now, in both calibers. Running a little low on the practice stuff. Maybe an inventory is in order.
All Right, That's Enough

I don't shoot my 442 as much as I should. But it has hard grips on it (better to draw from a pocket) and after fifteen rounds, it hurts like hell.
Or it did, until I loaded up a box of "mouse phart" loads. Because factory loaded wadcutters are waay too costly for my blood.
If you don't reload, there is always dry-firing.
