johnnyblues,
Your new handgun is as others have mentioned, a well engineered bit of German merchandise.
And, you are definitely on the right track by enrolling in proper handgun training.
Presuming you wanted this weapon primarily as a self defense tool, in the terrible event that one day you are confronted by some violent criminal/s, your proficiency with it will make all the difference.
I know the dangers of setting our life’s cadence according to Hollywood movies.
Nonetheless, the Actor, Gene Hackman in character as “Little Bill”, during the jailhouse scene of the Clint Eastwood movie “The Unforgiven”, delivers an excellent narrative on how to survive a close range / armed confrontation.
A very fine speech indeed.
I wish that scene/speech was available back when I was teaching firearms and tactics to my fellow Police Officers (I retired much before the movie was available).
I surely would have played that scene in the classroom portion of my otherwise boring sessions.
My parting shot as it were:
The most dangerous animal on earth walks upright on its hind legs.
He has virtually no limit, except how you deal with him, as to his resourcefulness and willingness to kill you.
Stay on that front sight,
Paul.
