Pistols and revolvers can be amazingly accurate. It just takes getting used to them. Also helps to be a good shot.
I didn’t say I wasn’t a good shot with a pistol, or that I haven’t mastered quick draw and tactical shooting drills. I have, it’s fun, it’s just not a skill I’ve found a niche for, or have the same intuition for as others. My best friend loves his pistols, and has a niche for them in his personal survival strategy— I understand, just don’t share the love. A lifetime of martial arts, sword and knife training kind of make that my preference for very close up work. At longer ranges, I want to be prone, behind cover so I don’t want a pistol. For indoors, room clearing drills, or closer ranged engagements shotgun or PTR work for me.
