If only it was that easy... :-(
I just don't have that good a steady hand with a revolver at 10 yards or more. Even with a fairly light trigger pull and the 4" barrel. I mean, it's not like I have Parkinsons, but I have maybe average hand steadiness with a handgun. I was just now trying to hold a laser pointer on a doorknob only 20 ft. away: There are reasons cops are taught to aim for center mass and take several shots... :-(
Now, let me brace my left arm / elbow on something - even my knee, and aim a rifle, even quickly -- that I can do respectably well. (Also see my next post.)

***If you can brace your arm on sumthin while shooting a rifle then you can do it while shooting a handgun as well.
That’s how I introduce newbies to handgun shooting. Almost every gunfight ends up with one or both participants hiding behind sumthin so ya might as well train that way. Instead of planting your feet and firing, get your muscle memory going towards some kind of cover, any cover, and use it as a stabilizer to hold the shot steady. See for yourself when you do that with the laser pointed at the door knob.
The next time you go to the range to shoot, time yourself with how long it takes to shoot all your rounds [from a magazine or revolver] and then measure the accuracy. Then time yourself from a point of stabilization and then measure the accuracy, measure the difference.
