Ya know, every gun is a law unto itself. Whenever I buy one, I can just about guarantee that it will be a process of 1-3 years figuring out what loads it likes, doing any mods I think it needs, and most importantly me getting used to it. Even when I have multiples of the same type of gun. For example, I have three Taurus 856's. Two snubnose, one with a 3" tube. On my oldest one, I can keep them all on a playing card pretty easily at 15 yards with a variety of loads. My newest one, I really have to concentrate to do that. Right now, the usual pulling way left or drooping the muzzle is going on and I'm all over the place with it. It'll get there eventually, probably after I burn through much dough in reloading components and waste many many hours that I could be doing other things. Oh well.
I consider my relationship with guns and shooting to be about like a guy who loves golf, and spends much money and time on it, but will realistically never be any better than a 20 handicap. And that's ok, I guess.
