I'm sure you already know this, but being a rifle shooter your whole life let me remind you that there are three crucial things you need to concentrate on to shoot a target handgun well:
1. Front Sight
2. Front Sight
3. Front Sight!
The rear sight is only there to give you a light-gap either side of the front sight.
If you are fitting optics or holographic sights just ignore the above!
I well remember not being able to hit sh!t with the first handgun I was required to use a lifetime ago, a Ruger .357 Security Six, until someone explained the sighting difference to me. I was trying to sight it like a rifle: hopeless! No longer remember who gave me that sage advice, but I am forever grateful.
French connection? None. Thread well-and-truly hijacked now!
Missed this post. I've beev0n shooting club handguns for maybe 8 years? I will still be doing so, using club 9mm ammo as my .38 Super ammo is too expensive.
I actually shoot reasonably well for boring target shooting, maybe. 480 to 490s out of 500. 10 shots at each 5, 7 15, 20 and 25 yards or metres of some such ranges. Really just competing against oneself. The longest range is getting a bit more blurry now. I shoot for fast accuracy. Accurate but as rapid fire as accurately possible. Sometimes use other stances, single hand, either, or double, hands reversed etc.
I am thinking the .22 RF next as ammo is easy. Join a Metal silhouette club and try for a 1911 .45 ACP in six months time. Maybe a Webley for the same 6 months after that.
