Most of us probably don't get out no where as regular as we would like - that is very true of myself!
I have had from a young age had this sage advice given to me, "always use the right tool for the job at hand" - firearms are no different.
It might be a once in a lifetime that you need that specific 'tool'; but you'll be kicking yourself if you got rid of it because it wasn't supposedly used enough! Trust me on this, you never forgive yourself for cocking up as you may not need it now, but for your kids or grandkids yes you will!
