Pistol reloads are one thing that I believe I have learned to perform pretty quickly, whether it's an emergency (slide lock) or tactical reload. Even with revolvers and speedloaders I'm not half bad, and I'm left-handed which puts me at disadvantage to begin with.

So, that all raises a question, in the context of your own experience and perspective... What is "enough" training?

There's no real way to quantify what constitutes "enough" training. You can do everything right and still die. Hell, even military Tier 1 operators get killed sometimes, and it probably isn't due to a lack of training.

If you manage to survive a gunfight unscathed, I'd say you had enough training.

That all said, even at my level of proficiency, I think I'm ahead of 98% of the rest of the nation's gun owners.

I shoot with a number of Master-level shooters, but I never feel insecure simply because I'm only at the Expert level. I like to remind those guys that I'm never going to have to beat them in a gunfight; I only have to be better than the bad guy I'm up against.
