Dittos on Old Grump. Shoot as many pistols and revolvers as you can get your hand on.
When I select a pistol, I go through the following drill.
I get a proper grip on the pistol. I check and see if I can touch the trigger without effort, I make sure I can operate the safety, magazine release and the slide release easily. When I establish that I can function the pistol.
Next I check for point ability. The check is fairly simple. I grip the pistol assume a proper stance and align the sites. I then close my eyes and lower the piece. Without opening my eyes I bring the weapon to its firing position. I open my eyes and determine if the are still aligned. If the sites are aligned after numerous attempts then I will consider purchasing the pistol.
As an example the Ruger Redhawk all ways points low and to the left for me. That is why I will not purchase one of these fine pistols for my use.
Each person is different and must determine what works for him or her.
