Yeah, it's safe to say that I practice a lot less with the pistols.
However, I bet I still practice more than most guys; " a lot less" is a
relative term here. I shoot my rifles a LOT. I shoot my handguns often.
WIth my rifles I'm dialing in custom handloads with custom match-grade
barrels, etc, so it's a labor of love and precision. Pistols are about
utility to me.

Mostly with my carry gun I practice point and shoot stuff at 10, 15, 20 feet
or so. Get it out quickly and hit the target, the target being a big thing.
I do some target shooting with my Kimber 1911, and I shoot a few hundred
rounds through my 44 Magnum S&W revolver just to remind myself how much fun
it isn't! :-)

I probably average around 1500 rounds a year of pistol shooting... much more
if you count .22 RF.
