Isn't it best to just train with the type of gun you intend to shoot? Some guns are not practical for all situations. Carrying a large .45 caliber may not be necessary on the city streets; however, out in the forest/wilderness, you can forget about a .38 saving your life against a charging angry, rabid or just adrenaline pumped bear or even a mountain lion. Beginner or expert, you should train for the situation you need.
I thought this was a good article.. I am not a gun expert, but have a basic interest. I, don't really use handguns, but I do plan on training soon.. I spend most time in forest, so I would like to start with larger handguns, myself, since fighting off wild animals, like grizzlies or large black bears usually would require it. Not that I go out of my way looking for this type of ordeal, but I have had a few run-ins! Of course, when Barack Hussein comes into power, the only wild animals you will have to really worry about hiding in the forest, are islamonazis.
