I am new to shooting hand guns but am able to get pretty good groupings as a new shooter (about 1 1/2 inches with M&P 22LR at 3 yards, 3 inches at 7 yards with M&P .9mm, .40 and .45. Nice to have a one price shoots all gun library at the range.)

Here is my idea: I was thinking that training with the .22LR so that the muscle memory is really set firmly might prevent the bad habit of anticipating the recoil on larger caliber weapons (Which I noticed that I had begun to do shooting the .9mm, .40 and .45).

Am I crazy or would this actually help avoid some bad habits?
