Thanks, Jelly. That's good stuff!
(I have had some formal training, in Hawaii, where I return summers on vaction from work -- and where my guns are -- in defensive handgun, three days worth, the last day being for an out-of-state Utah CCW permit. But since I spend most of the year in Japan, don't get to shoot near as much as I'd like. "Near as much as I'd like" is a euphemism for "hardly ever." Compared with the fellows on this thread, like yourself, I am a genuine novice. Now I do read a mean book tho, so I can occasionally pontificate on the internet on something relatively obscure about guns.

Thanks for the posts!
