Hello,
I frequently fire 7.65 and 9x19mm pistols (ICPS)... There is a
great importance to the shape of the grip, and where the chink is. In
rifles, this is much less important (experience with the M-16, AK-47,
Galil and Uzi).
If a pistol has a bad grip (like my CZ 7.65), the shooting
accuracy deteriorates rapidly. I obtain much better results with the Sig
Sauer - a bigger pistol firing a more powerful round. Both pistols weigh
about the same - the CZ is old, while the Sig is a very modern pistol.
All the shhoting is done 'off the hip, unloaded pistols' - ICPS is
gung-ho! (:-) [smily in a helmet?]
The only pistol which I hated was the .357 Colt Pyton - couldn't
hit anything because the recoil is transferred directly to the hand,
without the benefit of the blowback, and throws one off target.
With lasers, things mught be quite different - there is no
recoil, so all you have to do is point the weapon correctly. I would say
that in _competition_ there would be no great a difference between the
laser pistol and the laser rifle. However, in combat, there would be a
marked difference - the rifle is longer, heavier and demands quite different
handling. Thus I hold that two skills are justified.

Q. How many Lithuanians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A. One! Only one! We can do! Err... maybe more... On the other hand, why
change the lightbulb, komrade Gorbachev, we are happy with the old one,
too. Thank you komrade Gorbachev...
:-) I had to hit back at that 'How many Russians,' no? (-:
