"Pistols are for fighting your way to your rifle" is often said,
"Only fools put their rifle down" is often the answer...
There are a number of folks I know that I am glad do not own a firearm of any kind. And the folks I know who do, train regularly, be it rifle or pistol.
And to get back to the topic, I have a defarbed Enfield coming from Lodgewood that I ordered before Christmas. I can hardly wait to get it out to the range and put some of the info from this thread into practical, hands on knowledge. Thanks to all of you... I'm fairly proficient with modern rifles, but this will be my first shootable Civil War rifle.
