The onliest one I couldn't hit anything wit was one of dem M&P Shields in .40 S&W...

Missed every round at 10 yards...  Guy that owned it couldn't hit the the broadside of the barn from the INSIDE!

My best friend growing up had a Llama 1911 .45 that I had to hold 6" of Kentucky windage to hit a coke can at ten yards.

I count myself as rather fortunate to not have had any "lemons" over the years.

That same kid, a few minutes later fired one round from that shield, hit the center of the X, proudly exclaimed "I'm Done, can't do better than that!" 

Packed up his gear and went home!  I think he's since sold that lil gun.. 

joined the Army reserves this past year.

This is one area where we will just have to "agree to disagree"....  ;)  ;D

IMHO, shooting skill has everything to do with it....whether a product of natural ability or just plain time shooting.....or a combination of both.

I do understand what you are saying and I agree that guns are different and fit everyone differently. But, a person who can shoot a 1911 really well, should be able to transition to a Glock with minimal adjustments. That is what I meant by "competent marksman."

I'll be 49 years old next month, and I've been shooting for 40 of those years....and I can look anyone in the eye and make the statement to the effect that I have never had anyone hand me a gun that I'm unfamiliar with, that inside five or so shots, that I couldn't hit with effectively and continuously. That includes anything from a NAA mini to a Barrett .50 BMG to an HK MP5.

Bob Munden hit a balloon at 200 yards with a NAA....so did Jerry Miculek.... I can't do that.... but, I can hit with it every time at the distance it was intended to be shoot at.

I can't hit a target much beyond arm's length with my NAA mini. I still haven't figured out what the sight picture should be with no rear sight. I don't shoot any of my guns often enough to be any good at it and probably haven't shot at all in 2 or 3 years. I'm too much of a couch potato.

Yeah, yeah...
But thanks to eight or so years on here (with some of you older farts influencing my innocent demeanor), my bite and my bark are pretty evenly matched....and I can growl really good too......from both ends.  :o

Don't blame me for the growing, I don't think I've ever posted one of my own recipes.   
But to renew the earlier disagreement, I would suggest that there is a uge difference bettween shootin a strange gun well, and shooting it well ENOUGH, and the difference is entirely due to comfort and familiarity.
 Jerry M. may be able to hit targets with an NAA but he isn't going to do it like with his Smith.

Or the first time! 

How many shots did Jerry or Bob shoot before they hit the target?

Someone on YouTube commented "Ancient religions and hokey superstitions are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."  ;D
