    Sorry, You'd lose that bet, only have a postage stamp for a yard, about 6 yards by 2, if I want to shoot further I have to go to the range. Five yards is too close to miss with that pistol and I prefer a challenge. I did like shooting proper handguns, the smell and feel of them brought something extra to the experience, but I can live without the cost.

    Those grips sound great.

    Now I have thoughts of an anatomical match-type grip on my future-tuned .22 Premier!

    What a .22 or .32 trainer that would be ... not that we're allowed r/f or c/f pistols of course

    Ever try shooting indoors, Tony?

    I shoot both 6 Yard and 10 meter comps in my upstairs hallway.

    For 6 Yards I stand in front of my bed. For 10 meters, I stand behind it.

    I've thought about it Jim.

    I might just be able to manage 10 metres if I sit on the floor by the front door, and shoot up the stairs at the ceiling in the back bedroom.
