hi!
i'm new to this forum! i'm monika, i've been shooting fairly regularly for the last three years and owned a glock 19 since then. however, three weeks ago i went out and bought a benelli, 12g pistol grip pump action as i had desperately been coveting a shotgun! i was going to get the mossberg but found it was too LONG for me! (ha, imagine that!) so the benelli fit better and wasn't that much more in price. i could get a collapsable stock but honestly i'd rather learn to use it as is.
anyway, my concern is i feel really awkward right now with loading and unloading it when i'm at the range. before purchasing, i had never used a shotgun before so it was my first experience with one. now, i remember when i bought my glock it took me a few months to get 100% comfortable with it and now it's like an extension of my hand. does this come with practice? i feel awkward and clumsy with it! i love it and certainly don't regret purchasing it! i just haven't had a lot of time to make it out to the range as i'm a grad student and been working at my internship and trying to write a huge research paper so i can graduate.
has anyone else had a similar experience with a shotgun or any other type of gun?
thanks!
