"Kahrs can't take the strain" of intense shooting classes

[Iggy]

Been in four serious social encounters, in each case I only needed one round. I ain't askeered to carry a gun that holds 7 or 8 rounds.

[Bawanna]

Somehow I don't picture you skeered of much of anything cept maybe Itchy and that's completely understandable.
Heard she's a rough customer when riled.

[Iggy]

LOL, Yup you got her pegged and that's a fact.

To the OP. That statement is NOT TRUE. I routinely took my Kahr P40 to combat class. After all, I train with what I carry most...

Bingo! Even if the instructor from the OP were correct, it would be foolish to carry something that doesn't work for you just because it wasn't suited for some tacticool class marathon. And as knkali says, it's wise to train with what you carry (if you can).

[CJB]

The person carrying, and the weapon he is carrying, must operate as one cohesive unit in a time of crisis.

Training with your .22 Ruger and carrying the .45 Kahr for protection is foolish several times over.

Train with, or at least, practice to the point of total familiarity with, the weapon you choose to carry.

The Marine's got it right with their creed, paraphrased for the contextual situation at hand:

This is my handgun. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My handgun is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My handgun, without me, is useless. Without my handgun, I am useless. I must fire my handgun true. I must shoot straighter than my assailant who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My handgun and I know that what counts in an attack is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My handgun is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my handgun clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My handgun and I are the defenders of my country, my family and me. We are the masters of our assailants. We are the saviors of lives.
So be it, until victory is mine and there are no assailants, but peace!

My creed would be similar but no doub t if I ever tgried to write it for "effect" my grammar or lack of it would probalby have the Marines at my door the next day.
