In all fairness, I have only seen one shooter better out the first couple of days..my wife.

Chris, you're doing great, just keep putting lead down range. Clean the pistol everytime. Don't use too much oil. Know every part like you know you're girlfriend.

I still think you're next pistol should be an "inexpensive", $200-250, 22lr pistol. It will help you learn with minimal cost. Never be intimidated by people firing .357mags while you are firing a .22lr. You know you are learning and you will be a better shot in the long run, than shooting a ton of expensive ammo.

Also, buy some snap caps. Use them in your house so you can see what your trigger pull is doing.
