Is that an FWB 65? Such a classic! I've always wanted one of those.I used an air pistol
I have friends who are retired police officers. They tell me the same thing. One friend was in a shoot out at a South Oak Cliff liquor store robbery. He said the bad guy burst out of the front door with his pistol pointed at him. My friend turned and fired striking the bad guy in the chest. My friend said he focused on the guy's muzzle which seemed as large as a train tunnel to him at the moment.Having personally known several LEO's that were involved in shootouts. Three things stand out.
1. They didn't know how many rounds they shot.
2. They never heard the sound.
3. They never felt the recoil.
Adrenaline blanks it is the best guess I have to allow you to concentrate on what is important.
Very much an aside, but both the wife and a friend had Bersas. They both moved on after multiple breakdowns. Have you put over 500 rounds through it?I have a .22 PPK and a .380 Bersa. Since the Bersa is PPK clone I can shoot a lot of cheap.22 rounds and it helps me improve my shooting with the Bersa. I usually take both to the range.

I have been a pistol shooter for about 30 years. After all of those years I have become a pretty good shot.
For some reason I have a hard time with a 22 pistol. My technique is the same, the results are not as good.
To off set the cost of shooting I either reload or buy in bulk on line when I find good ammo prices.

Nowadays if I wanted a non-gun to practice pure marksmanship with, I'd choose something suitable for indoors that required no pellets/no cleanup, like a laser pistol.

.22 has killed more people than any other handgun caliber...
