Nice purchase, Borla. Yeah-yeah, a 18" cylinder bore barrel may be in order for scattergun fun, cheap practice, and "home defense."

But... blegch... thumbhole stocks drive me bonkers. They're (usually) uglier'n'hell and often a product/result of crap legislation.

I'm in the same school of thought as Slims. Dry fire practice is absolutely crucial to becoming comfortable with a firearm... shoulder position, posture, trigger, loading/unloading, etc. Cuddle-time between your body and the firearm are the only way to get all Jedi Master We-Are-One with it.

Two styles of learning: endless repetition or blunt force trauma. Dry firing covers the first and I suppose beating the shit outta your shoulder may lend to the second (if you're a real weirdo). Guns are like riding a bike... most anybody can do it, but skill and safety require the investment of time and energy.
