I practice my defense shooting from 5, 10, 15 and 20 feet. People can say a lot about averages, but when you are in a threatening situation, try asking the perp to stand at the average distance.
Plus try shooting with the butt of the pistol held close to your body, sort of firing from the hip, then try some shooting with the pistol parallel and close to your body.
These are the things that people should be trained in for self defense.
During the winter, I do these methods twice a month and during the summer, I practice 4 times a month, some times more. If you plan on using a variety of weapons, you should practice with all of them regularly.
If you want to budget the pistols life span, remember to include your safety and well being. The reason that I have S&W is that it has a life time warranty. At the rate I am shooting it, it may need to be worked on in 8 to 10 years.
