Most people would consider me a "serious shooter." I practice, I take classes, I teach classes, and I compete. While I focus on pistol, I do also shoot shotgun, "modern sporting rifle," and precision rifle (although I am fairly new to this discipline). 2015 was a light year for me, at about 5000 rounds. From that perspective, I can't see a use for this firearm. I would likely be better off if I invested in a reliable and accurate .22LR rifle and ammo rather than this.
