Slavek's mindless assertion aside, there are a lot of old myths still being promulgated. The old horseshit that "gun games will get you killed on the street" is mostly promoted by the uninformed. The games are tests of speed, accuracy, gun handling and problem solving not tactics. Those skills are handy when applied to good tactics. Go shoot an USPSA match and make only A zone hits and finish in the upper 30% if you want a challenge that is close to realistic. Slow is just slow, modern standards call for surgical shooting quickly and the cool guys can do it while moving quickly.
There is a whole new world of capabilites out there that are well proven in the real world. To fail or choose to recognize and take advantage of hard won knowledge is obtuse. No one is saying it is easy but it is fun to try to improve constantly, if you think you are good enough you probably aren't.

Very good post. Practice is important that is why members of special units practice all the time using big guns. They use guns to make a living, therefore, they need to be fast and accurate.
