What’s the best way to get proficient with pocket guns? Figured out I suck with my LCP, lol.
I still remember watching hickok 45 reviewing the little kahr 380 when i was interested in it many years ago. He hit the 80 yrd gong with it and i thought that looks easy...i was wrong!

Under a stressful situation your motor skills deteriorate greatly. What someone can do a 10 yards under ideal conditions of the range is likely representative of what someone is capable of at 3 yards under stress in less than ideal conditions.As long as you can stick out your arm, and the rounds hit in an area the size of a torso at 7 yards or less, you are doing just fine.
Anything farther away becomes vastly more difficult to justify (as legitimate self defense), and opportunities to use the sights at distances shorter than about 7 yards are few and far between.

Certain guns are just difficult to shoot.
You have to be a very good shooter to shoot a small gun with a crappy trigger well. There's no secret or tips other than "have a great grip and trigger press", lol.
It takes 3 minutes just to get the little bugger out of my hands, might as well practice! 🤣Also, don't forget to spend just 3 minutes a day drawing and presenting the LCP. It's amazing what can be learned in these 3 minutes.
