Don't take this the wrong way -- but too many of the Pistol
competition types are in it for the game first.

That's fine and perfectly acceptable use of firearms (there are many!)
but the Military/LE approach drills in a "weapon" mindset, which in
the long run should result in a greater level of respect.

Are there exceptions? Absolutely! But I've found the guys on the range
that are prior service types (Army and marines particularly) have a
more careful, deliberate approach, while the civilian shooters --
though accomplished -- seem a bit more cavalier.
