not really preparing for the day, just the handgun is for defense, no reason to sit on a bench and shoot at 50 yards when I will have no bench to sit on when I need to use the gun. I have done a good amount of holstering, firing, reholstering and just, even some dropping the mag out putting a new on in and firing, though with the glock 17 17 rounds should do it, though with the small bullet that is like 8 1/2 45s lol.
