Maybe, but "trial and error" does happen, and sometimes you just don't know that something isn't totally right until you've lived with it for a while.  It certainly happens with fowling pieces.  I was 100% totally absolutely positively sure that a rather expensive over/under fit me just right -- but could never connect with it well in the real world during pheasant season.  Happens with defensive sidearms too, I think.

So sometimes, the answer to "What gun should I buy?" is, "This one that I have for sale right now."   :)

Solution...BAM!  That JUST happened.
