Make sure you get plenty of range time in. Nothing beats muscle memory

I plan on it. First thing is taking them in to get cleaned and inspected by a gun smith. Since 3 of the 4 I have were bought privately. Then either going to an indoor range, or if the weather stops raining for a minute then heading to the place I normally shoot and see how they perform. I do have experience shooting, but haven't owned my own firearm for a few years.
