Default Knowing your measurements is a great start

I agree with Brian it is important that you know your measurements. You can alter shooters or buy collectors that are close to your dimensions. I have passed on many desirable guns because I knew I could not shoot them well as they would not fit. The collectors that fit are shooters as well. If you don't shoot them I believe they own you instead of the other way around.

Amen to that!
