You have a bond to those accurate hammer fired guns. I've moved from hammer fired (P07/P09/P01, etc) to striker fired (M&P 5" .40 and Shield Plus 9MM). Not because they are more accurate or reliable but they do feel good in my hands and parts are so easy to find/buy/install. The Shield Plus is a great shooting little pistol. For a good while I kept carrying my P07 when I was by myself and I'd carry the Shield Plus when I was with my wife. Only because her Equalizer uses the same mags as the Shield Plus. If my wife was still carrying her CZ75 Compact I'd be carrying my P01.
I know I'd enjoy trying some of the things you do but I probably never will. I do get a kick out of reading about it when you post about a range trip.
