I think familiarity is extremely important. Someone touched on it earlier. Under stress the mind and body do funny things. I still make mistakes at classes. I've grabbed for a pistol mag to reload an AR and just recently scanned while having my pistol extended toward the target instead of bringing it to the high ready. I spend a decent amount of time on the range and in classes. It's extremely embarrassing. My point is you want to be familiar to the point you don't have to think. Especially if you're "special" like me.
