Every time anyone says to me something about "I use my handgun for shooting targets, it has nothing to do with anything else", I ask them what kind of a gun it is?
If it's not a gun designed for target shooting, I call BS.
Sports pistols don't look that much like the stuff you see in movies. In other words, they don't look as cool, and don't come with the same status value. But they are very good for shooting targets.
People buy handguns mostly because handguns are "cool".
I'm all for the idea that all guns should by law be painted in bright colours, preferably with rainbows, unicorns and flowers. That would propably cut down gun ownership radically.
