I just watched her drill a silhouette in the chest with a 22 several times at about 15 feet. The bangs are louder now so I'm thinking they switched to the 9mm.
My friend Todd is teaching her. I'm in the house staying the hell out of the way.
Stance looked good. She's definitely not scared. Good stuff.
This was prompted by the CT shooting. Some folks call for gun bans. Other folks take responsibility for their own safety.
Good idea.
Let her try a 1911. My wife tried all of the above mentioned guns, plus glocks, revos, Khars, and about 5-6 others. It was only when she shot the 1911 that she said, "I like that one. I want to buy one of those." She shoot my SW1911 .45ACP fine, and likes her OACP sized 1911 in 9mm a whole lot.
Why did she go 1911? All the usual common-sensical ones: it fit her hand better, she could reach the trigger easy, she shot smaller groups with it, less subjective recoil (due to the fitting issue, I bet). My wife is 5' nothing and breaks 100lbs only when you fill her pockets with rocks.
