... and that woman is a crack shot!
My wife has taken an interest in shooting finally... recognizing she's a more likely target than I am and we're not always together for me to protect her. So we went to the range tonight with a buddy of mine, and between the two of us we had a Buckmark .22 , a Beretta 70S .380, a Glock 17, a S&W 19 .357, a MAC 10 9mm, Taurus PT145... I think a few others but that covers what I shot tonight.
Wife started with the .22 of course... right off the bat she was grouping 2" at 7 yards, which I think is just awesome for a first time handgun shooter. She moved up to the .380 and the .38 special rounds, but found herself going back to the .22 after that pretty quickly. She didn't touch on the .357 or the .45 just yet.. baby steps. I think for most people, the more exposure you get the easier it is to shoot the bigger calibers. I'd like to see her eventually settle in on a j frame sized .38. We'll see what happens there.
I did have the chance chatting with one of the guys at the range to shoot his new Kel-tec PF9. That little bastard HURT to shoot! It's gotta be great as a carry gun... it was accurate and wow is it thin... but for a range plinker, no thanks.
Decided I really hate the Heinie straight 8 sights on my Taurus... seriously just can't stand em. I hope I can find something that'll put the bullet where I think I'm trying to drive it.
Last but not least today, my crossbreed supertuck showed up for my Taurus PT145! Wow is it comfortable! I adjusted the cant perfectly, and it hides perfectly well on my frame... just excellence all around.
