| I always recomend trying out as many calabers as you can..then if possible the modles your chooseing from..some ranges rent guns..some dont....but the fit of the pistol is important as is how much/little recoil you want/can handle... As for the wife...thats a long process in my case...I started her off with a 22 then fily (2 yrs) later got her to a 32acp..then a 380..38 and now into a 9mm... she progressed in calabers pretty quickly from the 32 to the 9mm..(occasionaly 45 colt in my Super Redhawk). Big thing with her was the noise (Out door is better if possible) as she associated noise with recoil and was afriad of bigger guns than the 22....For HER 9mm I let her pick it out...women dont like beiing forced to use something they dont like...granted it means not freaking out when she goes..Oh that ones cute but well worth the time. Funny thing is my 12 yr old daughter thinks Glocks and HK pistols are cute....got to get her some glasses... |
