Well I have been having my m44 for a couple few weeks and today I finally got a day with some time to go try it out.
Me and the wife went with my ruger 9mm... hers now, My charles daly 1911 45, and the m44.
My wifes first time shooting a hand gun, so im teaching her to aim the 9mm, maybe next time she will actually get it on the target but at least now she knows the feel and enjoyed it.
She shot one round of the 45 and it blew her away, didnt want anymore of that one lol.
Last but not least, the M44. I was as nervous as she was to shoot the 9mm, for me to shoot the m44. So I took a deap breath and WHAM! It was great!!! I shot about 20 rounds just to feel it out. It did shoot a little high and to the left like everyone was saying so next trip I guess I will be trying to sight it better as I like to shoot with the bayo in. I compensated to the right for my following shots and grouped pretty good for the rest of the rounds. My shoulder did ache a little when I left which is to be expected and I may be sore in the morning but hey, its worth it right??!!
Hooray for you for taking the wife! Isn't the M44 great! I love mine, but I still like the M91/30 a little more. My all time favorite is the M39. But hey! I don't have them all yet either! LOL.

When you get it all clean and shiny and shoot it and then clean it again you take it where no one can see and hug it good so it knows you love it !!just dont let anyone see cause they wouldnt understand , but we all do
