Took my Wife to a handgun safety class yesterday. It was her first time shooting a pistol. [View all]

At the end of the class, she shot a Glock 19 and a Springfield XD. I was VERY afraid that after the first time it went off she'd turn and say she didn't like the way it kicked. Boy, was I wrong...

3 targets at 25 feet, 10 rounds each. Every round inside the 7 ring. I'd say that's not bad for a woman in her early 60s who's never fired a pistol before. The smile on her face was worth a million bucks.

She prefers the Springfield. The search begins...
