    Default What do the ladies in your life shoot

    We're talking firearms people!

    The wife is getting more interested in guns the more current events progress. I've read all the articles about ladies and getting them interested with the right firearms . Finally got the wife and all the kids out shooting as one family unit (which I've been trying to do for 5 yrs now). Brought all modern arms for an operational instruction and test fire. Went pretty well; after session was over the wife actually said "we should probably do this every month." What a dream come true.

    I have the rifle angle covered but my question is more "what handguns do your gals shoot?"

    Paper.

    She's used just about everything I have here and she don't have a problem with any of it (including 300wm) but she's partial to 9x19.

    I think sometimes my wife would like to shoot me.

    Seriously, I tried getting her into shooting but it is just not her thing. She did the best with a Ruger GP100 when I loaded it with 38's. She didn't like it with 357's though. She actually shot it better than the couple of rim-fire handguns I had her shoot (a Browning Buckmark and a Taurus revolver). Never got around to letting her shoot any of my auto pistols. Like I said, she just didn't get into it. Wasn't her thing.

    CZ 75 P07 in .40. She adores that thing. Next up she wants a 12ga shotgun.

    We've put on several women only classes and it seems like the M&P 9mm is always the most popular. Its what my wife and daughters also seem to like to shoot the most. Though go figure my 13 year old prefers the 1911.

    My fiance shoots my XD9SC for now. She's shot a .38 revolver, 30-06, a 12ga, a 20ga, a .45, a Glock 19, an AK47, and a couple .22 pisols. She likes the .22's the most. I have to do some research on a smaller pistol, good for ccw (she wants to get her CHP sometime in the future), but something a bit stronger than a .22. I'm thinking I might get her a Sig P238 eventually. She liked the 20ga shotgun better than the 12ga, so I'm leaning on getting a 20ga for home defense instead of the 12ga.

    XD9 tactical. We used to shoot together at the steel challenge weekly matches. She never got very good, but she's plenty good enough at inside-the-home distances to take care of herself.

    My wife shoots her mouth off at least twice daily (www.instantrimshot.com). As far as weapons she has shot everything, shotguns, rifles and pistols from my little S&W 422 all the way up to the S&W 500. She was not a fan of the 500

    She shoots everything I own and even wants me to get a RR, RDIAS or LL for some full auto goodness.
