Freed prisoner
I went to Atterbury today with my dad and wife. We were shooting a 1911 in 45, an XD9SC and 4" XD9. She was very nervous, partially due to the enormous cannons being shot out there at the time. I figured during the Colts game it would be slow, but quite the contrary. Also, the pink Gander Mountain ear muffs I bought her ended up not being very good at suppression so she was put off by the noise. (I wore them after I realized how poor they were)
Fast forward 30 minutes and she was shooting the 9, but anticipating the recoil and hitting 16" low at 7y. I had her dry fire and she dipped the barrel big time when pulling the trigger. We need to do some training at home to get past that.
A nice couple next to us let her shoot a 22 pistol and she really enjoyed that. We went back to the tables and she said "let's go inside and buy a 22 now." I said, seriously? She said yes. She asked how much they were, and I said a few hundred. She stood and started walking towards the counter.
At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I realize it would be inappropriate to make love to her right there on the spot, even with the range officer not in sight. We went inside and there was a big line, they didn't have one to rent, and I told her it was 15min of paperwork to get one in our hands. I promised I'd research and pick one up this week (probably Walther p22).
At the end of the day I suggested a Ruger Mark III Hunter as it's so accurate. Her response was "But isn't that too big to carry for protection?"
Lights off, music on
