when i first met my wife almost 4 years ago she wanted nothing to do with any kind of weapon. as time has gone on she decided she would shoot with me a couple of times (like she wouldnt really love it) and now she is hooked! she really loves my winchester m1 carbine. so lately she has been doing more research and decided she wants a hand gun of her own and wants to take a pistol coarse this summer. we have gone out a couple of times looking and i gave a few suggestions but she wasnt crazy about anything i liked so i just let her pick out and hold what she wanted. she got ahold of a smith and wesson body gaurd 38 special and fell in love with it. but i told her we coulnt afford it right now and we would look at the indy 1500. little did she know i went to mcgalliard guns and more today and put money down on one since i knew they were ordering some in this week. so she will be very excited when she gets it at the end of the week. now i just cant wait to get it so we can go shooting. it took a little time but i knew she would come around.
