My 21 yo daughter was never interested in guns. I finally got her to go today to the range. I think she had a pretty good time. I started her out with my .22 Beretta auto. She shot a couple mags. Next I moved her up to the S&W 66 shooting light .38 loads. She ended up shooting a whole box through it. She passed on the Glock .40 though (I had to shoot one round through each before she would shoot it so she could get an idea of the recoil). She did try the SA 1911a1 .45. Unfortunately it bit her on the thumb so that one was done. She now seems interested in getting her a pistol to carry. She liked the looks of a pink Walther .22. Not sure she would carry it as it is pretty long. I figure after a couple more trips to the range we will see what she wants Daddy to buy for her. I certainly was glad she finally has seen the light and taken an interest.
