Finally got some range time with my girl. I taught her proper stance and safety with my Mossberg 500 for sporting clays and with my SIG p226 9mm
I didnt want to start her out with the 500 even with field loads they do kick and even though she really wanted to try it she never did. Thats ok I wanted to try the handgun first and work up to it.
She put about 30 rounds through it then shut down. I guess I was making her nervous but at the same time she didnt like the recoil of the P226 which isnt bad at all.
She really likes watching me shoot trap so I was thinking about getting her an autoloader which are known for less recoil but I would like to get the handgun situation sorted first.
Any suggestions on a handgun? Shes 5 foot 6 maybe weighs 130 just to give you an idea on size.
My buddy offered me his 5.7 pistol to see if she likes that but thats all I need is for her to fall in love with an expensive pistol and the ammo that costs more!
I was looking at 380's but figured this would be the place to ask.
Thanks
