When i met my wife, she didn't like guns at all. She hated the fact I kept them after we married and charged me with getting rid of them. (ha!).
End of last year i was deployed to ERDC in Jacksonville for a forensic collection and she called me in a panic. It was late, and there was a stranger prowling our backyard. After that, I was both amazed and excited when she asked me to take her to the range. She figures she should at least learn to use them now that we have a little girl. I don't want her first experience to be negative or it might ruin it for her. I have a Makarov, my only pistol, and i would like her to learn it inside and out, but i don't know if that's the first weapon she should shoot. The range I like to go to is an indoor pistol / rifle range and they rent all calibers up to .45. What do you think would be a lightweight, clean firing, "non-scary" type of gun for a woman who has never fired before? (And still probably dislikes guns on principal).
