Here’s my situation...trying to convince the better half that she needs to learn to shoot. She is not interested in going to the range with me, but acknowledges she needs to learn. We have had this conversation many times. I told her I would buy her her own gun. She shot my single action .22, YEARS ago. She was “meh” about it. I’ve tried to get her to at least try my 9 mm, but she’s afraid of the recoil, and now, during dry fire exercises I do, she tries to pull the slide back, and can’t do it. I’ve shown her the alternative method, that is, holding slide with her left hand, and pushing with her right. Still a no go. I’m at a loss as to what to try next.
So, contemplating my next move, I’m thinking of telling her I would consider selling one of my pistols to enable her to shoot what she has told me she would shoot, a .22 revolver. Since we are retired now, it might make things go down easier.
So, what say you, INGO? Would you sell one of yours to facilitate the other half getting involved in her own self protection? I’m not crazy about a .22 for self defense, but I guess you gotta start somewhere. Let me hear from you!
