First Rifle
I think on the Cricket , after you pull the bolt back to chamber the round , it stays back a bit and then moves forward when the trigger is pulled? That is the only thing I can think of that may be pinching her thumb like that , since it is not a semi auto. Draws a little blood too. Puzzling , but it happens consistently

First Rifle
Just got back from a really good range session with my daughter ( almost 8) . She has been to the range about 10 times now , and has been shooting the 10/22 which is too big for her. She hates the Cricket. Her hands are SO small ( Most 5 year olds are bigger than she ) that when she has her finger on the trigger , that bolt flies back and pinches her thumb every time. In other words , her size of her hands means when she has her finger on the trigger her thumbs gets in the way of the bolt. Is there anything Cricket sized that does not have a bolt action in the back like that ? Any other suggestions? I tried her on a few 22 handguns. Hands are just still too small , so they are out of the question for a few years at least.

The frame width is literally a fraction..a smidge .wider. If you could bring it that would be great. I'll try In other news I was trying the wrong leather holster of Pete's ( he had two? Jeez you think you know someone after 10 years of marriage...) Anyway , I have it set with a ziplock bag overnight in "the" leather holster. I'd much rather not have a thumb break flapping , so ...

Believe it or not , the G41 does not fit in the flapping thumb break fits all Pete holster. Glad I did not "Bobbitt" it while he slept lol I am wondering if the rumor that it fits in the box is true..I will be bringing my trusty Colt for CDP backup in case it does not. Going to grab one of the cheap Glock OEM holsters if I can. Moot point if I can't.

Somerset IDPA - 7/20
you mean the super tight leather one with the thumb break that only closes over whatever gun it was originally designed for which will forever remain a mystery ? Only if he will let me slice the thumb break off. I am doubtful I would get a green light for that.

I'll be there with a first time shooter(another lady ) , my husband "PE-te" and a brand new G41 I was so looking forward shooting in CDP. Can't find a holster for it in time though , unless I chuck 14 bucks away on that cheap Glock OEM one.

Pocket 9mm opinions
I have a Shield and have shot most of the guns mentioned. The Shield shoots the nicest , but it is definitely not a pocket gun. It fits into a useless category of " has the disadvantage of reduced capacity without the advantage of being able to put it in a pocket holster , but shoots nice " . If there actually was a need for a gun in that category , it would win hands down. It could be concealed in a bag or fanny pack ( shudder) ..but if you are going to do that why not go with a little more capacity? Useless fun to shoot non pocket gun. I do tuck it in my yoga pants with a small leather IWB holster when I am home alone. In case the dogs for some odd reason would not give me ample warning to get to my safe to get a real gun if someone was trying to break in. Want to buy mine? lol

You gave up your balls for marriage? Du DUH DUH! Snakes are usually only weighed/depicted by weight in grams. By breeders and collectors at least. No idea why. Anyway , our two are about 3 and 4 feet long if I had to guess. I had a 15 foot Albino Burmese Python when I was a teenager , several nasty bitey pine snakes , a Transpecos rat snake , a few California Kings.. Rainbow Boas , tons of garter snakes and milk snakes. My poor mother...

All pets can give you salmonella , ecoli , whatever. If a reptile does a poocasso in his cage and it gets on him , then you handle him.. our pythons eat rats. Rats in , rats out. Just be diligent about cleaning the cage ( as you should be for their comfort anyway ) , wash your hands after handling them ( and before , we can give reptiles infections too) , and you will be good to go. Just as an aside - it is a common error because pet stores , especially the big chain ones , are clueless - but , sand is the worst substrate for reptiles. They can ingest it , it can cause impaction , and it is also the germiest. The best substrate is paper towel, newsprint , or butcher paper. You can also get these things called repti-carpet which looks like sand or grass . Make sure it is the kind without loops otherwise their claws can get stuck. You have to wash and dry them though , paper is much easier. Glad he found a home , I would love to have him but with 3 big dogs , 3 little kids , and 2 big snakes I would become an instant single mom/pet owner if I brought one more thing into the house.
