Sandy

I have shot a few guns that perform flawlessly for others but get an occasional stove pipe for me..that is how I can tell when I am not gripping it properly and riding the recoil. Just one thought of what "could" be contributing . Cuban , huh ? Me too

That is what I immediately though of too lol

Paul , do you have them in stock in pink?

How old is your daughter Ray?

Dave is definitely great at showing a little one how to take their first shots :)I know what you mean about different personalities in kids. I taught martial arts to kids for a while. Some 4 year olds were way ready and followed directions, some 6 year olds were not ready . There is a wide variety of mature from 4 to 8 . Then they all start to even up . The first step was not hiding it from her. Then a few months of talking about the rules , how it is not a game or a sport like soccer where you can be silly and the worse that happens is you allow a goal.. I made sure she kept asking to go on her own without my prompting her just to make sure it was her being interested rather than me wanting her to be interested lol Well , hopefully we will be seeing each other at OB soon as members

Thanks I'm not sure if it is meant to be a tree of life , but it sure does resemble one. It's pretty heavy too. My mother picked it up at a craft fair

It was nice meeting you there James! We plan to join as well , next month

Me and my daughter shooting! Thanks Dave for being a good photographer too Target signed!

Ready Steady aim , breathe , fire when ready a hit!

Dave ( Smokin .50 ) was very nice and had us up to OB on Saturday so my daughter could try his Little Buckaroo .22 . Molly has been asking and asking to try and shoot for months now. I may get her the smallest airsoft I can find so she can practice in the yard. As you can see in the pics she is still a bit too physically small for even the smallest rifles ( though I may check out Crickets for her) . Dave is a great instructor , and Molly did very well. She may be cross dominant just like dad , that will reveal itself in time with practice . She will be 6 but she is tiny for her age..39" tall and 29 pounds. She needed 2 fingers to pull the trigger . A little more growing and she'll do great. She is there mentally! Thank you so much Dave for taking the morning out to put a smile on a child's face ! You are a real asset to the sport :)She hung her target on the wall after showing to everyone. She wanted to take it down to show the bus driver for my son's school this morning lol Eyes first Then your ears Learning about the chamber flag And how to operate the bolt

lol thanks Dave I really liked the size of it and the one handed operation. IMO being able to do what you need to one handed is imperative in a CC gun. It definitely gave me something to think about in my search here .

Deer make a high pitched noise , kind of like a whistle.

lol Pete...is..resting ..in his pod Uhm , it was definitely a Colt and a 1911 platform. Let me see , I probably got the name wrong. Ok , post review : " see about my Government Model with 7-round mags. EITHER one is just SWEET! And they both fit small hands really well! Thinner than almost anything else out there and a real pocketgun that won't injure your hand during practice. With 95 grain HP's, a double-tap will make the Perp want to stop the fight, unless he's high on bath salts or PCP. Then just give 'em another double to finish the fight!" Government , Governor. Tomato , to-mah-toe But that is not the one I tried. Sorry , I'm all over the place. I tried a Colt Mustang . I think. Dave will be able to clarify at some point lol

I have a 3" barreled revolver , I love it. Sits nicely in a little remora holster even in gym shorts. Though I do want to pick up a regular IWB holster for it soon ( Model 60 J frame) . I have 3 P2Ps coming. Looking to get a subcompact like what I was asking about here , a compact ( already have my eye on one) , and another revolver ( undecided) . I tried a Colt Governor yesterday that I REALLLY liked , I was able to operate everything one handed , even the safety and slide lock lever..and it was adorable too ( hey , I am a girl afterall) . I think the next P2P is taken on something I saw in a CZ..then the next might be that Gov. Nice gun.

Glad you liked it! Knew you would Wait until you get into the Urban Pistol series. You really start to learn some very important stuff , and the courses are fun. 4 hours just flies by . You should check out Low Light No Light series too. Very good classes

Thanks , I'll be ordering it

I shot 2 3/4 slugs no problemo I'm going to try that out next after I run out of what I have left over from Urban Shotgun . Small rooms in a Colonial house , 3 little kids in my house , homes close together , I would be very concerned with over penetration if God forbid we ever had a HD situation , and I would only ever be shooting if someone was closing a gap despite warnings .

In boxing , yes. Aware of it SO , I would make a 54" human gun rack

Jon , did she try shooting it yet ?

Where do you buy that Ray ? Let me know if you run low and want to go in on a buy.

My husband and I have a collection of handguns ..we only share when we are together at the range or in training together as per the law. It is annoying , yes. Technically if we both like the same gun we have to buy double if we want to go to the range alone with it ever. I'm sure this is something that would only come up if the spouse in question used it in the commission of a crime ( wife lends her legally acquired pistol to her husband who is a FID holder but deep down inside is a bad person and he goes haywire and robs a store rather than going to the range like he said) ..or God forbid , there is some kind of accident at the range while a spouse is using the pistol without the owner spouse being present. Or , if you get rear ended and your range bag goes spilling across the road ...the police pick it up and when it comes time to get them back it turns out they were not exactly yours . That sort of thing could cause exposure . Personally , I would not risk it.

Try the M&P. Under hot deals someone posted a page where they were on sale for 399.00

My kingdom for an AR with an adjustable stock so that my husband and I could both enjoy shooting one instead of having to buy 2. Most ridiculous "evil feature" ever...

Maybe I am just coming from an instructors point of view and from the point of view of a nervous new shooter , because those are shoes I have worn. If you are the instructor , whether you are a trained one or not , your expectations (low or high) transfers to the person you are teaching who is probably nervous and depending on you to tell them what they can handle. Men do this to women all the time , and it is not the man's fault ..it is just the way nature works and it is also the woman's fault for letting herself get that way over things . If a guy has it in his head a girl should start with a .22 so she does not get scared , she will pick up on that and it becomes a self fulfilling situation. Men do that with the best intentions and they do not realize they are doing ESPECIALLY when it is someone they are a father or uncle to or something. .. and women are super sensitive to it. Girls get nervous around men in these situations. That is why women only classes for a lot of sports/hobbies are so popular . My first lesson , I was nervous as heck , was afraid of the gun and afraid of dropping it..the instructor from GFH prepared a gun for me to use , put it in the port , told me it was a Glock 9mm ...I asked him " does it have a lot of recoil" and the instructor said "nah , it won't fly out of your hand or anything , it's fine" So I relaxed. And it didn't fly out of my hand , and it was fine. There was so much time in between each shot..learning the sights , pulling the trigger very slowly , breathing . He was working on my weak grip right from the first lesson. Now with practice it only plagues me when I am mentally rushing ( like in IDPA and USPSA ) ..it is getting better . It would not have showed up as an issue had I been learning on a gun with low or no recoil . And that is fine too..either way I would have been dealt with it eventually unless I chose to stay with a .22 ((shrug)) I left there feeling silly for worrying about the big bad recoil from a 9mm..I also left there not liking Glocks lol ( he handed me a PX 4 Storm in 9mm and after that I kind of lost interest in the Block..I mean Glock lol ) There are sound reasons for starting with a .22 when teaching someone I'm sure and I do agree with a lot of reasons given behind it , IMO it is just one method, not the "necessary" way for a woman to be introduced to shooting. The latter is the sentiment I have issue with. Know what I mean? Heck , it isn't like I am Cyborg or sprinkle HGH on my wheaties in the morning lol

I also took this and other courses with GFH. You are going to have a good time and be in good hands Let us know how it goes!
