I'm glad it was helpful for her. She did great, so she has every reason to feel confident in her ability.
I have a case set for trial a week from Monday, but it may be continued. If it is reset, I can meet you at the Club sometime prior to Friday so she can try the other gun(s) before the gun show. If it isn't reset, I'll be preparing for trial all week. I can't do it on Friday or this weekend.

No you didn't.JustMe wrote:Get her with an instructor who is adaptive & receptive to working with a "newbie" woman (notice I DIDN'T say it HAS to be a female instructor!!)
But then you throw in this.JustMe wrote:See if there is a chapter of A Girl & A Gun anywhere near you. The facilitators are all NRA instructors and we are accustomed to working with women who have never even picked up a gun before! And she will get a chance to practice & learn in a supportive, encouraging environment without any pressure.

Re: Ladies, need advice for revolver purchase
Since you are in the Houston area, I'd be happy to meet you and your wife at PSC and let her shoot a variety of revolvers and semi-autos to see what she likes best. Then she can decide on formal training.
Let me know if you are interested.

I totally agree with you about removing the husband from the equation. While I don't get frustrated with her at all I think she feels somewhat embarrassed that she is so timid about firearms in general.JustMe wrote:Get her with an instructor who is adaptive & receptive to working with a "newbie" woman (notice I DIDN'T say it HAS to be a female instructor!!) Sometimes taking the husband/wife factor out of the equation helps--I don't train with my husband!

There are also some tricks that we girls can use to do things that make things(like racking the slide) easier. I taught an 85 y/o woman with arthritis how to rack the slide on my glock!
