I also learned, that after showing a 60+ year old lady how to shoot steel plates at 10 yards with her .38 S&W snub-nose - hitting 4/5 plates in DA mode - that some ladies learn so quickly that they will then shoot 5/5 plates also in DA, totally destroying their instructor :shock: :tiphat: :smilelol5:

Oh, yeah, almost forgot - it's possible to miss a B27 man-sized target with a scoped Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag - with all 6 shots at 7 yards.
My 30 something DIL doesn't have the finger strength to even pull the trigger on a snubbie (concealed hammer).
Sounds like 1911 time for her (.45ACP or 9mm).
My son is starting her out with a semi-auto 22.
