Nice!!! My wife just got her plastic last month. It took an eternity for her to get it back (over 90 days) but she is proud to have it.

Now if i can only get her to carry........ :banghead:

well, she passed with flying colors. She couldn't wait to tell me about all the people in the class. What was really concerning was that she felt the passed 3 people (2 women, 1 man) that had no business shooting a gun. She told me that the instructor actually had to help one lady load her magazine because she was putting the bullets in backwards. :banghead:

She also told me that muzzle control was a big problem with almost half the class. She was really surprised and concerned that everyone was passed.

Neither one of us are by any means IPSA marksmen but I like to think we have very good basic handling skills.

Now comes stalking the mailbox and the race to see who gets theirs quickest.
My little wife (High Calibre Hottie) received her's in a month and two days.
Took mine over two months! :banghead:

To be honest, I had the same concerns about some of the people in my class as there seemed to be several who were spray and pray and a couple people got bit by the slide because they were holding their off hands to reinforce their wrist.

I understand the concern about it but I think this is the first steps for alot of people who realize after the class the gravity of what they are undertaking and get help/training and practice. Aside from that, it does say "shall not be infringed" and I think there is enough infringements already. So while I'm worried for them, I'm all for them doing it, and learning to do it right.
