I signed up my wife for training with Sheriff Ken Campbell of Boone County's intro to defensive pistol (all ladies) class and today was her first day. She has been to the range with me, but was still timid and worried about handling her weapon. She came home and said that she actually enjoyed the class. She was practicing her dry fires and is much more confident handling her pistol. She has a G19 (with a pink hogue grip sleeve).
She made the comment that there were several women with revolvers in the class and that she thought that they looked harder to use than her automatic. I told her that some guys think that automatics are too "complicated" for a lady to handle, and that a revolver is simpler, but that it is a bunch of hooey. Revolvers have their own set of issues to deal with, they are just different than automatics. I am glad that she trusted me when we picked out her gun and didn't listen to the salesman who tried to sell her a snubby revolver with a pink handle. She got a real weapon, and a pink handle to boot.
Can't wait to hear about her day tomorrow. All day on the range, no classroom. Cant wait to get her to the range and see what she learned.
