One of our instructors recently bought his wife an .38 snub nose Air Weight and put a Crimson Trace laser grip on it. His wife took the class this past Saturday She has shot very little, and only 22's.
During the shooting portion, at 15 feet, she put every single round in a group the size of an average person's ear.
But then grandma (his wife's mother, who has never shot a gun) stepped up and nearly duplicated the feat.
I must tell everyone that she was shooting the whole time supported by sandbags in single action.
So what? Sandbags at 15 feet. Perhaps, but it gave a couple of brand new shooters a lot of confidence.
After the class my buddy (same instructor) let me shoot his M&P .40 with a Crimson Trace. At 50ft on sandbags, I could only manage a couple of 4-1/2" group. Then I turned the laser off and shot two 1-1/2" groups.
