Me and my wife recently became gun owners,she has the BG380 and I have a S&W 9mm sigma.Went to pops to shoot for the first time and WOW what a rush.I may have to trade the BG380 because it hurts her hands,but she realy likes my 9mm.
Congrats! You combined two of the best 'first' experiences into one - going to the range the first time and buying your first gun! It's nice that your wife showed so much interest at the beginning as well. You'll notice a lot of people on here struggle to get their significant others to be comfortable around firearms (mine included).
Welcome to INGO! Yeah, You'll find that those range trips with the two of you, while serious, are something you will really look foreward to. It always amazes me how pleasant an afternoon of shooting can be.
to I see you are from BG, I'm looking forward to when BG firearms gets their new building and opens up their shooting range! I really need to get out and shoot again...the last time I was shooting was early feb. out doors 30 degrees and sleeting...not the most pleasurable weather, but I enjoyed the shooting.
You have a disease no drug can cure. Luckily lound noises and finely tuned machined parts going boom is a good anecdote. Wait til you go shoot and have to decide which piece you want to take.
My wife really likes the Walther PK380. Its a semi-auto 8+1 that fit her hands perfectly. She put about 100 rounds through it and didnt complain about her hands at all.
Cool another BG member. Welcome aboard I take the family to MCFG - Indy Range Official Website - Shotgun, Pistol, Shooting Range Marion county Fish and game. check them out while waiting for the new BG range to open.
send me an email if your interested in going to the range sometime.
Glad you had fun. Don't forget that it's one thing to shoot at paper, and another thing completely to be prepared for a self defense scenario. If you plan on carrying you should really consider some SD training.
Thanks for the warm welcome,and thanks for the invitation to go to the range,right now I would only be able to go on the weekends because of work,if that works for you let me know,I need to get out and practice more.
