1. I’ve shown her the grip. She won’t pick it up. But she would use it if her life depended on it, I think.
2. I have a light on the gun, so that bullets hit the middle of the light +/- 2 inches. I’ll investigate a laser.
3. Got it. That’s probably an improvement. She might save ammo for additional use if the bad guy just ducks.
4. Right-o. Some day, we’re going to get her 75 year old mother out shooting, and I think we’ll get her on a .22 LR handgun. I think she’ll probably start there. Maybe.
Thanks!
Sounds like you are on the right track. When working with a new shooter(on handguns) I almost always use a .22. If gun mufflers (silencers,suppressors) well rationally available as they are in Europe, instead of insanely regulated, as they are in the United States.
People can get excellent utility from a handgun with just a couple of hours of instruction, if they are willing to learn.
If you can teach her mother to shoot, it might break down whatever barriers are preventing her from participating.
