Thank you for the run down on caliber effectiveness. Last night at class I used a S & W .22 semi-auto and I was pleased that I was able to manage the slide easily on that one. My DH and I talked about going down to the gun range this week to rent a few different pistols to get a feel for what I prefer. Next week we will be using .38s in class.
I was pleased and surprised that there was a good ‘girl vibe’ to the class. The video we were shown had a woman home alone who decided to take a gun class as its subject. About twenty-six people in our class, four of whom were women (we were all there with our spouses). Instructors were great, all retired military or LEOs, and basically I had my own private shooting instructor when we went to the range. It was a fantastic experience.
You are more than welcome. If I still lived in michigan I’d invite you out to try a few things. As it is, I see that you are being well taken care of.
