If the Lord ever blesses me with a daughter, I hope she's as enthusiastic about guns as Autumn is.

This is the third or fourth young lady I've found on the Intertubes in the past few months who is very adept and knowledgeable about firearms. Every one has impressed me immensely.

I have often heard horror stories about the .44 magnum! The recoil is supposed to be horrible and will put a “button Hole” in the middle of your forehead if you are not careful!

So I eventually got a .44 mag S&W, put some Pachmayr grips (small) on it and blasted away! The grips turned it into a pussycat!

The gun is almost bigger than she is.

I admire anyone who can handle a gun with respect and responsibility. It makes me want to take up shooting for fun. When I was ten (back in 1984) Dad took me out one winter morning to cut firewood. For whatever reason he brought his 30-30 rifle along. He thought it would be a good growth experience if I shot my first gun.

I was a TINY dude. Will never forget holding that rifle in my hands. It looked like a cannon. Dad had me aim at a tree and pull the trigger.

Almost forty years later and I still cannot describe the sounds and the colors I saw after the recoiled scope hit the top of my nose square between the eyes. The blast knocked me flat on my back. Blood gushed out. I still have the scar from that incident.

I've been reluctant to shoot any gun since. Maybe it's time to finally overcome that fear?

Pachmayr grips more painful than standard.

Yes, it's time. Get a good .22 and learn the fundamentals, and above all safety, then get whatever's comfortable for you to use.

I'm not a big fan of recoil myself. If you're shooting at game, you'll hardly notice it at the time, though.

I have owned a bunch of guns over my lifetime, but I never had any inclination to get a “Dirty Harry” Model 29 .44 Magnum revolver. Too big, too heavy, and I’m not a revolver fan.
But - a table mate of mine at a gun show last year had a really cherry M29 with the 8 3/8 inch barrel, blued and the price was attractive, so I bought it.
I had to at least try it out, so I bought a box of older Remington ammo and headed for the range.
I loaded it, aimed in, and squeezed the trigger.
That dang thing roared, with a huge muzzle flash and everybody around me stopped shooting to see what made that noise. It felt like first time I fired a big pistol when I was a kid - complete with that feeling of being just plain big for me - but the recoil was comparatively mild and after six shots, it grouped like a match pistol at 25m!
I’m keeping this one!

Way past time. Hopefully not too late.

At 10, I was shooting my grandpa’s 8X57 MM Mauser ‘war trophy’, which is about 60% more powerful than 30-30, (and with a steel buttplate)... and I was a lightweight kid too.

But if you are still leery, start out with a .22 rimfire, or a .223,..... and no scope. Your dad was kind of mean to start you out with a scoped rifle of medium power. Lots of even grown people get banged with scope, even experienced shooters, occasionally if they get careless.

Good people are going to need to be able to shoot, and own something to do it with in the very near future.

When I used to shoot, we once rented an S&W .44 mag at the range, and bought some range ammo. It did not seem like such a big deal, but that may have been the range ammo.

Taurus OEM grips on their more powerful revolvers are superb, I think even better than Pachmayr. My .454 Taurus is much more pleasant to shoot than my Buddy’s new-ish .44 Mag Colt Anaconda (which is a superb pistol...Accurate and beautiful... I wish they made it in .454 Casull)

I used to own one of those. Not the most fun gun to shoot.

videos like that send the left into fits of foaming at the mouth insanity-

love that she always had the gun pointed in safe direction and was aware of it and had her finger outside the trigger area until ready to fire- even when she was distracted by talking to her dad-

I have a model 29 and a colt anaconda both with 8 inch barrels. The 29 is very light compared to the anaconda and despite the size of both they are very comfortable to shoot. I just inherited my dad’s taurus 2 inch 44 which is awful to shoot.

I ran the 4H shooting sports program in my county.

Many people ruin kids by trying to impress them with the power and noise of a inappropriate firearm for their age.

The first time I went hunting was at age 12 on Grandad’s TN farm on Thanksgiving. Rabbit hunting with a .22 single shot. I got to go hunting with the menfolk!

When we got home to NC, Dad took me out and taught me how to shoot his shotgun. So at 75 lbs. I was hunting with a J.C. Whitney 12 gauge pump shotgun. I learned early how to handle recoil.
