I feel your pain, and would invite you to take my wife shooting some time, the last time I did she had trouble hitting our planet much less the target.
I dare ya to post another one!

I bought my (soon to be) wife a PPK/S in 32 acp and asked her dad to spend some range time with her.
Dad was an MP in WWII, served as a bodyguard to MacArthur.
He is gone now, but I wish I could have gotten some range time with him.
Wife? She does just fine, the X ring Queen.
Her son - she reminds me, shot expert at USMC Basic. My good looks, her eyes, literally.
I once borrowed a nice Anschutz .22 rifle from a friend, and participated in an NRA smallbore match. A 12-yr old girl in the next lane shot better than I did...
Typical west side chicks too
I knew it
I was looking at my American Handgunner today and saw that particular model.
Not sure what I think about the bobbed hammer though.
I will let you know tomorrow. Never been fired.
I have a 100 yard rifle target on my office wall. With two spent shell casings on a small shelf above it. The casings were from an SVT-40 (7.62x54R), although the target was shot with a scoped Moison-Nagant, straight out of "Enemy at the Gates", including the scope. I put up a little photo of each type of rifle, just so the unintiated would know what sort of rifle was involved.
They weren't even mine, but belonged to a guy in Florida, who took a couple of visiting Texans to the range when were there on business.
The bad news with one of those rifles is you really can't blame the gun, unless there's a visible bend in the barrel.
I went to a class and used my Anschutz. I found out those rifles can not be fired more than a hundred times without cleaning. I had about two hundred rounds through it and it became worse and worse. Finally, I couldn’t hit a piece of paper from fifty yards with it.
It took hours to clean the leading from the bore.

We got to shoot it today for the first time.
It's very loud, but that's to be expected for a snubby.
Ruger has both a bobbed and standard hammer with the Crimson Trace grips and we were looking for a bobbed hammer in particular.
This is meant for concealed carry for Mrs. Knitebane. Hammers can snag at inopportune moments. If this was meant solely as a regular shooter I'd consider a standard hammer for single action shooting but it's not. It's for a small female to carry in a belly band or in a concealment purse.
If it’s for just concealed carry, then a bobbed hammer is fine and probably a good thing.
THere are low flash snubby loads from federal and winchester but right this very second I cant think of the name of them.
