Keep shooting!

I will Skyman!

I probably should have posted a disclaimer when I made my comments about Glock. It was not my intention to disrespect Glock at all. I have never personally fired one. My information came directly from a few people that do own them, my sister being one. The stories I've heard make me nervous about having one as a carry gun and I am an experienced firearm person. I'm 53 and have been shooting since I was 12. I've had a carry license for 8 years and I passed my written exam and shooting exam at the top of the class. When I took my exam I was the only woman in a class of 24 men. I shot better than almost all the men in the class. One of the "good old boys" even got so nervous he threw up all over the place. LOL I'm not a novice by any means. I probably should shoot my sister's Glock someday to see for myself. :-) I was repeating what I had been told by people that I figure should know.

Even though I've been shooting all kinds of firearms for over 40 years, handguns are not my preference in firearms. My only interest in handguns is to have a gun that is small enough to carry and powerful enough to do the job if, heaven forbid, I should ever need it. My first love in firearms is, and has always been, a short double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun.

That’s great Melinda.

We need more women in shooting. Your husband is lucky to have a wife who shoots.

You must be really good if you make the guys throw up in fear :-)
