I can't stand the condescending sexist attitude that some men have on this issue. Men even come in the shop to buy a gun for their female partner without their female partner and or leave their mate in the car. Leave them in the car like some dog.
Women, leave the men home, just bring the check book or credit card.
Before anyone get's upset this post in no way refers to any post here. It is just something I wanted to comment on and one that I feel striongly about. And women if you prefer to talk to a female sales rep it can be arranged. My wife is a pistol packing mamma and owns half the place. Plus she is a TR alumni and although does not train as much as I do, she still trains. |
I hate seeing that guys "picking" guns for their girls. they tend to push J frames and with the high recoil, heavy trigger and gernerally bad groups peole get with them it is a very discouraging gun to learn on. if they go past that theyoften push semi auto pistols that have lots of controls to learn or don't fit them.
Three things I push to women,
Practice,
find a gun you are comfortable working( racking the slide, reoading, etc.)
keep the gun on you. the purse is conveinent. but if someone grabs your arm you can't get to your gun, if you mis orient your purse the gun is located in a differnt position then you thought it was, and ina purse things can get to the trigger and set it off. so keep it on you. if you wnat a back up in the purse that is another matter, just keep it on you.
