Watch me please my wife on her birthday

[MCgrease08]

The first time I tried to take my wife to the range it caught fire (Beech Grove) and we had to leave early.

Wednesday was her birthday so I decided to give it another shot. Here she is shooting a Ruger SR22 at Parabellum. Great range BTW.

We also tried a Ruger LC380 which we both hated. But overall it was a good day. She had fun and says she wants to go back.

Sorry for the vertical view. It was an impromptu video.

Nice! She seems to do very well for (I assume) a new shooter!
She leans into the shots, and handles recoil well! No slowly leaning backwards after every shot! Congrats!

She has taken to it quickly. Fortunately for her she has a knack for not listening to any of the tips I try to give her.

Cool. My wife would have wanted to shoot me if she knew I was filming her and especially if she knew I put it up on the internet.

What didn't you like about the SR22?

That should make her an EXCELLENT shooter!!!

The SR22 was okay. It's the LC380 we didn't like. The trigger stinks. It's DAO. Mags were hard to seat. We had some feeding issues with it, and it failed to go into battery several times.

OK. I'd kind of been considering that SR22 someday as a future purchase.

Yes it is. It looked like an INGO After Hours thread.

I agree. I expected something TOTALLY different. Like..........
























him sweeping the floor or cleaning the toilet.

It wouldn't be my first choice for a .22 pistol if I had to spend money on one. I'd much rather have something like a Mark III, but the SR22 is fun to mess around with from time to time.

Was yours a rental? My buddy bought one, and it has been the only .22 pistol we shot that we didn't have any issues with.

Yes, I was expecting to learn some new techniques on how to properly use my trigger finger. Maybe one of those pie charts that tells you what you are doing wrong when you don't hit the right spot.

Good on the OP for doing something for his wife's BDay that can't be bought at a store.

Yes we rented it, but I've shot privately owned SR22s too. Like I said. It's okay as a plinker and it runs pretty consistently. It's not my favorite package though. I don't like the fact that it has a safety, and safety is reversed (flip up to disengage).

They also feel just a little too loose for my taste and the mags are tough to seat. It's easy to field strip, but a little awkward to get back together.

I'd happily take one if someone gifted it to me, but it used to be a gun I was considering buying. I don't really feel that way anymore.
