New Shooter

While at the range (see below) I was able to observe several new shooters trying various rented handguns under the watchful eye of the range instructor. When packing up to leave I mentioned to a woman that she did a good job for a brand new shooter. She shot a Bersa 380, a Glock 9mm and a 1911 45. She liked the big 1911 the best. I was kinda surprised at this. She liked the 45? She was around 5 feet tall and couldn't have weighed more than 100 pounds soaking wet. Most women dislike any 45 auto because of the heavier recoil.

I really like watching the grin on the faces of new shooters.
