Proud husband!

I took my wife to Point Blank yesterday for her first time ever on the trigger. I brought my G19 and a few boxes of ammo. I went through the lessons of how to safely operate the handgun and properly hold and aim it. This was a huge deal for me because ever since I picked up my first firearm, she has been super nervous and "ify" about guns in the house. I have done ny best to explain to her that guns can be safe if handled properly. It took a long time to convince her to at least learn how to operate a handgun in case of emergency.

I was so impressed with how well she took in what I was saying and her first three hits were right on the money! Here is a photo them. This was at 10 yards. View attachment 38248

women shoot well and your wife seems to be no different. Nice shooting!

My wife was also nervous about guns in the house. And did not understand why I would carry when "it's just to the store down the road."
I can thank parabelum in Avon and there classes for women for helping with that. She went and loved it. Came home and wanted her own gun. She now carrys.

Congrats to your wife and to you in helping her overcome her fears. Most females are naturally good shots.
Awesome!

I have had more than a few women in our ladies guided class that never touched a firearm before leave the range saying they had a new hobby. Some people don't realize that it's important to go slow with a new shooter to avoid scaring them off. Handing them a Casull and telling them recoil is minimal, you will enjoy it might be amusing to some regular shooters but NOT a good first experience.
Sounds like you did your homework and did it correctly, something TO be proud of.

I would recommend a quick access safe if she is iffy about guns in the house

Great shooting I need to get my wife out for a date night...

My step-mother chewed the center completely out of a target at her first NRA pistol basics class... pretty much the first time she'd used a gun.

Nice! You should be proud!

First time I took my wife shooting years ago was in the Nevada desert outside Las Vegas. I handed her my then carry (BG before Glock), S&W mdl 37 cheifs spcl "AIRWEIGHT", and she pulled the trigger on that lightweight snub, and that was that. Years later I let her shoot a .25 auto and progress to 9mm, she has her own Glock-17 and aint too bad, considering I am probably the only one thing she will ever shoot.

Yeah, my grandfather believed that women are better "natural shooters" than men.

Congrats to OP.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Good work OP.

women shoot well and your wife seems to be no different. Nice shooting!

Yes, this. Every woman I have ever taken shooting has always demonstrated great focus and aim.

 

[BugI02]

Yeah, my grandfather believed that women are better "natural shooters" than men.

Congrats to OP.

Perhaps they have fewer pre-conceived notions to unlearn

Gun girls are hot. I have one also.
