Yesterday, I took my girlfriend shooting. I took a couple of my fullsize handguns with us. This was only 2nd time she has shot a handgun. My girlfriend isn't really into guns, and owns none. But, she doesn't mind going to shoot very occasionally. I have tried to get her to go a few other times, but she wasn't really that interested to go as often as I would like her too.
Well, last weekend when I went to a gun store, she came with me. She saw someone she knew, and that person started sending her messenger messages about guns. Her friend assumed she was into shooting. So, that spurred my girlfriend to go with me again.
Yesterday, I took the Glock 34 and the Beretta M9A3. My girlfriend shot the M9A3 last time, and liked it best. So, I thought I would take it again...
We both shoot the Beretta better (my groups are a little tighter with the Beretta). And, she really liked the Beretta. She did fantastic.
It's funny... She is from Russia. She told me when she was in college at music school in the early 1990s (she is a piano teacher) - a military soldier came and taught all the students how to shoot an AK. She also had to learn how to clean it and disassemble/reassemble it.
She told me the soldier always liked coming to teach the young college girls. She was in an all girls class, and they all had to learn how to do this. She was in her early 20s at that point, and had not fired a gun again until she met me.
I have a lot of different guns. And, the Beretta is too heavy for me to carry with my back problems. But, it IS my favorite to shoot out of all my handguns. My M9A3 is one from that 1 batch they made in MD before they stopped production and moved to TN.
Anyway, fun time yesterday. Here is a target she shot at 25 feet with the M9A3 (15 rounds thru 1 mag). Pretty damn good...
