WooHoo!!! Congrats! I have a gen one Glock 17 I purchased in 1986(?) time flies when your having fun. Great weapon... That thing has been through heck and back and is still a tack driver. Great weapon choice!! You will love it. Be sure and give us the range report. For some darned reason, some of us tend to shoot our groups to the left of center with Glocks. I put more of my finger on the trigger and the problem corrected itself. Maybe I am weird...LOL.Justice wrote:Well, I can officially call myself an armed legal resident alien. They called the next day just before I had to go to work to tell me everything came back OK. I shall refrain from posting any pictures, as everyone knows what a Glock 17 looks like.
I also picked up a case of 20 federal hydro-shocks and 100 rounds of remington 9mm plinking ammo. I'll most likely take it to the range in the near future, after I clean it thoroughly. It is currently up-stairs, with a loop lock trough the barrel. One mag is loaded with the hydroshocks, and sits in my gun case. The wife feels awkward, and to some extent I do as well. But it'll pass. I know I will have lots of fun with it. And hopefully those hydro-shocks will never need to be used. $650 out the door for the lot. Quite a lot of dough. But I only have to do that once. (until I go for a Baretta M9 or 1911)

Best advice on the entire thread. There is also a women's section on this forum that may be of interest to her. Realizing she isn't alone in her concerns and reading advice from other women might be helpful.
Good Luck with the situation! I knew a guy some thirty years ago that had a theory about training bird dogs. When they were pups, he would fire a shot gun near them while they ate... Shock therapy was not a good technique. That guys dogs would be the first ones under the truck at the first barrage of gunfire when the quail busted loose. We only invited him alomg so we would have someone to make fun of. Introduce her slowly and she will come around... In your face never works well...LOL.
Edit... Holy cow!!! I just saw how old this thread was! I'm not deleting my great post anyway.
