Re: Gun range for trying out guns

Jim, thats the one. Hers is in the stainless upper model. Seems like the grip size and angle of grip suits her well.
We may try to make it to Marksman monday eve. I think ladies shoot free that night.
She did mumble something to the effect that i had too many boxes of 9mm and she would try to help me with it. ( how nice of her)
The mag is somewhat hard to load (small single stack) but i use my uplula loader on it and works well.
Keep on shootin' :fire

Re: Gun range for trying out guns

Well- my "better-half" has found a gun that she is happy with. We found a taurus 709 "slim" in a 9mm. She liked the feel of it and the slide action.
My only concern was the long trigger pull and the hefty trigger spring.May take a little getting used to. It does have more recoil than my p95-9mm
because of the lighter weight. She didn't seem to mind that as much .
We tried it out at Marksman range last evening and she loved it. She kept her targets which she put one on the oven range hood (i think i've created a monster-LOL)
I think i can see my supply of 9mm ammo diminishing.
Thanks for everyones imput

Re: Gun range for trying out guns

Thanks for all the ideas. Helps me "weed out" some of the compact guns. I think she wants to try to stay with the 9mm, she feels comfy with that.
I see a lot about PSC on here. Could you tell me what it is and where is it located.
All the folks on this forum have been a wealth of information and i can't tell you how much it is appreciated.

Gun range for trying out guns

I'm in the process of finding my "better-half" a 9mm small frame gun that will fit her hands better. Are there any ranges (nearHouston) that have guns to try out? I'm looking at Tarus,kel-tec , bersa-etc.
She wants to be able to shoot one before we buy it. She's going for her CHL in the near future.
She was able to shoot my p95 today, but just needs a smaller sized gun.
Thanks a million for any help.
