Her father has given her a number of guns in the past, but she is just not in to shooting them. Her favorite gun is her Springfield XD 9, but due to her infrequent range visits and her general disinterest in shooting we are looking at getting her a more suitable carry weapon. Each time we go to the range she needs reminding about at least one aspect.
I'm thinking of getting her a Taurus Judge (or the Public Defender), chambered in .45 Long Colt and .410 buckshot shotgun shells, alternating (3 Long Colt and 2 buckshot rounds) - thoughts?

I think that is a wonderful idea. After she shoots it, please send her to me so I can get her back in to shooting.

This line of posts is off topic. Please let it die.

Thank you.

Well, I confess that I was not appropriately gender neutral in my OP
about WIVES.

It's great that you know some well-armed women who need to take their
men to the range.

I will now flail myself with thorns for being unfair in my thread title. :-)

SIA

That is appropriate and very good of you to offer but the public offer is just fine!

Great post except for the obvious assumption that MEN need to take the WIVES to the range. Please keep in mind that while that may tend to be the norm; there are several cases I know personally of and I'll bet a good percentage more where the wives need to take the husbands to the range.

I would have liked the post to have read - Please take your family to the range and familiarize them with the guns in their households - and left the gender out of it.

Thank you guys - rant off!
