1. Excellent video...

I agree with the instructor that women are easier in shooting than men.

The women I've worked with, once they overcame the initial fear, really enjoyed shooting.

I've watched a lot of guys bring their girl friends to the range and hand them some high powered handgun to try. Must be a macho thing. Doing this is an excellent way to turn a woman off in a hurry.

Girls, if you do allow your boyfriends to teach you shooting, make sure he starts you out on a small caliber revolver or pistol. A .22 weapon is best...at the most a .38 special in a large or medium frame revolver. One you get the feel for the recoil a small caliber firearm generates, you can move up in power.

My daughter who weighs just over 100 pounds has no problem shooting a my S&W 44 mag revolver, although she likes her S&W model 25-2 .45 acp revolver better.

2. Interesting...

I own a S&W 25-5 .45Colt. Very easy to shoot. I'm sure your daudhter would enjoy shooting one of
those as well. Still a few out there, give one a try if you if you get a chance.:hi:

3. I did own a 25-5 at one time...

It was a beautiful weapon with a nickel finish. I could never achieve quite the same accuracy from this firearm as I did from the 25-2, despite reloading many different 45 colt rounds. Finally, in frustration I traded it off.

Now, of course, I wish I had kept it. My daughter would have probably loved it. A much prettier weapon than her 25-2.

Maybe I'll look for another one.
