Hey folks,
Along with going out today to donate blood, I also went with the SWMBO to the local pistol range to get her a little more experience with her S&W MP40 Shield for her CC ability. She doesn't like guns, and is a little bit afraid of them which is good with regards to having respect for it. She shot it a few times, and that was enough for her! I won't put up her target sheet....it was only at 5 yards, and she hit the shoulder, and a few other misses!
She actually prefers the older Ruger 357Mag Service Revolver we got some 30+ years ago....but it's a bit "big" to put in a purse. However both only have about 6 rounds due to the single stack clip the "Shield" uses. One clip will actually hold 7, plus if I put one in the pipe and then reload the clip, she can have a total of 8! She's a nurse and does home visits, sometimes in shady parts of town!
Mine is a S&W MP40 full size, holds 15 in the clip. I only shot 1 clip full because she had already left the range room and had gone back into the sales room, so I knew she didn't want to stick around long...and I had to drive across town to the other donation center. The one close to the gun range was only doing platelets that day!
Anyways, I set my target, which was the smaller Silhouette 10.5"W x 21" H, to the maximum 11 yard distance for the range. I was surprised at how well I did...I really like that pistol...put on the wider grips to fill my hands better.
Hope you all have had a good weekend!
