I've never been able to get my wife interested. She shot my glock 19 years and years ago, and the noise and blast scared her so much she left the range.
Then we tried .22 rifle, but she is left eye dominant, so could not hold the rifle comfortable.
More recently I gave her a Smith model 17. But the single action on it was so light, she had a couple of scares where the gun went off before she was ready. So she just about gave up.
A week ago, I was selling my HK P2000sk on a forum, and a guy offers me a stainless Ruger Bearcat with some cash for it. At first I thought I don't need it, but then I thought, maybe I could see if my wife was interested.
I showed it to her, and explained that it was simple to operate, and even found a youtube video with alaska granny where she talks about how much she loved the Bearcat, and to my amazement, she said she wanted one!!
So tomorrow we are going to do the trade and she is excited about HER NEW GUN! Never thought the day would come when I could be saying that. If it has to be a single action .22 that gets her excited and into shooting, so be It!
