Range Time with wife, and question.

I think one issue your wife may be having is trying the long, slow DA trigger pull on an accuracy-based target (bullseye). Get her some man-sized targets (they make some nice zombie ones now for fun), and let her try a "hurried" rapid-fire DA trigger pull at action-distances (~ 7 yards or less) and quit concentrating on the exact bullsye and 10-ring and instead concentrate and shoot for center of mass rapidly. Don't try to make her NRA pistol master accurate, just make her "killed the bad guy" accurate and see how she does. Most people trying the long, slow, heavy DA trigger pull will end up shaking the gun and be a lousy shot. But have them snap off 6-shots from a DA revolver at a "threat" target, and she may do pretty well and learn to be confident with it. Then you can work on NRA-accuracy ratings later....
 
Hello Smaug,,,

Aarond: you said the Thunder 22s are only made every couple years. How about the Firestorm 22s? They're the same gun, I think, and maybe they alternate years and just switch the tooling for stamping the slide and such.

That's what the good folk over at www.bersachat.com told me,,,
That the plant only makes one run of the .22's a year.

I don't know if that means Thunder 22's one year and Firestorms the next.

Seriously though,,,
That Thunder .22 is a very nice handgun.

The T-22 and the Firestorm are identical with these few exceptions:

Firestorm has a round trigger guard vs. the square one on the T-22,,,
Firestorm has finger-grooved wrap-around rubber grips vs. Plastic on the T-22,,,
The rear sight on the Firestorm is different than the rear sight on the T-22,,,
I'm not quite sure what that difference is.

Inside they are the same handgun,,,
They use the same magazine.

Aarond
