beautiful pics

Is it possible the ejection port on that pistol is on the left?

It would appear so. Note the position of the tactical light on the AR in the background. It's clearly the same gun as picture #1 from that same post, and not reversed. He's also shooting with the left hand. That 1911 must be a genuine custom "lefty".

Ok ok... I'll play

Me teaching my girlfriend how to shoot for the first time. Gun is a Walther P22, and she had a blast


The two of us after the range session. All smiles

The 1911 is a lefty. Its a mirror image. Even the rifling and magazines are "backwards". Its fun to play with. I love to let rightys shoot it. They look at it like its the spawn of Satan himself. Then I say "welcome to my world".

I was waiting for someone to notice. Its made by Safari Arms.

Mark.

Shooter is left handed so I'm guessing: yes

 

[M60]

Its not me pictured shooting the Lefty. Its a friend of mine. It is my pistol though, and I'm a lefty. I prefer the right handed version with the ambi safety.

Mark.

so I showed my girlfriend this thread, and she got upset over the pic of the two of us all dressed up. She felt that she doesn't look good in it, so she is insisting that I put up some better photos of her. Who am I to protest .
tomorrow is our one year anniversary, got her a bottle of Dom.



The pics are very nice but sorry - hardly gun oriented at all. Moderator

 

[marklbucla]

Guess you'll have to whip out the camera and the guns again then.

 

[rero360]

oops, my bad, but she told me to. Oh well, looks lie we'll hav to have an other photo session.

 

[P95Carry]

Can we stick to more obvious gun type images - I admire some ''glamor'' pics like the next guy but things stray well beyond "Handguns, General Discussion"!

 

[Dorryn]

I realize this thread has been dead for a couple days, but I finally took a picture that isnt abyssmal, and I wanted to share.

This is my wife with our (my) Glock 27.

IWB

I see your wife's using that new invisible IWB holster.

And dressed in Camo Chic!

And barefoot 'n' packin'.

The tape in the camera was messed up somehow, and didn't completely overwrite what was on the tape before it, so I pulled the good little chunks of video out and strung them together.

10 Ring,

A lovely lady and great to see she's enjoying shooting. But I have to ask (perhaps a question better asked of the lady herself, or of other women but I'll go ahead anyway):

Why do many new women shooters lean back when they shoot? Some men do it a little but I see so many women do it a lot, like in your video. It looks so uncomfortable to me. I'm sure it can't be good for accuracy and must leave the recoil untamed, which could lead to the shooter developing a flinch or just not enjoying their shooting. First thing I do once I've got a new shooter acquainted with their firearm (and safety etc) is to get them to adopt a secure and what I call 'agressive' stance. That's dosn't necessarily mean a 'fighting' stance, just one where the shooter has the weapon completely under control, is not afraid of it, and is focussed on the target, not the gun.

Don't take this as criticism at all, I'm just curious. Is it the weight of the weapon perhaps? I always start with bench shooting as it takes that variable out of the way.

I was thinking the same thing when I watching the video. And its true many women/girls who are new to shooting do stand that way. Men can do it to but usually take a more aggressive stance. I have a feeling they are a uncomfortable holding the gun, and bit nervous. They have to be taught to put themselves in an aggressive stance when holding a rifle and not be afraid of the recoil. That why it useally best to teach new shooters with .22lR at first then move up to more power weapons, that way they can work on their stance and aiming without worrying about recoil.

Women don't tend to have the upper body mass we do, so they feel more comfortable leaning back. That's my theory anyways. It has no research backing it up. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn at some point in my life.

 

[10 Ring Tao]

I was walking a fine line between letting her shoot and have fun, and occasional instruction or correction. I figured, get her hooked now, and get technical later on.

Seems to have worked:

[20:59] tao: and you handled the handguns with no problem...I think you're a natural, just begging for more
[21:00] amita: im not begging
[21:00] amita: i'm DEMANDING
[21:00] amita:

As far as leaning back, women don't have the upper body strength of men, so its natural for them to lean back to balance the weight of the gun. Same idea as when you lean to the right, when you're holding a heavy bucket in your left hand.

With a little instruction on how to use their skeletal structure to support the gun's weight instead of using muscles, and how to lean into the gun to absorb recoil, most women have no problem adapting.

 

[Glock22]

This is from about two years ago, we need to go shooting again and get some more pictures.

 

[10 Ring Tao]

^^ Watch out thumb!!!!! ^^

 

[Glock22]

Yeah I just noticed that on the picture two years after the fact. I guess her thumb was protected because there is a little bit of a beavertail on that gun.

My theory is that new shooters are trying to get the gun as far away from their face as possible, so they lean back.

 

[KellyTTE]

My gal is a Denver cop and an active shooter responder. She is also in the Denver Mounted Patrol and really knows her stuff (plus I'm showing her more and more .mil/pmc stuff to add to her knowledge everyday.

And it doesn't hurt that her family owns 10,000 acres that we can hunt and shoot on at will.

PWNED!

Nah. Just balancing. I generally shot IHMSA that way. Rock back, and the torso counter-balances the great big revolver or Contendor at arms length. Makes it a little easier to relax.

I must be getting old- my first reaction was that she's going to be doing the "hot brass in the cleavage dance" if she dresses like that for the range.

Definitely an attractive young lady.

 

[10 Ring Tao]

if she dresses like that for the range.

Heh, I know better than to let 'em dress like that for the range.
