berkbw, She LOVES range days. She's never been an "anti," but I can clearly remember a time when the range was a scary place for her, and she was too scared to even load a firearm on her own, because she didn't like handing cartridges to load magazines.
Now she wants to go to the gun shop practically every single day to hold her Bersa, and she can't wait to get out on the range and practice more. Let other guys make their ladies happy with jewelry. Mine is emptying my wallet with ammo costs, and I couldn't be happier about it.
Penturner, yeah, I got the two Keltec 9mms confused. She has held both the P11 and the PF9, and the "reach" from the backstrap to the trigger was too much for her short fingers to achieve a comfortable grip. The Keltec P3AT fit her hand perfectly. The Bersa Thunder 380 wasn't QUITE as comfortable as the P3AT for her, but she ultimately felt that the Bersa's extra weight made for a tamer recoil, and she preferred the Bersa's DA/SA trigger pull over the DAO P3AT.
