In a related thread I end up trading a AK hunter for a P38.
I showed my wife the result of the trade (which I don't normally do) but she had seen me take the AK out to the truck that morning so she was interested.
I unloaded and locked open the P38 and showed it to her.
She exclaims "wow can this be my gun?"
Out of 13 years of being married she hasn't expressed much interest in guns or shooting, I think she has gone with me once or twice.
So this morning we are sitting on the couch after breakfast and my wife asks "can we go to the range and shoot my new gun?"
I agreed (I'm still kind of confused at this sudden change of attitude)
She was always pro RKBA but never wanted to go whan I invited her to the range.
We go to the local range and I refresh her on the gun safety basics
and the workings of the P38 and she procedes to make some incredible
groups and has a great time. Pretty soon she was loading mags and
doing everything on her own.
As an aside, the P38 functioned flawlessly as was very accurate I was able to get some 2inch one handed groups at 15 yards.
Too bad its not mine anymore.......
