It’s time to buy the wife a new gun. You would think that I would be above the “look honey, I bought you a new gun” stage where the new gun in question really has nothing to do with my wife. Sadly though…
I went to the gun store with the intent to get her something that fits her needs, fits her hand, shooting style, and level of recoil control. What I did however was get sucked into that cool 1911 style pistol that I was sure would be great for “her” as I could easily train her up into using it…
Well folks, I have learned my lesson. (again). Buying for her is buying for her and not for whatever catches my eye. I think we all get drawn into that a little bit sometimes where we become biased by what we want in that shiny display case, or thinking that “They need a real caliber”. Learn by my mistakes and when you are shopping for a new gun for the wife, the kids, whatever, keep focused on what is good for them.
I will post a discussion soon about how to pick out a gun for yourself or someone else. There are a few things that will make a big difference to help make your next purchase the right one.
So it’s off to the gun store to get her a new gun (again) and this time I will not be distracted. I wonder if she would like a red dot…
