Lady D-- most lady shooters I know love the AR-15's because they are so light-recoiling, and some are impressive in their accuracy potential (the rifles as well as the ladies, I mean...).
Which .22 are you training with? Sounds like you're getting (or rather, have gotten) pretty good... My trainer .22 is a standard Browning Buckmark.
Browning High-Power 9mm for Chrismas? Nah-- they make for some LAZY shooters-- they're
too easy to hit with!
Given these last two paragraphs, I sound like quite a Browning man. Hmmmmm.... never thought of myself as such. I do love those two models, though.

Will you, too, be one who stands in the gap?
