[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2585694, member: 13337"] I'm taking a young lady to H&H to look at handguns his weekend,,, I doubt she will buy her gun on this trip,,, Gun fondling is our goal this time. She asked some friends what would be a good gun for her,,, Naturally they all had suggestions for her,,, Usually it was because they had one. So I'm going to take a different tack with helping her,,, Even though I have a few guns in mind,,, I won't recommend any of them. I have a few criteria for to pay attention to. We are going to have her hold as many guns as she can,,, As she holds them I/we will be looking for these three things: [LIST] [*]Can she operate the mag release without shifting her grip. [*]Can she operate the slide release without shifting her grip. [*]Can she operate the safety switch without shifting her grip. [/LIST] My take on shooting is that if the gun doesn't fit your hand,,, You may develop some proficiency with that gun,,, But you will never [U]become one with it[/U]. I believe that a person who is [U]one[/U] with their .22,,, Is more dangerous that someone who is clumsy with their .45. So after we make a list of possible guns based on those three criteria,,, Then we start looking at the working features and action type. I know that few people are going to agree completely with my method,,, But it seems so obvious that a good hand to gun fit is essential. For one thing if it doesn't fit well,,, They probably won't practice with it very much,,, And one thing we should be able to agree on is that practice is essential. We shouldn't have any difficulty,,, Discovering a nice selection to choose from,,, She has small hands but single-stack 380's and 9's abound. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
