Slaughtered Santa, Sorry Kids...

[dats82]

I bough my wife a new LCP recently.  I decided to go run a few rounds through it before I turned it over to her.  All I had for a target was Santa.  I placed him at about 7-10 yards and let them fly.

My wife wears scrubs on most days at work and wanted something that could be easily carried with scrubs.  I installed a pocket clip on it, so she can clip it in her waistband.  She's not going to enjoy shooting it, but these guns were never intended to be shot much.  I have one that I've shot a decent amount, and they can be surprisingly accurate for what they are.

I had one, not in pink, that I used for pocket carry for years. I liked it a lot. Then started carrying in a belt slide holster. That made it even better.

 

But then discovered the Shield. The little Ruger is now in a hideout at home.

I shoot mine quite a bit, and don't feel the recoil is all that bad. You're correct; they are quite accurate with a bit of practice and getting used to the trigger.

Quote    "She's not going to enjoy shooting it, but these guns were never intended to be shot much."  If she ever does need to shoot it in defense of herself or others you can bet the adrenal will be so high that she won't notice any of the recoil or trigger pull of the gun. If it gets the job done that is what counts....................jmho
