My Zombie-killing girlfriend - 1911-A1 Long Slide

[Warchild]

SCENARIO: I took a 46-year-old female to the shooting range last Tuesday. She has never been to a gun range before, and has never fired a handgun before, so I thought I would start her off gentle.... using my new stainless Springfield Armory 1911-A1 Long Slide!

All's I can say is.... it is Bad News to be on the receiving end of her sights!

Awesome! I take it she'll do that again...

 

[BlondeOnaBusa]

Awesome!!

Looks like she did well and didn't flinch much.
Please do not let her hold it like that again.
With her left thumb up and over the back like that the slide will come back and the bottom of it will slice the web between thumb and first finger, bad. I promise it will happen. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen people slice themselves open like that. Her support hand and all fingers need to be down and forward.

Watch this for a few good tips..

:yes: Seen that plenty.

Blanca - what you say is correct, but the video angle is giving a misleading perspective. Her left thumb tends to go up to push against the ILS (Integral Locking System). Fortunately, the ILS is well below the slide action, so she's still okay, though it doesn't look like the case in the video.

She's also a right fair shot with my Browning 9mm. Here is her last 10 rounds of 9mm Parabellum at 75 feet... not too shabby!

Next up...Shotgun.

I see. If she holds that one like that she may hold all autos the same.
Not all will be so forgiving. Don't want to start her on any bad habits that may transfer to the wrong gun.
If she goes to shoot a .380 like that it will filet her.

Glock reset is so cool

I just bought an xdm 40. You think she might consider giving shooting lessons Warchild? Dang she did good.
