Range Time
Took the wife out shooting recently. Let her have the opportunity to fire the Ruger Mk III (22), the Walther P22 (22), the Bersa Thunder (380) and the Beretta 92FS (9mm).
She’d had an introduction to the Bersa and Beretta at least in function (not in live fire exercises). We worked with them at the house with the laser trainers (both LaserLyte and Laser Ammo) so she could get used to the function, the trigger, sight picture, etc.
I thought she’d like the Bersa the best since it has minimal recoil (because it is based on the Walther PPK), and the fact that it fit her hands extremely well. But that wasn’t the case. Her favorite gun of the day was the Beretta, even with the 124gr NATO ammunition. I thought that due to her smaller hands that she would have a hard time gripping the Beretta properly, but not so.
