Hope I did this right! Video of Perry and a blogger at the range. I did a search and didn't find this posted. While I have no position on Perry and am not affiliated with the blogger this was kinda cool.

He should have told her not to put her thumb behind the slide. She’s gonna get bit some day.

Beat me to it. He corrected her once, but only once.

Hey, that’s great. Can you identify the Ruger model shown in the vid?

They run about $300 ($450 with CT laser guard). I own one and can't imagine a pistol any smaller that is still controllable.

Note: The LCP is a cosmetic “copy” of the Kel-Tec P3AT which runs $225-$250.

It is my everyday all-season carry weapon. Fits nicely into a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster and takes up about as much room in my front pocket as a wallet. Unless you already have small hands (mine are medium), it takes some practice to shoot comfortable but can easily be done.

Surprised she didn’t take her thumb off with how it was placed.

He corrected her thumb in the dry fire but in the live fire she reverted to a position that can really, really, hurt if the slide catches it.

But, good for her.

I've noticed Anna's absence from FR for almost an entire year.
