That is a sweet pistol. My wife is shoots a Ruger LPC. She loves it. It doesn't fit my hands, and I rather having something more substantial caliber-wise. But I took the family shooting this past weekend, and talked the wife into shooting my M9. She has been hesitant to shoot anything with a bigger bang than a .22 or .380 ACP. She liked shooting the 9mm. Next step is the 1911.
Funny thing, my daughters will shoot anything. They have no fear.
My 11 year old daughter shoots my XD .45 compact. She can hit cans at 15 yards at about 50% accuracy. She likes shooting the smaller calibers better but never passes up a chance to show off in mixed company.
