She later nicknamed that Smith and Wesson Model 640 Smithy and now claims it as her own. In fact, she wont let me shoot it without her express permission. *sigh* All of the good ones are taken.

My wife joined us boys for a bit of trap-shooting the day before the wedding. She shoots in the upper teens (out of 25).

I have one gun, I use it for shooting snakes and crows. I just don't feel comfortable at all with a firearm --
But the only time my husband ever took me target shooting was right after we married almost 32 years ago, and I was a better shot than he, at the time. And it was fun.

My wife and I played out our version of "extremism" at the range yesterday. I was trying out my new 275 gr 500 S&W loads in the T/C Encore Katahdin 20" 500 S&W barrel. My wife was on the table next to me shooting 17M2 from her Magnum Research rifle. The wimpy 17M2 next to the S&W 500 Magnum. My shoulder was quite aware of the difference. My Christmas present will be Savage MKII-FV in 17M2 topped with a BSA Sweet 17 Mach II scope so we can both shoot for the smallest group with no shoulder pain :-) She's currently leaving 1 inch groups at 100 yds. The rifle is capable of 0.3". I prefer the Savage precision trigger to the lengthy creep on the Ruger type trigger mechanism.
I was an avid rabbit hunter in high school. My wife is a master falconer. She normally gets her rabbits with a Red Tail hawk. The 17M2 is a fine rabbit/squirrel rifle. The rabbit population is returning in southeast Idaho.

I was shooting at the Interservice Rifle Championships many years ago and my girlfriend insisted on coming to watch. It was a typical Quantico summer day, hot, muggy, and plenty of insects.
I was on the line getting ready and one of my buddies asked if the girl back there was my fiance. I told him no, but that if she was still there by the end of the day there was a good chance she would be. We've been married 14 years now.

Mrs. L's is (obvioulsy) the Stainless model with a 4" barrel. With the right load it's very controllable and comfortable to shoot.
She likes big bore revolvers so much she bought herself one of those little Taurus 5 shot .44 spcl. Since I already had .44 dies, it's no big deal.
A couple years back I volunteered to sweep up at a gun range that was going out of business as long as I could keep the brass.
I ended up with a couple thousand .44 mag cases and half that many .44 spcl cases. I haven't had to buy any since then.
BTW, Mrs. L calls her 629 "Sweetheart". God I love that woman.
I've got to quite buying stainless firearms. She took one look at my Stainless Ranch Mini-14 and gave me that "I really want this, honey" look. Needless to say that one is now hers as well.
I put one of those little BSA Red Dot sights on it for her and it's a 'minute of pie plate' at 100 yards. Plus it goes 'bang' every time she pulls the trigger. Can't argue with that.

Jefferson:
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... such laws serve rather to encourage than to prevent homocides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. ('Commonplace Book' 1775)

Hey Mike S. Adams - I'm a lefty, buy ME a gun for Christmas. What? You say I'm not a lefty - well ok, I shoot right handed, but I can stand to your left. Huh, that doesn't count either?
But, but - I'll vote democrat if you don't buy me a gun. What's that you say? You know I couldn't possibly do that because you know about my gun collection? How'd you know about that?
OK,OK - I just thought as long as you were being generous... and I'm not too comfy about seeing a gun in the hands of a liberal, anyway. Yeah, it might work - but don't you remember that picture of John 'I was in Viet Nam' Kerry where he was fixing the sling on his rifle and it was pointed at his head? Man, what a doofus.
Happy huntin', Mike.
