Santa’s AWESOME!
My wife and I just picked up our Class A LTC’s this past weekend - very excited especially since we live in Massachusetts and expected a humongous ass-ache. The first thing we did was make a b-line to our local armory to enquire about the Taurus ‘Judge’. Anybody have any thoughts and opinions on this model? The cover of the latest NRA Rifleman magazine features it and the write-up for it was very favorable. Any first-hand experiences out there?
LOL.
Ain't nothing sexier than a woman with a gun in her hand. Provided it's not pointed at me, that is.
My daughter and I are going tomorrow when she gets home from school to break in the new Sig 232.
Yep.
Bought the wife a Ruger 22/45 (Mark 2). She groups real nice at 15 yeards indoor.
Some of the best money I ever spent; range time is ‘quality time” (AKA a date)!
A while ago someone askede her if she wanted to shoot a S&W BFR .50. Nearly took her thumbnail off but she actually got on paper at 25 yards!
Got my wife a Walther P22. She absolutely LOVES it. Now, she wants a Sig P232 for carry.

Ain't that the truth!
I haven't fired the Judge but I've fired a lot of Taurus revolvers.
If at all possible, try to shoot it before you buy it.
A revolver made by any of the larger manufacturers is going to generally be ok quality-wise, so how it feels in your hand and how you perceive the recoil are going to be much bigger factors in how happy you are with your purchase.
We looked at several Taurus, Smith and Charter Arms revolvers before we settled on the Ruger and that was a happy accident.
We went looking for a particular kind of weapon for Mrs. Knitebane. It had to be a revolver, less than a 3 inch barrel, either hammerless or shrouded hammer and in .357 caliber.
We had pretty much made up our minds on either a J-Frame Smith or a Taurus when we came across the Ruger SP-101. I have a special place in my heart for Rugers since my first large caliber revolver was a Security Six but I wasn't aware that Ruger made a hammerless six gun.
That it came from the factory with Crimson Trace lasergrips was a definite plus and we jumped on it.
SP-101 with a crimson trace?
Isnt that offered as a special ruger package gun?
My dear saintly mother is getting an old school smith and wesson chief’s special thurs morning..Just like the one dad has.
that’s because in most cases, women dont have those bad habits they need to unlearn...thats why they tend to become good shots.
Rule one, never point the gun at your husband.

Yes!
We had plenty of women competing in both center fire and rim fire competitions (alternate weeks). The women were very competitive. Often one of them would have the top score for the evening.
.44 Mag is ok for a few rounds but it is too much for me to do much more than empty a cylinder.
The great philosopher Harold Callahan once said that a man has got to know his own limitations and .44 Mag is pushing mine!
That’s a really hot Bulgarian....
My wife chases cans all over the yard with her P22. It used to be mine. I had to get another one just so I could plink too.
Sig 232 How do you llke it ? A couple of times the round got hung up going from mag to barrel when you put a loaded mag in.
As a cetified instructor of firearms and martial arts I can say without hesitation, women make the BEST students!
Every city and town needs these indoor shooting ranges. Shooting is a great family sport. It would most likley put bowling in second place during the winter months.
But most of all people could learn firearm saftey in a safe enviroment.
