Some men want a woman that they can take care of, and I can see that, but I want a woman that is also a competent partner that can carry her weight, and then some!
Women and guns are a winning combination for me.
Handguns are a girl's best friend!!"
Women that are comfortable with weapons are in short supply ,, they can be assured of serious attention on dating websites.
Every woman should know how to shoot. Women in general are better shots that men because they have better fine muscle control. If you go back in time in America, most women could shoot and shoot well. Think foxes, chicken hawks, and hen houses for an example.
In today’s world “An armed woman is a rapists greatest nightmare.” Teach your daughters to shoot.

Here’s a question for a competent woman who likes guns.
I sent away to Wolff for a stronger 16 lb. slide recoil spring, since I’m using only FMJ .45 and they recommend it for this make & model. I’ve read that the factory 13 lb. spring can cause a broken slide stop. Ordinarily I would go with what the manufacturer installs, but I also replaced the guide rod since it was plastic (!).
.45 FMJ: Let’s not go there, OK?
So it arrived the other day and I installed it. However nothing was said (that I recall) about a new hammer spring, and I didn’t know they would be sending a new hammer spring as well. Should I replace the hammer spring?
(Keep in mind that I don’t want to, and you can’t make me, sister. So there.)
It is always nice to have some spare parts!
Perhaps some of our many knowledgeable freepers can answer the question more completely.
I think my wife is very sexy on the range. (and most other times too!) When she is concentrating, sighting down her S&W... Doesn’t matter what she’s wearing, stance/pose... She’s sexy.
Man, this thread could use some pictures.
Bring sexual equality since 1839 (Patterson Colt).
Making people into citizens since 1775.
An insurance policy that protects one before being victimized.
Is the corollary, then, that you have to be fat and ugly to like guns? It is so not the case. Sarah Palin. I rest my case.
It’s infinitely harder to rape a woman when she’s pointing a gun at you.
Pray for America
Not at all. A woman who is very attractive becomes even more attractive. It is an additive quality.
Fat, ugly, and attractive are rather subjective quantities.
No, they’re quite objective!
As a former platoon leader and company commander, I made the following observation, which admittedly is a broad generalization. Many male soldiers came into the Army having some level of exposure to firearms, and while a handful were highly proficient, many had spent their youth reinforcing bad shooting habits, and would come to BRM classes and the qualification range thinking they already knew everything. Most young female soldiers had little to no exposure to firearms, and approached with a degree of alert apprehension, fully willing to listen to every single word their NCOs told them. They were essentially blank slates, had no bad habits, and came to the range (or weaponeer) fully willing to execute precisely as they had been taught.
Again...broad generalities, but enough to make an impression on me.
depending on the gun, recoil is managed by both the recoil spring and the hammer spring. if you’re putting in a higher rate recoil spring you may need a lower rate hammer spring to retain the same overall spring rates. this is for guns with hammers, guns that are striker fired are different.
I agree with that. I don't know what it is outside of the obvious common interest. The eyes are more likely to wander when it comes to ladies with guns.
Interesting the girls shoot body-facing the target rather than tactically (body-angled). Conscious choice or are they simply more comfortable that way?
