That’s a mighty big, heavy pistol for a girl...

I know! My NRA instructor told me after the class that she was shocked when I told her what kind of gun I had. She said most women have .22s and .38s.
But, she didnt want to plant the seed in my head that it would be too much gun for me. So, I never knew any better and learned to shoot with it.
Its very heavy and the weight soaked up a lot of recoil. But, after getting proficient with that pup, everything else was easy! I spent a lot of time on the range with my beloved Megastar. Very dependable gun.
Great choice for home defense. I was single and living alone in those days. A former beau talked me into buying it. He never warned me about it either.
