Thanks for the recommendation Drew... I'm pretty sure the Springfield XD 9mm is the one my wife was leaning towards. My sister has a .40 Springfield that she really likes....

(I wonder if I should be worried with all the women I know being armed??? Guess I better be careful not to tick them off! lol)

There is a nice gun shop in Sioux Falls with an indoor range. They've got quite a few demo guns you can try out before buying. The wife and I are planning to do that sometime so she can figure out what she wants.
There is a place down here called the Bullet Hole, that has the same deal. I took the wife there once, but she didn't stay on the range, too loud for her!

For our anniversary three years ago my wife wanted to shoot a gun, so I arranged for shooting lessons for her, she loved it.

My wife will shoot if we're outside. We went to her brother's place, and she shot my 9. She had a blast! She just doesn't like the inside range.

I'm having a hard time on the indoor range with the lighting, etc... I can actually hit my targets when I'm outside. But inside, I'm all over the place. It's the first time I've ever tried an indoor range, so I'm hoping I'll get it figured out.

Rob, have them turn the lights on next time you go. You'll find it much easier to shoot that way.....

Whenever I go to the range, the first thing I do is go through my "stress relief" exercise. I load 15 rounds in the Berretta's mag, and pop them off as fast as possible, not worrying about my aim. It's amazing how much better I feel after that!
