Thank you everyone. You have given me some great ideas to try. I will try them all at some point. The suggestion of practice, practice, practice is first on my list. The only problem right now, and I am assuming that most of you have the same problem, is ammo accessibility. Here in rural SW...

I'm pretty excited. Because none of you thought I was crazy, I brought home my Mark IV Talo Hunter on Thursday. Because of heat and humidity, I didn't get to shoot it until yesterday. Oh, what an awesome 22. Between me and my husband, we shot about 150 rounds. And my hands didn't get...

Ahhh! Thanks.

So thank you to all. I have just ordered my Mark iv Hunter. And I no longer feel crazy, just very excited to get it.

Thank you Uncle Howie. I like the idea of being a Cool Grandma.

I have a SR 22lr with the 4.5" barrel that I have gotten fairly good with. I'm excited that I have a Mark iv Target coming (on backorder). But today in the gun shop I saw a Ruger Mark iv Hunter. And I really want it too. The question I have... Is the Hunter too much like the Target? Will it...

I am so new to guns, so I have a lot of questions. This one has to do with target shooting in cold weather. My husband has rifles and has hunted for years, so I know that they are not affected by cold when shooting. But I have my LC9s and a SR22 and like to shoot target a lot. Here in SW...

I seem to be constantly thanking all of you. I wish you were my neighbors, so I could just run over and ask questions. I am going to go back for the 1st Advanced Basic Defense class. And I have found an all women group that is about an hour east from me that shoots for 3 months in the fall...

Such wonderful advice from all of you. To update...I now have my LC9s in possession and have shot it a few times. I am using Hornady Critical Defense (thank you GunnyGene). I love the Cornered Cat web site and have just started looking at Well Armed Woman web site. Now I need to Practice...

Thank you all. I read all your replies and went out and shot the LC9s yesterday. It did kick just a bit more than the SR9c, but not enough to bother me. It felt wonderful in my hand and I had no trouble racking the slide. So I put some money down on a new one and will be picking it up soon...

Thanks to steveodtw and Larry from Bend. Great advice from both of you. I am heading up to a different gun shop tomorrow and he has a used LC9s he said he'd let me try. And Larry from Bend.... you don't sound condescending. I am very new to having my own guns and learning to use them...

I just finished my Permit to Carry class. Yes, I passed. I am shooting a SR22 4.5 barrel right now but want to move into a 9mm. I had the opportunity to shoot the SR9c and liked it, even though it felt a bit heavy. (Remember, senior lady here.) I have also held the LC9s and loved the feel...
