SHOOT LIKE A GIRL

12 Mistakes Men Make When Hunting with Women

My grandmother was such a good hunter she could take me, my brother and sister on a turkey hunt, walk about a mile off the road (we were 5, 6 and 8 at the time) gobble up a tom turkey, keep us kids interested and kill the damn turkey in one shot. So when men get weird about women hunting I tell them this story. The hard part is keeping kids that age entertained and quiet long enough to get the bird in range.

She shot coyote's on the farm at 500 yards across the creek to protect her guinea hens.

 

I get a few

 

A friend was talked into a smith feather weight 38 spl, and it hurt to shoot .I let her shoot my Ruger .357 mag and she immediately bought one, I didn't have to say any thing she felt the difference and was more encouraged to practice and save the smith for emergencies.
If your not going to practice with it, what's the point ?

 

I taught my sister handgun shooting, she has a pair of S&W SD9VE pistols. I reworked the triggers for her. She was so proud the first time she took out the center of her target before I took out the center of mine. I didn't have the heart to tell her it was because she had 15 round mags compared to my 6 shot revolver!

Now she can pick up anyone's handgun and shoot it well, often better than it's owner can. Her husband was astounded when she picked up his 40 S&W for the first time ever and shot it better than he did!

 

I have a lady friend who is very small, has very small hands, and can't handle a lot of recoil comfortably. Her solution was the PMR30. .22 Magnum may not be a traditional man stopper, but with 30 rounds in the magazine, eyeball accuracy, and the ability to make rapid follow-up shots there are few attackers who it wouldn't stop. The deep narrow wound channels would hurt so bad they'd want to stop.

It's not a 9MM, but I beat a bunch of three gun shooters with it at steel plate events. They hated me when I ran whole stages without reloading. A perfect dead center hit on a plate might not knock it down, but anywhere else on the plate and it was down. I never left one standing. I'll have to throw them on a scale, but I'd bet that the PMR30 with 90 rounds loaded in three mags weighs about the same as a 1911 with two loaded 8 rounders. Bianchi UM-84 Universal holster is a perfect fit, and High Speed Gear has a triple Taco mag pouch that holds the magazines snug. 30 rounds of pure evil little 40 grain JHP at 1200FPS is a nasty surprise.

If you can find somebody that'll let you try theirs I bet it'll make you smile. ;-)

 

The PMR30 isn't my cup 'o tea, but it is a fine pistol. I gave mine to my uncle a couple of years back. The main reason is when I shoot I like to shoot a lot. I can feed my MKII's for a lot less than the PMR. That being said, I know of three "little 'ol Ladies" in this area that own these for self defense. Loaded with quality HP's I've no doubt the PMR will do the job.

 

I wish .22 mag wasn't so expensive (Hell I wish lots o' things weren't so expensive) I have no experience with the PMR but can you imagine launching 30 rds of hollow points into a soft target at defensive ranges.

Have you looked at the Tagua Remora holster?

It's sticky (not icky sticky) on the outside and that's what retains it in your waist band. Strapless. No belt needed.

That woman carries her Ladysmith in one of these that is the size for a full size 1911. (Her other gun) It works well on and off body, and will stay in position between seat and console in the car. She tosses a dish towel over it, and nobody knows it's there.

 

I have seen it but not tried it... do you have a link with a picture...trying to picture of what you are thinking

 

Pretty good review here. That woman uses the larger Remora holster because it has a much larger surface area.

I'll stick with IWB holsters with rubber straps, but I always have a stout gun belt in my belt loops. That doesn't always work with women's fashions.

 

The nice thing about the PRM30 is the CMR30 carbine that takes the same mags and has a threaded barrel. A very light pistol and carbine combo. I don't think I'd want to go into combat with that, but in a GHB or BOB I can think of worse. .22 mag is expensive though, easily the same as 9mm and a 9mm carbine/pistol combo is a pretty neat deal even if it is heavier.
