    Damn, the kid can shoot. 40 rounds into a 7” plate at 15 yards with a Glock 19 and 35 of 40 into a 7” plate at 25 yards with an AR clone.

          Regardless of the nattering nabobs of negativity, the boy has talent.

          Might want to look into some training and club level competition.

            As I've mentioned, I own zero firearms, but I think I would enjoy shooting, just for the sport of it. There's a range about a mile and a half from my home.

            What's the cost of doing something like you described, for a total newbie like me (no license, no nothin' here)?

              Trivial for you.

              I did some shooting last Vegas trip. It was fun.

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                Don't have a clue about range costs, as I just walk out the door and shoot. Benefit of living on the rural route.😊

                You don't need a license if you use a range gun and I'm sure they have several. If you don't want to learn a complicated manual of arms, start with a revolver or something like a Glock. If you would rather, a .22 won't have the blast or recoil and ammo is much cheaper and that's what I've always started neophytes on. If you've never shot before, inquire about a newbie class...With all the new owners, bound to be some in your area.

                That's handguns. You may prefer longarms.

                And if you like shooting enough, you may even want to compete. You'd be a natural for SASS.

                    A lot cheaper than what I paid, but I was in Vegas.

                    Though we had a greater selection. But again, it was in Vegas. They had a thriving business of tourists like me.

                      The money you lose in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

                      Education is extremely important.

                        @jon-nyc the selection I showed is only about 1/5 of the list...

                        The complete list has over 170 firearms.

                        Here's a more representative sampling (still not complete).

                            Just asking for a friend....

                            If somebody was married to a lady with arthritis, and they would like for her to be able to handle a handgun, how strong are her hands?

                                We spent $25 for the range time, $25 for the gun rental, and ALOT on ammo.

                                      The Shield EZ is a bigger gun with a grip safety and a easy to jack slide. It's softer shooting than the Ruger.

                                      Having said that... I like the LCP. I carry one a lot. I have the first edition, not the second and the LCP II has the better trigger. A couple of things...The gun does not like to be limp-wristed and it helps to "slingshot" the slide when putting it into battery. As with any of the pocket rockets, it may have a particular ammo it really prefers...I use Hornady Critical Defense, but hers may like something else.

                                      I think she'll like it.
