[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1976959, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]We (wife, youngest son, and myself) went to H&H today to try out our new Springfield XDS 45's. Got quite a kick out of shooting that little thing, but I definitely need more practice. This is the wife's first .45, and after I shot, she asked me about the recoil. I told her "firm grip," but I think it almost intimidated her. (I had one light strike with the firing pin and had to remove and replace to fire again.) Then, she stepped up and fired off about 30 rounds. When finished, she told me that she felt that I had "tried to put the fear of....." into her. She actually did very well, both with handling the XDS and hitting the target as well. She doesn't really aim as she is right handed but can't close her left eye independently. So, she just points and shoots. As for the expended brass, I need to remember to wear my hat next time. While the wife was shooting, I was on the floor in the next lane picking up expended brass for a friend of ours at church. I kept getting beaned on the top of the head from her ejecting brass. If I don't remember to wear a hat, I guess I need to get a wig. Too bad we couldn't have an opportunity to shoot with BB. She is the one person here on OSA that I would definitely like to meet.
