OT-What are you buying right now?

Glock also makes single stack 9 mms. It might be that the grip size is the problem. See if you can rent both for her to try.

I think you will enjoy this.  We have the non- air fry model and use it constantly- cooked this chicken in it tonight ..

Wow - not even 1pound!

May be best to find a range that rents handguns, so the lady can choose for herself which type and caliber suits her.  Don't choose for her, remember all those gifts you have received that didn't fit, weren't the right color or design?

Had the same issue with my wife. I wanted her to get single stack Glock. Ended up leaving with a Kahr T9. Stainless with rosewood grips. A sweet little single stack 9mm. She shoots it very well

And you can run +p's through it. Twice the pressure of 9mm

rifrench

SAAMI max chamber pressure for 9mm= 35,000 PSI, 9mm+P 38,500 PSI.

My mistake I had that backwards.

It's double action only, but not having an exposed hammer let's you fire it in your jacket pocket or a purse (European man-purse, of course)...

Also, there's a custom fit grip with the crimson trace laser built in.  That doesn't work in a purse or pocket.

I ended up with a Glock 21 with that feature in a trade. Glad it was a free.

Shopping for a new remote freezer alarm after three false alarms (all between the hours of 1 and 3am of course) over the last month.  It woke me up last night at 3 saying the freezer was 63 degrees.  Run out to the garage and everything is frozen solid.  Ideally it would have two sensors, 1 for in the house and 2nd for garage freezer.  Any recommendations?

You can actually buy 38 shorts for the revolver. Locals use them for training the ladies until they get used to trigger pull and recoil and noise.

Is your freezer an auto defrost by chance?

Yes, which is why I have it set to alarm at 32 degrees.  The thermometer has been showing between 62-64 degrees for the last 12 hours.  It's messed up.

Had one too many people ring my bell last year shooting over my head..almost all my friends are 6' + and I'm 5'8..one of those guys is going with us on our annual teal hunting excursion this year....

So ordered these digital ear plugs..auto shutoff above 90 decibles..

Kinda look like candy corn!   Have you tried them out yet?  I need something like that for shooting.

I use the same thing; but in earmuff form at the range. They work well. Price varies from about $50 all the way to $300. 

DuckDogDr

Haven't gotten to try them out yet. Been raining today and supposed to tomorrow as well...
Maybe next week..did test the fit though

Downspout pop ups, replacing fence posts that got snapped by the derecho, and prep for landscape rock.

This is discontinued, so I'm not buying it.  Which is a good thing.

The on-board camera footage really blew me away; that hobby has come so far since my 1975 Heathkit....

Thanks for the link - when I was a child, I had one of those Cox planes that you flew in circles holding a string line. I thought it was amazing at the time, but nothing like that technology.  I also had a cox powered dune buggy.  That thing was crazy.  You started the motor and let it loose with no idea where it would go.  We would just chase after it.  Good memories.

Heh, I was well-steeped in the Cox .049 world, and "control line"!  I built sort of a "dune buggy" in Jr. High shop class, built out of spot-welded sheet metal and wood parts; it was a trike with a single steerable front wheel, propelled by the rear-mounted .049 with a prop.  
It went straight pretty good.  As soon as I tried to turn it, via R/C, it would immediately roll and break the prop!  (I learned a bit more about "center of gravity" in high school)  
Good Times!
