I signed my wife up for a basic firearms class and a CPL (Concealed Pistol License) class for January at our local range/gun shop. I also bought her a Ruger LCP in .380ACP since her hands are too small for my pistols. The instructor is fantastic and I've known her for awhile. The classes are "women only" and my wife's friend is taking the same classes, so there's less "intimidation" for them. I'll take Beth to the same range and get her familiar with her new pistol after Christmas and we'll break-in the Ruger LCP.

Beth can't handle anything larger from a carry perspective and I've shot the Ruger LCP myself and I believe it will be right for her. I reload .380 so we'll have plenty of range ammo and I have quite a bit of high quality commercial ammo for carrying purposes.

Beth and I can now go to the range together and that will make the weekly target shooting even more enjoyable as we like to do things together... She bought me a Beretta 92FS for Christmas 13 years ago and now I'm returning the favor with the "baby" Ruger!
