I taught my fiancee how to shoot a couple of months ago, on my Glock 23 with a 9mm conversion barrel. The first shot she was like, holy crap, that was more recoil than I was expecting. Next thing I knew, she was hitting bullseyes at 7-10yds and shooting better than I can lol. She has already expressed interest in taking a class to get her CCW too.

Best of all, she now wants to keep practicing, so my budget for monthly ammo has gone up quite a bit so that she can go to the range once every other week!

Congrats on getting your wife to shoot! Be prepared to have your gun budget double and somehow you get even less to spend on stuff!
