I finally bought a handgun.

I taught my daughter how to shoot when she was about 8, but we haven't gone shooting for about a year. She's a lethal weapon. She can group as well or better than her Dad.
It's Fall here in PA now, and that's shooting time, and I want to take the baby girl shooting. She's big enough to handle the 9mm now, she's learned how to shoot on a .22 Ruger.
Grice's (a great big gun shop right over the hill from here) had a big sale this month.
I landed this Smith & Wesson Sigma SW9VE, holster, and 500 rounds of 9mm frangible ammo for under 400 bucks.
So far I burned up 250 rounds.
At 30 feet I can put 14 out of 15 in a 6" group 100% of the time, rapid firing (about 15 seconds for 15 rounds). The gun is perfectly balanced for me, the recoil is perfect, and the sights settle in before I'm even ready to bark another round off. I have to slow myself down.
At 30 yards, I can only put about 6 or 7 out of 15 in a 6" group.
I'm gonna try to talk my little brother into running across the range with a paper plate on a stick and see how I do.
Anyways, here she is...

Very nice Scott! Having a CCW permit is a great insurance policy. Nice choice of gun too. How are you going to carry it? In waist band (WB) or outside waste band (OWB)

Very nice Scott. I've got a little Acutek .380 that was gifted to me years ago and I've wanted to get something more substantial but my money keeps finding it's way to more cigars first.

Aren't those green bullets made of kryptonite in case Superman turns evil again like in Part III?

That holster in the first pic has a belt clip. It works well.
I won't be carrying it around.
If I need it in case any of the town junkies start crawling through the windows, I feel good knowing I can dump a pound of lead in their melon before they get all the way in.

Also works on Zombies as well. Nice choice.
