I haven't been able to get the Wife to carry yet, as she still says that she's not a good enough shot, and she worries about hitting the wrong target if presented with a bad situation.
As we were preparing to go out to dinner with some friends last night, I decided that I would carry one of my 1911's instead of my H&K, as the 1911 is much thinner. I then realized that the Wife had never actually shot either of them.
I unholstered it, dropped the mag and cleared the round, and asked her to hold it and tell me how it felt.
She has her own CZ-75 that fits her hands very nice, but when she took the 1911, made sure it was empty and then dropped the slide she said it felt really good in her hands. Then the fun began.
I flicked the switch for the built in CT laser sights and told her to gently squeeze the pad at the front of the handle. The look on her face was awesome.
I now think that I might be able to use the sights as another training tool for her to help her get more comfortable with her shooting. We go out quite a bit, but she's still very uncomfortable shooting around other people she doesn't know. Time will tell, but it was a positive experience.
