Diamondback said:Kitty, if you're into shotgunning, you might find Guns Magazine's new Women's Guide to Shotgunning DVD with Shari LeGate helpful--just saw the ad for it in the Reality Check annual and immediately thought of you.

Might I suggest a P9S? They've been out of production for quite some time and thus can be difficult to procure. However, you should be able to find one in decent shape with 2 mags but no box for ~$500KittyT said:Once I procure a target pistol, i will likely join the Braintree Rifle and Pistol club, since many of the SAS gals are members there, and they need members for both their pistol and rifle teams.
Diamondback said:Also, I was taught not to fire at the end of exhale, but to let out half a breath, fire and finish as you follow-through.
Diamondback said:fftopic: Skeet, I was taught to shoot pistol as a "whole body affair"--legs widely spaced, torso bladed, strongside arm cantilevered straight out, weakside leg behind as a "structural brace" against recoil, basically it looks like a Bruce Lee punch only it has a gun sticking out of the hand.
Here again, this is just one person's technique although it comes from a respected if controversial instructor, and YMMV.

Undertow said:There's a name for this stance, although it escapes me at the moment. That's what I was taught as well, by a career police sgt. during my CCW class. It's more aggressive, you have better aim, and you're less likely to bend backwards as in the isosceles stance; not to mention you naturally provide less target space to be hit.
Undertow, I believe it's called "StressFire" or "Shotokan Punch"--those are the two terms that Mas Ayoob, the guy who introduced me to it, uses anyway.Undertow said:There's a name for this stance, although it escapes me at the moment.
