I took a friend who has very little experience with firearms to the range and decided it was time to get over her fear of “big guns.”
Just to be clear, in this photo are a Sig Sauer p229 in .40 S&W and a Smith & Wesson J frame .38 Special. Let’s all take a moment to realize what this 120lb 5’6″ girl was about to take on.
Just one more perspective… On the right is a .40 S&W, in the center is a .38 Special, and on the left is the S&W 500 Magnum cartridge. That particular one was loaded with a 700 grain bullet. That’s right, literally 1/10 of a pound of lead. The .40 S&W is loaded with 165 grain, the .38 Special is loaded with 158 grain. Cor-Bon and S&W got together and created one bad momma.
