The 45's HURT. Thats for sure.

My wife is loving hers BUT she has 1/16 inch self adhesive foam from wally crafts dept and she wraps her handle with it. Then on goes the Houge Beavertail over that. Then xacto off the excess foam thats sticking out. Now it doesnt give her any trouble at all. Has her Shield9 set up that way too (with a handall Jr.)

She DOES get tired after about 150rds. Had 2 FTL's in 250rds and she called em on herself. (at the end of the day)
