Smile Qualifications-Made it!!

Hi:
Waited several hours for my turn to qualify yesterday (Saturday).
Lots of huddles to content with. Weather was cold and wet. Mistakely brought my wife's Model 25-2 with a 4" barrel, TH, TT, Hogue Grips. First two rounds with Winchester 230gr FMJ were "mis-fires". Later took the two "mis-fires" out of the Ranch Products steel full moon clip and they fired perfectly.
Wife showed up and was allowed to fire the qualification course using my Model 625-6 with standard hammer, trigger, and Hogue stocks.(what I had meant to use)
She shot a 100% and I shot a 98%.
The Girl has always been stronger and tougher then me and now she is a better shot.
HELP!!
Jimmy

You two did great!

She did a great job shooting and you did a great job picking her for a wife!

jimmyj:

Congrats on (re)qualifying.

With regard to Mrs. jimmyj, I guess you could always ask her for tips....

Yet another reason not to get too pushy with your better half!
I've always been very proud of my Wife's shooting abilities. (Don't tell anyone, but she's way better than her brother-shhh?)
Please tell her congratulations from both of us...
