Hmm, loading up some 'powder puff' rounds is an option, I've got Bullseye, I think there are some 125gr LSWC laying around. MaxS, I've already installed the Apex Duty/Carry trigger kit in it, she learned racking skills going around to gun shows trying out different guns. Racking the slide was one of the main features she was looking for. In time we realized that a gun that she had trouble with, two gun shows later, she racked it just fine. Finally occurred to us that she had figured the technique out. Guys generally can just muscle their way through, women need to learn how to do it correctly, she did. She borrowed a Shield from one of my daughters, shot it a bunch yesterday, no problems racking the slide. It's still new, maybe 400 rounds through it including the nearly 200 yesterday. SundownIII, are wadcutters softer shooting than semi wadcutters?
