Took my 10 year old granddaughter and daughter to the range today and let the little one shoot the M&P 1522. She really likes the weapon. She did very well for her first time shooting the 22 at a range. Had a little trouble at first with the sight picture and breathing but towards the end she was getting it. Can't wait to get her back there again. I enjoy watching her have fun because she really loves to shoot. Maybe she'll get as good with the 22 as she is with her pellet gun.
