Yesterday I had the privilege of taking my brother-in-law to the range for his first time ever shooting handguns.
He is a Canadian and a missionary in West Africa. He, my sister-in-law (my wife's sister - as American as can be) and the kids are here until after Christmas.
Recently my sister-in-law mentioned he wanted to go shooting before they went back so I had to make it happen
He said he had shot a rifle and a shotgun once.
Made sure I had plenty of ammo and safety gear and took him to my indoor club.
Started him off on a Heritage Rough Rider 22 and then on a ATI/GSG 1911-22. He did pretty well with those.
Moved up to a Glock 17 and he did pretty good. Then I had him shoot my Hellcat Pro - found out my red dot battery died already, just got it shortly after father's day - he shot pretty well with that, though.
Started to run out of time - had to get dinner and then to a hockey game, so I had him put a few rounds through my Kimber Custom 2 in 45 and then to finish my Hi Point JXP10MM - interestingly, he had his one and only bullseye with the Hi Point
During the hockey game, I asked what is favorite was - he said the 1911-22 (which is definitely one of my favorites) and the Glock - that one hurt a little LOL.

. .44 Super Blackhawk 4 3/4”. I fired 6 (moderate .44 Special in Magnum brass, 180 grain cast pill) Boom, Boom etc. when it was empty I said Fred, you wanna try (I knew he did). Warm .44 Magnum with 240 grain cast (the next 6in the box
). “ hold on Fred, it kicks pretty good”. KERBLAM, KERBLAM, etc. He fired the 6. I reloaded the next 6 (original Special load) shot one handed -Boom, Boom, etc. Fred knows he’s been had and says “alright what are you doing”
