Well, due to weather, bad scheduling, Dr's appts, and other assorted events, it wasn't until last Tuesday we were able to get to the range with her new 'Equalizer'. But boy was it worth it. She was like a kid with a new toy. Loadin', rackin', shootin', etc. We went through about 60+ rounds on her first day with it and it was all goin' great ... then started hurtin' some so we quit and came home. But she was ready to go again Thursday. So back we went to the range again. Went through almost 100 rounds before she'd had enough. I cleaned/lubed it all for her last Tuesday, then we worked together yesterday after we got home to clean/lube it. She wanted to learn since she truly feels responsible for the gun now that she can work it completely. The 'Equalizer' is a little finiky in that to break it down you mustn't touch the grip safety when removing the slide. Her hands are so small it was a little difficult for her to make it all happen at first, but she finally figured out a process that works for her. So, she field stripped it, cleaned/lubed it, reassembled it, and is ready to go to the range again. All said and done ... she loves her new 'Equalizer'!!!
