very cool, Dirty Harry's got nothing on her! I'm glad she had the guts to try it out. it's just an individual thing, my middle son when he was 12 loved shooting my 44 but my 14yr old couldn't handle a 243 rifle. My youngest now 17 but not very big was having a blast with my 454, 475's and 500 Linebaugh's all with full house loads and more than that he was hitting what he aimed at.

Have fun at the CCW class, give her the 44 to pack. I'd like to see the look on some punks face when she pulled out that hog leg, but she has to remember to say "go ahead, make my day"

My TC Encore is abolutely fun to shoot in 44mag. The single shot keeps you shooting a little slower so I aim better and hit more of what I aim at.
