I took my daughter to the range yeasterday for some trigger time with a 243. She's going hunting this year as a "mentored Youth". Pennsylvania started this program a few years ago. Anyway, after the barrel got hot in the243, I asked her if She wanted to try My 270. I almost fell over when She said yes. After a few rounds of the 270, I JOKINGLY asked Her if She wanted to shoot My Redhawk. She said sure. She didn't hit the target at 50 yards, but She did handle the recoil well. I am soooo proud!

Sureshot43, that is too cool! People don't give women & even young ladies like your daughter credit for being able to handle recoil. My wife is 5'2 & a little over 100 pounds & can shoot her SRH 44 all day, with any load. Never once will she complain about recoil. I can't say that about a lot of my other friends.

Looks like you raised her right.

Last spring she shot My SP101 with .357's not .38's and at 7 yards every shot was a "kill shot". Again, never even mentioned recoil.

Congrats. Sounds like it's time for her own Blackhawk. I had a boy about the same age shoot my 44 SBH with the same results.

Funny You say that Okie, A friend of mine is considering selling his SBH.

If you get it and she doesn't like it let her hunt with the 357 and use the 44 yourself.
