That's a sweet little rig right there!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on the fine pickup of such a beauty!!!!!!!!!

The Kel-tec P11
Took er to the dump today and run some lead through it, just to get a feel on it. Shot up some junk and kinda enjoyed it.
I'm pretty happy with it. I love the double action only, considering it a CCW. It's got the perfect size grip making it very comfortable.
The 9lb trigger pull coupled with the amount of travel the trigger has is a bit much though. You almost want to stick your finger further into the trigger guard after your about halfway through the trigger pull.

The Ruger P89
My oldest daughter wanted to send some up range too so she did. We brought the Ruger too, I think she likes the Ruger better.

Nice! Looks like she is having a good time.

One word of caution. Advise her NOT to place her left hand thumb on top of her strong hand. That slide will hurt when it bites. Thumbs should be parallel along the left side of the pistol.

I learned that little rule many, many years ago the hard way.

What Semp said.... seen more than one newbie with a chunk taken out of there thumb from laying it over like that

Good eye. I never noticed her doing that.
She's shot that one before, and I remind her every time she uses it that the slide is going to come back and grab another round before she even knows whether or not she hit her target. So she's careful to keep everything well under but I never paid much to the grip itself.

But the grip is one of the most important aspects of proper form.

Cool video Jim. She's a natural!!

Thanks for sharing & I'm glad you got out to enjoy the day with Katie & burn up some powder!!

Looks like a lot of fun for both of you.
