We went to the Arms Room a couple weeks ago to find a good semi for our CHL class. The folks there helped a lot; I have long experience with rifles, but had never shot a pistol before, and we have only begun to handle a revolver in the past few weeks. Based on the grip, and recent experience with our .357Mag, Mrs. OldSchool picked out our new pistol, a .45 Glock 36. She picked it up last Monday, and we spent Friday afternoon with the G36 and the .357. Outside of an occasional FTF (due to a hitch in the extended slide lock lever put on for us, which I think will work itself out in time -- looks like it's rubbing against the frame), we both had a lot of fun with both toys. And, of course, I haven't heard the end of her first bullseye at 15 yards!
Afterward, she field stripped, cleaned and lubed the G36, then successfully reassembled.
Today, even with recurring FTF issues, she qualified for her CHL (thanks, Charles, et al!!)!
She just now finished another quick job of cleaning the pistol.
I see more training in our future, besides the weekly practice....
Wonder what toy she'll buy next for me?
Also, thanks to all on this forum who have given us advice and encouragement. Now all we have to do is send the papers and begin sitting in the Waiting Room.
And not to mention that new pistol!
