I don’t know how I did it but finally after 16 years of marriage I somehow got my wife to shoot a little last year. I don’t know if she decided one day she wanted to learn or if she wanted the challenge but early this summer I took her out and let her shoot several different pistols. My brother had a couple to have her try too. She liked the Ruger P89 (9mm) but she said it was so big and heavy. Long story short she saw a picture of a Sig Mosquito Pink Lady and fell in love with it. She then found out it is a .22 and could not take her CHL with it, she decided she wanted something bigger.
A few weeks ago I took her to the gun show in Houston and let her fondle all the different pistols and soon found that she was really undecided on what she wanted. It really had to be an accessory…but a deadly accessory. She loved the look of some of the custom 1911’s with the “pretty” grips but she is not real comfortable with .45. She kind of liked the little .380 pistols but thought they were too small. Had her try a XD but she didn’t like the safety built into the back of the grip…I know tried to explain but didn’t matter she didn’t like it and you are not talking her into liking it. Since I love my Glock 21 I had her try one of the concealed Glocks but she hated how all her fingers would not wrap around the grip….that’s is my complaint too but I didn’t tell her that first. So had her try a Glock 19 which is a midsized 9mm and she really loved it....but….”it’s black and has no bling!” After trying very hard not to roll my eyes again I told her we could duracoat it.
Well we found the http://gripreductions.com/ booth at the gun show and they had a couple Glock’s that were cerakote. She said one of the pistols done in pink and proceeded to talk to Dale Hunnicutt about pricing and time. She bought her pistol and dropped it off with Dale….and of course he talked her into the GLITTER finish too! We got it back a week later and I must admit that it is pretty. And yes, the glitter does add a rough texture so she has a little more grip to the slide.
You should have seen her face when she saw it the first time...it was priceless. You should have heard all the women that have talked about how much they love it and want one too. While it does bother me that I feel she defaced a perfectly good Glock, she loves it and loves to shoot it. She put about 150 rounds through it over the weekend and is already wanting to go shoot some more! Kind of hard to argue that. Now she is saving for her CHL and really wants a pink AR! I am just happy to see her armed!

. I'm always a fan of dressing up the guns some.
