Just a lil story about a friend & a 357sig

I have a co-worker who over the last couple of years has garnered a yearning for firearms. This individual has owned long guns in the past, use to compete in skeet shooting in the Southeast many years ago, but never really owned a pistol.

Well, recently, a neighbor's house was burglarized while the lady and kids were home, but the husband was on a business trip. Fortunately, the perp got scared and split. Well, that got my friend to really ponder the thought of getting a pistol for the house...then his wife out of the blue stated she wanted a pistol for protection when he is gone.

So, he sold two of his old skeet guns and was looking for a couple of pistols. With the pistol market being tight and pistols in short supply, they couldn't make up their mind or find many guns to look at. They finally found a pistol range that had pistols to rent.

They went to the range and shot several S/W, Springfield, wheel guns and Glocks, the range gave them a 19 & 23 to shoot (I think he said they spent $350+ in fees/ammo). She loved the 19. In the meantime she kept hearing this loud bang and wanted to shoot a gun like that....turned out the guy was shooting a G32. The range had one for her to shoot....well, the first shot literally caused he to moisten her undies, according to my friend, and jarred his teeth. She feel in love with the gun...he didn't care for it.

He had her shoot the G19 and G32 one handed.....although she liked the G32, her control, one and two handed, was much better with the 19. So they got the 19.......however, she is saving her lunch money to get the G32 and ammo!

What a woman!!

So they have purchased a G19 and G26...the 19 for the house and the 26 for him to carry. But the 32 is soon joining the family!

Life is good!

I can understand the fascination with .357 sig, at least I understand how someone can be fascinated with the round. It happened to me when I shot it, too. I seem to go for the lesser popular calibers, though. More power to the couple for deciding to take charge of their situation.

She should have got the G32. Then she can buy 9mm and 40 conversion barrels and have a G19, G23 and G32 in one gun. Tell his wife she needs a better man; a G32 guy.

Well....I did give give some crap about not stepping up to the plate and buying a real gun.

She wasn't aware, nor he, about the conversion barrels. She thought it was cool...he was pleased to hear, too.

So, after she gets it, I see her getting different barrels.
