Hello!

I've been pointed here by nathanenge after chatting with him on a Land Rover forum about shooting in Canada. My wife and I are fairly new to shooting, but have completed our non-restricted and restricted courses and testing.

I started shooting many, many years ago in Air Cadets with a .308 Lee-Enfield. I did fairly well but didn't have the opportunity to shoot for years after. I got back into it again when visiting friends in Ohio. My wife had never even seen a gun up close and was curious as our hosts had a nice collection of pistols. We went to the range that day and she was hooked!

Now we're looking to make our first purchase. There's a terrific club not too far away with indoor and outdoor ranges. For a rifle we're looking at an AR-15 variant, and for a pistol I'm a Sig fan but my wife really liked a Beretta she saw at the local gun shop.

Any advice is always welcome!

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew, this is Kat, nathanenge's better half. Has your wife tried the Glock yet? I found I liked the Glock better than the Sig. Anyways, I'm sure nathan will write you soon.

Hi Kat! I've heard a lot about you over on Muddy Oval.

She hasn't actually fired one, but she handled one at a local shop and thought it was 'okay'. The real problem with Glock for us is that I'm left handed and she's right handed, and the Glock's mag release is a big honkin' thing that gets in the way if you're shooting opposite to the setup. For now we're going to be sharing! She was actually really into a Beretta 92S 9mm in terms of comfort and feel.

For sure, will do! I've been out there once with some members I met through a friend. It's a very nice looking range. I'd love to learn more and see more though. My wife hasn't been yet, and all I saw was the indoor range.

Hey andrew,
Glad to see you made it on here!
CGN is an awesome forum for information, and gatherings, events etc.

just don't forget to spend time at muddyoval. I know that Ontario CFO's are quite a bit different than BC CFO's, so I may not be able to help you out there, but if there's anything I can hook you up with let me know.
