Well decided to get a Red Dot for the Q5 and I really like it. I went with the Leupold Deltapoint Pro because the gun comes with 3 mounts, one for Leupold, Trijicon and Docter. I looked at them all and went with Leupold because of the larger field of view. I really like it, it took a few rounds...
I got a S&W Model 19-5 6" barrel and if you plan on teaching the wife you are on the right track. I load 38 special target rounds and its literally like shooting a 22. Its my wives favorite handgun to shoot. She was a little intimidated at first because of the size but now loves it. You cant go...
She occasionally will shoot when we are on my friends land. She is just getting ready to apply for her pistol permit. Me and a guy from work always talk guns, she really knew I wanted a gun we were talking about but didn't know which one, so she texted him and asked. Yeah she is a keeper.
Wife surprised me with an early Christmas present. She had to do some leg work to get it, and jump through the NY hoops, but glad she did. First plastic gun in the collection.
