That's right!
My wife won't touch a pistol or shotgun because of recoil though.
The AR 15 on the other hand she loves.
Minimal recoil,maximum effect.
We had a discussion about that over here.
That someone could grab the gun from me quicker then I could think to shoot. And fire it off. I know How to shoot. But not that fast. I have to think about it too long. And that's all it would take.
