In this show, Carrie Lightfoot and Barbara Baird discuss tips to consider before you buy a gun.
Barbara interviews pro competition shooter Julie Golob about how to choose a first gun, and Julie then gives one of her favorite tips for beginning shooters at the range.
Carrie talks about the American Marksman program, and the upcoming June certification class in Oklahoma for The Well Armed Woman.
The women note the features of Carrie’s latest design, the rolling range bag, and why they’d take a Ruger SR9 to the range. The show also covers trends in the world of firearms and news you can use.
Also, don’t forget to enter the “fan of the month” opportunity, where you can win prizes from The Well Armed Woman and be featured at Women’s Outdoor News. See entry below.

My first gun is an American Beauty 22 by Henry repeating arms
Bought my first gun 3 years ago. It was a Sig Sauer P238, that I still carry every day. I chose it because the smaller frame fit my grip very well, I could easily rack the slide without any extra work being done to the gun, and I’m just partial to 1911’s. It’s still a joy to shoot….
My first gun – that I actually owned – and still have is a Walther P38 9mm. I got it because it shot well for me, and because it had history. The gun has markings to show that it was carried by a soldier and then he and the gun were captured by the Russians. I researched its date of manufacture, and given the ending date of the war – that sad soldier did not have it long before he and the gun were in Russian hands.
My first was a Glock 19, I picked it because it was the most comfortable & accurate of the pistols I tested & shot
