IMHO on the “picking a boyfriend” front, if a girl grows up with both parents the father’s example is stronger than the mother’s.
My youngest (rebellious) daughter cut out a string of boyfriends Daddy didn’t like much, including “the Felon.” But when the real deal came along, who treated her like I treat her mother, well, they’ve been married going on 25 years and are raising us two fine grandkids.
And the Father Factor is not just about direction but also attraction, in the most proud and admirable way…hence, as was discussed prior, her choice of the Wick/Zed/Chris model for her dreams.
Can’t tell if she’s reacting to heavy recoil or not.
Her finger’s on the trigger but not pressing it so she’s got some damn good reflexes if she can reset it that fast.
She must be using some hefty loads for that much muzzle climb, even in a snubby. She can handle those 44’s pretty well so it might be a .500 mag ? the cylinder seems pretty short though, even for a .38, maybe it’s a .45 ?
Watched someone firing a .500 snubby online…pass, that’s just too much for me nowadays and I used to rapid fire .44Mag one handed from the hip just to annoy people who complained about recoil 🙂
Sure is difficult to get past the obvious distractions, but it looks to me as though Sam’s finger is on the frame – not the trigger. Good placement following the shot . . .
And its a revolver so no hot brass to damage the shooter. I suspect such a fashion choice could result in a very profitable range.

She can’t be preparing to shoot with the muzzle that high, no sight picture, she isn’t aiming in a safe direction but over any backstop for maximum range if there’s a stray shot…
You shouldn’t point loaded weapons in the air anyway… G-d’s on our side. 🙂

Wish my wife would be that “practical”!
Well, speaking of “practical”, at least that revolver isn’t poppin’ hot brass on deh bubbiehs…Lawd, wotta view…
OK, Zed, never ask a question if you don’t really want to know the answer.
Wasn’t this how Sam and Zed started their last child?

If Mari’s 18 -now-, how old was Kiko when she had her baby with Jack? The girls are twins, after all.
Dang good question!
If 18, why were they in a bar? Drinking age is 21.
Not that I’d throw them out, every bar needs nice attractions.
Those two aren’t “attractions,” they’re centerpieces. (no pun intended)
Michael Piz,
The twins turned 18 a few summers (DBD Fundraisers) ago.
Re-read Sam’s statement. Mari is *over* 18.
18’s the new 29! 😉
18 has always been 29 in the minds of high school girls.14 is 19 too. They’re all grown up … except they aren’t.
Fixed it. I’m still moving in, sick as a dog, and have yet to thank all the Patrons, Arrrrrrr!
