A little background. My wife is an avid shooter. She has 2 guns. An S&W 637 snubby ,.38 that resides in her nightstand and she practices with diligently. However, her love is a Beretta CX4 9mm carbine. At 50 yards she can make s smiley face on a piece of paper. Much like myself she shoots a lot less in the winter due to the cold. A few months back I set up an air rifle range in the basement so that I can shoot through the cold New England winter. Of course she expressed an interest, but has little interest in what I like to shoot .So for Christmas I bought her an Umerex Beretta CO2 carbine in .177 with a few extra mags. I had an old Tru Glo red/green dot that I mounted on it. I have to say that this little carbine feels just like the original . She loves it. It gets about 200 shots to a CO2 cannister and with three 30 rd mags (that I get to load) she can plink away. Also bought a metal trap with knock down targets which is a hoot. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful gal in my life.
