Would you give a new shooter a Shadow 2?
I’ve been wrestling with this for a couple days and could use some feedback.
My longest tenure employee recently took an interest in shooting. I told him that I’d gift him one of the guns I don’t shoot often to get him started. I let him try some of my Glock and HK polymer pistols, but he really liked my Shadow 2 the most. (Shocking, right?)
I wouldn’t necessarily mind parting with it. I’d like an excuse to upgrade to the Orange anyway. But here’s the thing..
He intends to use this as a home defense gun. That means he either needs to learn to reliably manipulate the tiny manual safety, or he needs to learn to manually decock a loaded gun. Neither of these make me feel wonderful to be encouraging. Especially the manual decocking for a brand new shooter.
Am I overthinking this, or would you have similar reservations?
