Did a little shooting Saturday at Buds state of the art range in Tennessee. Wife shot my XDS 9mm and her .40 Shield. She shot pretty good. Then I pulled out my new P229 Elite and shot a couple of clips through it. She wanted to shoot it. I told her it was pretty heavy. She shot it very well. We get back in the car and she says I want one of those. I said no. Well I am now the owner of a P225 A1. Um excuse me she is. She knows quality when she sees it or shoots it that is. Got the 225 instead of the 229 because of size.
