She's very pretty; but she's, also, 'teacupping' the grip.

I've seen that happen to a lot of people over the years, and she did better than most when faced with a sudden sharp pain from a hot casing. She kept the muzzle downrange, didn't completely freak out/scream, and put the weapon down on the bench before addressing the problem.

Two thumbs up!

Funny stuff. During night shoots you can see ejected brass glowing red. That stuff gets hot! She did good.

Funny... I was at the range Weds afternoon and hand brass from a 22LR land right in my collar against my neck..... Always fun stuff.

And she still put the pistol pointing down range,As she put it down. I have seen new shooter's have this happen to them.And drop the pistol on the ground.

And lucky it did not fire off.

Been there, done that. I agree, she did fine.

when i shot my old usaf issue m16 left handed it ejected hot shells at my shoulder which then bounced down to my bent support arm. one out of three would find a spot under the rolled up sleeve against the flesh in the crook of my arm or in the neck area. i hated unrolling the sleeves and i nearly cried with joy when we got the mp5's.

That could leave a mark!
