Tammy & I met each other in Sarasota FL, She was a teenager. She was a
teller at a bank & I stood on her line every Friday asking her out:) We
fell in love, ( after 3 dates !) plus were best friends , camping every
weekend etc, as best friends… She loves the outdoors as much as me. She
was my pit crew for 15-20 years {40} weekends a year as I raced dirt bikes
professionally, in the forest, (Hare Scrambles & Enduro’s) We have 2
Daughters age 6 & 8. My family lives with “Jesus” a Great feeling:)

Gary Mayo says:

I prefer an AR pistol configuration with a Sig brace, so one has a face
cheek for additional stabilization of sight plane. Another advantage of a
AR pistol over say an M4, is once you have your concealed carry permit for
pistols, your flexibility to carry when you want, what you want, is not
infringed.

As a woman I must say my favorite cals are 9mm & .223/5.56. In a handgun
9mm generally has higher capacity & is easier to control. Standard 9mm vs
.45 arguments.
As far as a rifle I really like 5.56. It’s really easy to handle in a rifle
& it has plenty of energy for home defense. I also like 5.56 for things
like that 5.56 Sig or an AR pistol. They do lose some velocity out of
shorter barrels but they will still get the job done. I do like some of the
specialty SBR cals like the 6.8 but It isn’t worth going to one of those
for me. I seldom shoot short barreled AR platform guns & it’s easier to
stick with one cal in my AR rifles. The 9mm & 5.56 are my main cals for
modern guns. I love the .45LC in cowboy guns. Great fun I also wouldn’t
mind a New Vaquero in .357 & a 45/70 rifle but those are strictly fun,
hobby guns.

Tammy handled that 10mm like a pro!!

Robert Barron says:

Look at what’s going on in Iraq. And the libs have the audacity to call us
“Gun Nuts. Google, “ISIL Executions” by real “Gun Nuts”. And what choice
does Iraq have, but to call up a militia, the very term liberals hate and
think is extremist. It’s gonna be a slaughter, and I’d bet my left arm
ISIL is going to run over Iraq, and possibly Kuwait and Jordan as well.
This is bad. 

TheFireArmGuy says:

Good stuff guys and thanks for the female perspective. Women are getting
involved at rapid rates these days.

Katherine Winyala says:

As a female shooter myself… I used to pretty much swear by the .45 ACP
for the best caliber. Then I started watching your channel, and you just
had to keep talking so much about 10mm until I eventually had to give it a
try myself, and even as small as I am… I absolutely love it, and now my
carry pistol of choice is a Glock 20. 10mm just rocks. :D

Rob HVAC says:

Great shooting Tammy.

Eslamizar says:

I’m glad you cleaned up the front end of that sig pistol…. you had too
much crap on it before. Also one of those arm braces from sig would be
nice but it would make the pistol a bit bigger and heavier.

Good job with the 10MM Tammy. 

gunlover067 says:

I am glad I stumbled on your channel tom a year ago!!! awesome gun reviews,
you and your wife make a good team on the videos keep it going.

Paul Fabrique says:

I wish I lived in America instead of England…here, it rains a lot and
guns are illegal….as a consequence people live in misery and drink a lot
to drown out the misery whilst drug dealing gangs of kids run riot with
AK47s and MAC-11s.

racekidd131 says:

Wow Tom she has came a long way nice to see her more involved good work

roo pee says:

keep her sweet eh….your a blessed man my friend 

pkj77 says:

As always a great video…..love watching them even guns here are illegal
( Denmark) i´m very much interested in guns. lovely wife , you got there
Tom ;)

killtimeification says:

your wife looks like a model she is beautiful

Nick Conte says:

Thanks T&T for this video… I just forwarded it to my wife….if Tammy can
handle the 10mm my wife can handle anything as well…THANK YOU!

myvenusinuranus says:

you have a great wife…..beautiful, intelligent, supportive, and you both
enjoy the same things.

that’s very rare and hard to find

seedood says:

Great video!

Joe C says:

Nice! A hot blonde and guns, this channel rules!

Stephen Driscoll says:

I noticed that after the first shot from each gun, Tammy’s use of her
support hand in controlling recoil really improved. Except for the first
shot, I don’t think I could have done better. She was pretty solid. I think
she could fire rapidly no problem. Maybe she already does?

Pornkiller666 says:

No fair not letting her shoot the P556 without a rear sight! LOL. The P556
is the best choice for “confined Space work in a tunnel or in a car. Beats
other P516 and AR style due to no buffer tube and better reliability with
the gas piston. Beats a std R556: shorter end even folded the R556 stock
blocks mag release. Learn th Proper use of a sling like the H&k operators
course and forget about the Sig brace. Nice work Tammy.

Unit 38 says:

I think the .40 is a good caliber for male or female. M&P, Glock, there is
alot of choices out there. A .40 caliber weapon loaded with Winchester J
series will take care of any two-legged vermin infestation.

F15Eagle61 says:

Great video Tom! Thanks to Tammy as well. Glad to hear her perspective.
Only two things I would have like to seen in this video though, . . the Sig
P238 Tammy mentioned, and her target after the range visit! Thanks for
taking us along.

roadglide says:

Tammy and Tom you guys are awesome! Thank you for the continuing education.
Good stuff.

Asaf Farfar says:

Tammy you seem so much more comfortable in front of the camera now. Great
video.

usoohot says:

Nice vid man. Her smile after she shoots is priceless. I have a kahr cm40
and im getting rid of it. Too much recoil in my opinion. Its a true hand
cannon. Im no small guy either 6 ft 220 lbs. Enjoyed the vid!!!!

Ian Jacob says:

I feel like more creeps watch this video for the hot girl than the good
information it has… And to all you jack asses out there a girl can do
anything any of us guys can if they set there mind too it. 

JB85128 says:

The best caliber for self defense (male or female) is the caliber that the
shooter is most comfortable and accurate with.

jstmo95 says:

Tom I am pretty surprised you would let her shoot with that low cut shirt
on. If she would have gotten hot brass down that top that wouldn’t have
been good. 

FX Hummel says:

Nice to get a different perspective 

Johann Padron says:

She’s gorgeous Tom. Me and my girl friend go shooting too. Last time we
shot my 308 rifle and now she enjoys shooting rifles maybe even a little
more than hand guns. 

thehotsixer1 says:

the 556 “pistol” looks a little large, I would say a more traditional size
would be easier to handle

J watts says:

Does Tammy have a channel ?

koskey06 says:

You make me and so many others jealous. A beautiful family that supports
you in everything you do. Hey where is the rear sight on that 5.56? You
should put a sig brace on it too.

cigarbufff says:

wow she handled all those like a champ!

TheUSAforever1 says:

Very nice folks. That revolver sure looked like a good match. BTW, is it
just me or does Tom bring out that 10mm every chance he gets? hehehehe

videosbymike says:

As always a great video Tom,the husband and wife that shoot together stay
together. Great job Tammy;-)

Prepare for the worst and pray for the best,

Mike

Larry Lyday says:

Thanks for the video. If she had shot the Kahr PM9 instead of the PM40,
she might have liked it better because of the lower recoil. Excellent
topic with another viewpoint!

Bob Shore says:

A micro red dot would be perfect with the SIG 556. I have the 556 SWAT in
16 inch, folding stock configuration. It is truly a great weapon system. 

MrBulletpoints says:

Great video Tom & Tammy! 

Alex9x19 says:

Awesome video

Patrick Bogden says:

Sweet! Tammy, nice job with that 10 mm! She handles it like a pro.
I too stumbled into this channel about a year ago. I’m glad that I did. I
like your gun reviews and overall presentation. You show an all American
family like my own, having a good time together shooting at the range. It’s
really good to see Tammy on the lense side of the camera. No offense, Tom,
you sir are a very lucky guy! Tammy is one beautiful lady! She’s down to
earth and sweet as pie! Great job guys! Keep blastin!

Mike Campbell says:

It’s great that more women are becoming gun experts. I hate hearing stories
about women being victims when the tools are there. By the way Tammy is the
loveliest woman on YouTube. Please don’t get mad.

Negativequity says:

Tom great video, also applies to males who may be weaker or have a physical
limitation.

GlowWormActual says:

No rear sight on the Sig 556?

GuitarLoveTV says:

I was actually very impressed you did a great job of mitigating the recoil
on that 10 mm nice video guys

reebok3d says:

my question is hearing…??

in a situation like you said with the 556 pistol, if you have to grab that
to defend your home/family, would you put on the earmuffs to do so…??

being serious though, because these firearms are SO loud!

ive shot one birdshot round in a 12g shotgun w/out ear muffs and my ear
rang for a half an a hour..

it just seems like if you fired 5 or six rounds of that 556 without hearing
protection, would it cause damage to your hearing…??
