A Girl and A Gun Chose the
Walther PDP F-Series as
Favorite Pistol

A Girl and A Gun Women’s Shooting League recently held their 12th Annual National Conference, SHINE 2024, at the Cameo Shooting & Education Complex in Grand Junction Colorado. SHINE 2024 hosted nearly 1,000 members, sponsors and friends from across the country. In attendance were two members of the Walther Defense Division, Tatiana Whitlock and Nick Young   as well as Walther Performance Division member Gabby Franco. This event included Live-Fire Education, Non-Fire Workshops AND some time for members to reconnect and enjoy their time with like-minded individuals.

A Girl and A Gun boasts 135 Chapters across 45 states. At SHINE 2024, these members underwent a rigorous “Gear Check” wherein 976 handguns were reviewed and function-checked. Among these was the Walther PDP F-Series which secured 17.23% share which solidified its title the as the preferred firearm for diverse training needs.

Depending on the topic of their training courses, e.g., concealed carry vs. 3-gun, women would bring different models that were most appropriate to the skills learned. Some pistols were very topic-specific, and some were used for general skill builder sessions with training that can be applied to both defense and competition. The following lists the most popular models of handguns that the women brought to training:

How to get into Competitive Shooting

How to get into Competitive Shooting

By Jose Suarez

I used to say, “I am a competitive shooter,” when people asked about my athletic background. This is a simple answer to a simple question, right? Well, I realized that my answer was too broad, considering the several disciplines in shooting sports. It is like someone who practices taekwondo saying they are a competitive martial artist when you ask them about their hobbies. I am sure you would like to know what martial arts they practice.
Now, when people inquire about my sport, I say that I am a pistol shooter focused on practical shooting competitions, AKA running and gunning. And, of course, you can picture a big smile on my face, specially when I say “running and gunning.” I have one as I write it down.
