I made a very dumb mistake last week at my wife and son's expense. We had a CC class scheduled for yesterday, July 1st. I ordered some ammo for the class last week from MidwayUSA. They were sold out of my normal ammunition that I favor to run through my Beretta.
So I clicked on another type of ammo, without fully reading the details on it. Turns out, it was for small frame 9mm semi-autos. My poor wife, I wasn't concerned about my son, had multiple cycling issues while shooting her qualifying rounds. Myself and my son had the same issues. But my wife isn't very experienced and she already had some nervousness prior to the class that was agitated by the malfunctions.
Part of her problem was her grip. She was allowing her thumb to interfere with the slide of the pistol. But when my son and I had the same issues, it became apparent that something else was going on. So I walked over and took a close look at one of the ammunition containers. That's when I discovered that it was for small framed semi-autos.
Bad mistake on my part. I wasn't paying enough attention when I ordered it. My wife, son, and I all passed the class, but I learned a valuable lesson in the process: Pay close attention to what you're purchasing online before hitting the "Checkout" tab.
