Male Domination
Seems this is a male dominated hobby, but I'd be interested to know roughly what percentage of woman are in this hobby

All three of my daughters are very experienced with class 3 weapons and destructive devices.
One daughter no longer has any guns around the house (known to her husband) since her husband is a wimp. The other two do. Of these two, one likes to hunt. (See Picture.) Looks like a cute girl with her deer ? Then the second picture is of a different daughter (June, 2013) with her last child. Looks cute. but any of the three daughters, if you really cross them, will kill you and I mean it literally.

Oh, and they do not like colored weapons like pink, cameo, etc.
One does not like a muzzle brake on her rifles as she claims that they make a big ball of fire, which makes it easy to be spotted.

My wife likes to blaze away with her .357 - usually loaded with .38 spcl. Doesn't like automatics 'cause of the flying brass, give 'er a revolver!

Is 'cameo' that robin's egg blue color??? I am thinking that women like to have pink/blue colors because they know it will always be THEIR go-to gun, and nobody else's...And they're right...
I ain't carrying the days receipts to the night deposit with a pink Chief's Special...

Not sure this is a answer, but at the Lakeland gun show there were many very attractive ladies on both sides of the dealer tables. Most look very interested in various hand guns, but no pink ones.

My most recent NRA Basic Pistol and state certified Concealed Carry classes have had a majority of women students.
On the collecting side, I have not encountered that many women interested in this. Over at the Smith and Wesson forum we have a small number of women participating. Not so many on the military firearms forums. The manufacturer's movement to market firearms that supposedly are more appealing to women is interesting. I suppose it got started with the "Ladysmith" line. The sketch artists are having their odd fantasies: http://steveoreno.deviantart.com/art...Luger-42562272 More interesting is this: And... they got the handgun wrong, but I suppose that this is a start: http://www.keithpaquette.com/infinit.../ladyluger.htm
