Although I understand the frustration, you'll get over it. Things get scratched, the sooner you embrace that, the sooner you'll live a better Life!

That looks like my Sig 1911's front strap.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison
The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms. -- Samuel Adams, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87 (Pearce and Hale, eds., Boston, 1850)Comment

The first scratch is always the worst. But like others have said, it adds character. Maybe you should get some wrap around grips so it won't happen again? The first gun my wife ever fired was my Kimber TLE II. She won't go to the range with me unless I bring it. She chose an xd .40 for SD but still prefers my Kimber for the range."Suck on my machine gun" (Ted Nugent)

Well... nothing you can do about what's there but to prevent future damage the answer is obvious.
Buy the wife her own 1911.
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

Is the wife's ring made of gold?
Seems odd if so seeing as how gold is a pretty soft metal.
You could just take the ring off before shooting. Would probably make for a more comfortable grip I suppose.
I take mine off all the time for various sports, household chores, going to bed at night, etc. etc. but I know some people prefer to never take theirs off.
If your wife is in the latter crowd she could always put something around it but buying her her own 1911 is a better move!Comment

While my wife isn't a gunny, she isn't opposed to my firearms either. I've taken her shooting several times, and she is decent shot, certainly better than some guys I have taken shootings for the first time.
Consider yourself lucky. Your wife had a great time, and she isn't one of those wives that you hear about on this forum, where we have to hide the guns. In the long run, you have a winner. The only downside is a scratched Kimber. I'd say it is still worth it.
