Introducing handguns to new shooter

[jaybet]

Nicely done! I'm not sure that everyone needs that .22 primer...Maggie started with the .357/.38 and she still has little interest in anything else. But everyone is different. The fact that your friend has fired shotgun probably gave her a good feel for the noise and recoil. We have a cousin who fired shotgun and rifle previously and on her first trip she'd fire any handgun you put in her hand, so it really depends to some extent on their past experience.

I agree with Jay.  My kid started with a P22 but it was problematic at best, in function, so we moved her straight to a Sig 9mm.  She's even shoots my 1911 on occasion now.

Sounds like a great intro to a lifetimes worth of enjoyment!  Well done!
