I introduced several gfs/wives of some friends to pistols this weekend -- they saw the pup, when I was teaching the guys, and insisted on shooting the "cute" gun -- for two of them, it was their first pistol ever. Both jammed it when they chambered it, because they let the slide down rather than letting it release, other than that, it, as always, performed flawlessly. I was really impressed that they were able to shoot it, but it did hurt their hands -- the J frame, as predicted, worked the best for them. If anyone has a problem w. someone closing their eyes when they pull the trigger, mixing some snap caps in with live ammo cures them pretty fast, and helps them pay attention to keeping their trigger pull straight.
