Only a couple liked autoloaders. As they progressed, most of them stayed with the .38. But one gal adapted so fast it was scary. Superior hand eye coordination. She now has her CCW and bought a 2.5 in Model 19.

I start them at 7 yards and we work out from there. The more hits on target early in training builds confidence.


The gals usually don't have preconceived notions about how good they are.
