Rapier,
I agree with your training methods. Actually, we started on a SA .22 revolver and then went to the M-10 and Cobra 2-inchers with light wadcutter loads.
I always teach the "Ready Gun" position which has a two handed grip on the revolver and the arms are 45 degrees below eye level whenever the handgun is out of the holster. This keeps newbies from inadvertantly pointing a handgun at their toes.
Last month a guy at my local gun club was firing his rifle at 100 yards and his wife (never shot a handgun before) was on the next bench firing a 9mm semi at a target on the 50 yard line. After hubby shot a group, he went to check his target and her's. He had a group and she was not on a B-8 pistol target. I suggested he put up a target frame at 7 yards for her and work on her sight picture, trigger squeeze, etc. He said, "No, she will get on at 50 yards eventually." Whatever!
