I start everyone with 22. I’m not an instructor but I take lots of guests, have three boys, and my wife. Never all at the same time mind you.
My kids all started with old model Single Sixes. My oldest has a 1956 flat gate. My middle son a 1958. Youngest has a 1960. As time has gone on we have worked ourselves to the Browning Buckmarks and then up to larger calibers. All three are good with my Browning 1911-380. The older two love my full size 9mm’s. The oldest is 13 now and shoots a 45. Each time we step up to try a new caliber the cylinder or mag gets one round in it.
My wife, who did not grow up around guns at all, has gone down the same path. I let her tell me if she wants to try something new. She got a S&W victory for Christmas. She loves it and prefers to stay with the 22 for range fun. We bought some game targets, such as Battleship, tic tac toe and others and that’s what she enjoys doing at the range. She is showing interest in a carry gun and I will let her rent whatever she wants to try (free perk of my membership) and make her own decision.
