Every person I've ever taught to shoot a handgun has shot my .22 first. It's takes all the scary thoughts away and makes the new shooter feel very comfortable firing a weapon. I'll then work my way up to my 9 and 40.

Same thing goes for riffle. I start them with my .223 before moving on.

It's all about getting the person comfortable and nothing is better than seeing that "Mikey likes it" expression on their face.
