I see she uses the old teacup grip. I shot like that for many years before changing. Whatever works is what she should stick with.

I bet she will. Those little Bersa's have quite a kick because they are so small. A full size 9x19 has less recoil so she should be able to shoot the same way. If the is comfortable with it I wouldn't change a thing.

It shouldn't be difficult for her.
The majority of pistol grip concentrates on your dominant hand. If she has a strong enough grip with her dominant hand to shoot well and teacup, she should be just fine moving her support hand. It may take a bit of training, but with her natural ability, she will be even better.
And I've noticed that women are much better learners when pistol shooting because they take directions and aren't stubborn like us guys. When I first started, I could've sworn my sights were off. But every time my dad shot it, it went right down the middle. I was just stubborn and didn't want to accept that my form sucked.

When she gets a better pistol, (G19, M&P 9mm Shield., and works on that grip she'll be good to go. The sooner you wean her off the cup & saucer, the less chence she'll have a deeply engrained habit that will be hard to correct,
Shooting as slowly as y'all were shooting, her grip isn't a huge issue. (20 rounds in 15 secods is pretty slow). But when she's ready to shoot faster (3-5 shots per second), she's gonna need a Glock 19, an M&P Shield or M&P 19c
Go to Amazon.com and order Andy Stanford's book entitled :Surgical Speed Shooting. It cover the drawstroke and trigger control, among other important concepts.
THis is the same grip that Jerry Miculek shoots. It'll work wih vitually every handgun. At $10, it's a bargain. Same grip and stance used by Tom Givens, James Yeager, Massad Ayoob, and virtually everyone that shoots on a factory spnsored team.
A good 9mm in a reasonable sized frane will have less recoil and far bettershot-to-shot split times than virtually any .380.
PLUS, the realy good 9mm bullets (Federal 9mm HST - 147 grain are expandigng to .835 calber (as recovered from a test tank at a wellknown crime lab that I was able to use for some comparative testing.
This is seriously the best defensive ammo out there, at reasonable prices, when you can find it.
If you can't find it, get some Ranger-T, or Corbon DPX -- both very good stoppers.
If you can't these three loads, there's always the Hornady Critical Whichever (OK, but less expansion than the HST), or the Gold Dot ammo (still very good, just not one of the best.
Bottom Line: Get whatever you can fund, and cary it untill you locate some of the "Good" stuff.
