OB'ers representing me. Thanks guys!!! 
Not a problem sir.
The M&P45 would actually be a great gun for her to learn on since it is so large. And like I said in the video, a full sized handgun is the best starting place for a woman to learn shooting a handgun.
Not many people start with this technique from the beginning and it really helps them to use the muscles in their shoulders rather than the muscles in their forearms. Good on for starting that from the beginning.
Do you know what method she plans on carrying? That will have a lot of variance in the size of pistol she can carry. But I think a good 9mm will be best for her since you get much more capacity than a 38. Then again, a 38 is no slouch either.
Let us know what you end up doing.

Now that was helpful...thanks, and thanks Bapple.

Kinda verified the "snappy .40 M&P" that she shot in the past. I thought it was snappy as well, and it's what led me to purchase the .45 M&P.

And that also made me feel good that I taught her the right way to rack the slide. That's exactly how I showed her...pushing the gun away with the right hand. That will just take practice for her, I think.

I sure will, sir. I plan on waiting until after she completes the CCW class before we get her a weapon. I think she'll have a better idea of how she wants to carry at that time, and she'll obviously have some input with what she wants.
She's shot the .45 a good bit, and I'll work with her more for sure. I just found out I'm getting released from Amarillo assignment in about 2 weeks, and I'll probably be off thru the end of the year...so we'll have some time to hit the range.
So far I'd definitely leaning towards a 9mm. What is your opinion of the Shield? It isn't much smaller than the M&P 9mm Compact, but I think it's a bit thinner, so her method of carry may determine that. I like the compact due to capacity over the Shield, but I like the Shield as well.
