@guyNbluejeans NO FIRST PISTOL GET AN XD9, THEN MOVE UP. Trust me...

I'm not sure if it is too late, but I'd highly recommend starting her on a .22LR. There is a noticeable difference between .45 and 9mm, especially for the average female build.
If you put too big of a round as their first shot (which the 45 is certainly a handful for a newbie), then they'll develop a flinch and possibly will be turned off to guns altogether.

@jawaring Thanks for the feedback, sir! My thoughts exactly with her not knowing any different starting out on a .45. Cripes, there must be millions of lady cops that have no problems...

She has her arm locked, tho...loosen up a tad.
Got my wife one, she loves her Springfield.
My 33-year-old niece will be receiving my Springfield .45 Service in the not-too-distant future. She knows next to nothing about guns but has a healthy attitude and is eager to take lessons from an instructor. She's of fairly strong build, similar to the gal in the vid, and I can't see there being any problem with her starting out on a .45 auto, though some gun folks she's spoken with thinks it might be a little too big. Any constructive comments regarding the issue would be much appreciated!:-)

@guyNbluejeans Shouldn't be a problem, especially if she starts out with a .45- she won't know any different. I personally don't see a huge amount if recoil difference between 9mm .40 and .45 auto cartridges. There's obviously some but its not like shoot magnums in a revolver. .357 mags and up can be a handful for some women (and men) shooters.

This video goes to show you that women can shoot .45 ACP and don't always need .22, .380 Auto, or .38 Special.
Was this her first time shooting?
Also what kind of rounds, and targets were those you shot at?
Thanks!

It was her first time shooting a pistol. I usually fire Wolf ammo, pretty cheap and never had issues with it. We were just shooting at junk, some scrap pieces of plate, a few brake rotors and a kitchen sink...
