Texas by God

This afternoon my youngest daughter brought a young couple from her church to the farm to practice a bit with their carry guns. The young man has a Sig 938, the young lady a Taurus TCP. After watching for a little while, I brought out 2 S&W Combat Masterpieces and a .45 auto.
My daughter has a Taurus PT22 and a Hi Point 9mm. I ran thru the basics with them and of course the Smiths improved their scores right away. They applied that knowledge to their pistols and did much better. They progressed to the .45 auto and did well with it also. At the end they were shooting .38s from my wife's Rossi lever action and running my daughter's 870 20 like pros-grinning like possums.
Observations;
The S&W K frame .38 special is a great handgun to learn accurate shooting with.
The Rossi lever action .357 (with .38s)
Is a great training rifle.
Both Taurus pistols were accurate and trouble free. I was impressed with the TCP's accuracy and smooth trigger pull.
The Hi Point is a good gun, period.
The SIG shot ok but the slide stop literally fell out at the end of one string. Luckily I was shooting it at the time and felt the part hit my foot. I popped it back in and had no further problem but what in the world?
My old Ballester Molina continues It's awesomeness with 200swc's.
I love teaching people to shoot almost as much as shooting myself. Sometimes more. Next week we're giving my newest niece in law a Savage bolt .22. She's from Alexandria, Virginia and until she visited Texas had never held a gun, period!
It's going to be great.
