I have a friend visiting from the UK and I have invited her to go shooting with me. I've booked an hour, but what to take?

It's an indoor 50m range and we have it to ourselves so we can move wherever we want.

She's neither a shy nor fragile lass, but the last time she shot anything was a .22LR rifle on a mate's farm some 20 years ago.

I'm thinking of taking my SP-01 and my .38 snub with lightish loads and possibly a couple of medium-heat .44Mags through the Redhawk just for the experience. Long-gun wise, the VZ is pretty impressive while still being kind on the shoulder.

My only concern is that she has relatively smallish hands.

Thoughts?
