50/50 now, more or less. 563 yes to 565 no.

I learned to shoot at age 4, with a single-action Army Colt in .45 long. Knocked me on my ass, and taught me respect for the weapon. SAA revolvers cannot run away on you, though. From the video I watched, she looks kinda small for a 9YO. Maybe should have had some help until they knew she knew what to expect, and could handle the weapon properly. NOT her fault, not in any way, and the instructor paid for his mistake. Sorry situation all around.
