My daughter took her revolver to CCW class. She was the only one. She said everyone else up and down that line was clearing malfunctions, self and equipment induced. They were having all kinds of problems with their tacticool kit. She learned a big lesson that hers never malfunctioned even once.... even the instructor noticed and gave her a cognoscenti nod.
She knows what she wants at 3am when a noise happens.
I had my daughter take the same kind of class. I gave her a S&W 686 and carry bag and quick loaders for it for the class. Like your daughter’s experience, the instructor smiled.
She was the best shot in all the class. I’ve taken her to the range afterwards and she’s beaten the pants off anybody at the range at the time with whatever at the maximum extent of the range. A real dead-eye. Steady hands, a good eye and a relatively decent barrel length (e.g., 6 inches) on a decent revolver in first-shot SA mode is hard to beat.
The dog in the house is to wake you up telling you to protect him. That gives you time to get the revolver and prepare for that first shot.
