All of my sons have fired my 1911 with standard 230 gr FMJ at the indoor range. That made the appropriate impression that real firearms were very different from video game firearms. My middle son enjoyed it so much that he joined the Marines. The other two went back to playing video games.

I took 15 young men from church to the range. They fired the Ruger MKII (.22LR), S&W 686+ (127 gr 38SPL), Magnum Research BFR revolver (45-70 405 gr "cowboy" loads) and Ruger SuperRedhawk .454 Casull 7.5" bbl (200 gr FMJ @2000 fps). The kids had a blast (literally). All of them had prior experience shooting rifles. Few of them had any handgun experience. That was the objective of the trip. It was a long night cleaning :-)
