My two cents - some weapon familiarization, range rules if not covered in the safety brief, dry firing, malfunctions and stoppages with some immediate action drills -- keep it simple and light. You can't over-emphasize safety. Good luck, have fun, be safe.taking my sister to the range for the first time to shoot hand guns ane suggestions on how to start besides all the safety rules

In addition to the safety rulles do her a favor and start her with a gun in 22 LR and famniliarize her with the #1 rule - pay attention to the front sight! When she becomes proficient with the 22 than advance her to a 9mm or 38 Special. I have seen more people loose interest in shooting after being taken out for the first time and being handed a lkarge caliber handgun before they gain proficiency with handling and sight picture.

I don't think that is simple and light for a first trip...especially if you are inducing stoppages to force a tap/rack...way to much for a first timer to need to worry about...its real simple, with a first time shooter, all you got to tell them is "if it doesn't go bang, assume it is still loaded, keep it pointed in a safe direction, and take you finger off the trigger, and we'll address the problem together" because I assume you will more or less be "standing over" the new shooter till they get comfortable...... stoppages with some immediate action drills -- keep it simple and light.
should be on the fundementals, proper grip, sight allignment (front sight focus), trigger press......
