Mine were by a co-worker. She's been working in that shop for close to three years and never fired a handgun. Ever.
And the long guns she tried were years ago.
So we picked a time we both had free (a task in itself!) and I took her to the range with a bag full of "try-its".
We did a speedy safety run down and I started her with .22. We worked up to .45...and wouldn't you know it, the Colt Government with the fiber optic front sight was her favorite.
She got some really decent hits for never having done it before. But she listened really well, so I knew she would.
All her shots were in a paper plate at 7 or so yards. In the end, she said she'd like to go again. Yay!

EDIT:

Here's her first ever try, with my Smith & Wesson 22A (she didn't want herself in the pic, but didn't mind if I brag on her targets. )

Here's her first try with the Colt...
The very first shot was the one closest (left/low) of the bullseye black diamond)

I was pretty proud of her, too.
