When he raised the pistol to fire he said the kid's hand was shaking so bad, he thought ... "the guy was going to a shake the slide right off the receiver on that worn out .45."

That happened with me twice. I introduced an english guy to pistols while he was on a business trip here. He was shaking when he fired the first shots. After a few hours at the range, he was fine. His main comment, "This is much harder than in the movies." He was referring to being able to hit a target at 5 yrds!
I took my wife to the range, and started her with a .22 pistol. She was shaking and claimed "I think I'm going to faint". She fires the pistol and exclaims "That was nothing." She follows directions very well, and with breath control from yoga, she is quite a good shot.
