I’m teaching wy wife to shoot and she is left handed. Is the a different technique or is it best to have her shoot like a righty. She is brand new to shooting so no bad habits to overcome. Tabula rasa.

This is the way!! I’m a lefty and it’s spot on!! Eye dominants is the keyI'd be more focused on finding her eye dominance and working with that. The grips for left are the same as right, just opposite hands. Lefty need to watch out for the controls however, as some seem to be in the way for left handed shooters.
Also, I never recommend teaching a spouse. I'm an instructor and still had my wife take classes from another instructor.
This is how it is for me, being left handed and shooting for years they never had ambi controls years ago so it is second nature to hit the mag release with my middle fingerWith women, or any folk with smaller hands, sometimes flipping the mag release isn’t the best way to go.
I know some left-handed shooters with smaller hands that have an easier time reaching a “right-handed” magazine release with their trigger finger, than they do using a “left handed” magazine release and trying to reach it with their left thumb.
Different folks are…..different.
Having man hands I flip my mag releases if possible. On right handed mag releases I use my trigger finger. I probably should just run them all right handed for consistency.With women, or any folk with smaller hands, sometimes flipping the mag release isn’t the best way to go.
