Right. What do I mean by "better?"
Well, for now at least, it means hitting the center mass of the target at 7-10 yards.
The question about how easy it will or won't be to see the laser in the day light out side is a good one.

This is where I have struggled training some women too. That said, I think it is a mistake IME to move from sighted shooting to laser so quick. This is because I think there are 3 main barriers to early competency in male and female shooters. Athletic males often make this harder to diagnose.
1) Absolute safe handling with confidence and speed. That is, the ability to draw, aim and fire without error in safe handling. That is gun never crosses other hand and finger goes to trigger after 2 hand engagement and muzzle generally on target.
2) Speed of picking up sights. That is speed with gun on target and sights about aligned, finishing alignment and pulling trigger. You really need to get to the point where just pointing the gun gets alignment close and front sight can be placed where needed……but without pause.
3) flinch and recoil control….in other words shooting fast.
I’m of the belief that number 2 can be enhanced accuracy wise with an rds or laser. I’m not sure it can be faster on a man sized target under 10 yds. A person just needs to really work out every detail of the pointing process, so the sights are just a check. So, I guess I worry you will slow her down with the gizmo.
If she is slow firing, work on speed. If she is slow moving, work on safe, fast handling. If she is aiming too long, work through speed of aiming to shoot without precise sighting. Most folks point good enough. My guess is you are actually looking at a flinch.
That said, the laser can be a training device, but don’t let it break down her fundamentals.
