Whats a good .22 pistol for fiancee to start with?

I saw the $259 Buckmark with the Breast Cancer grips. I am now pricing grips for it as it may be worth it to pick on up for myself, in spite of the pinkies

I owned a Ruger 22/45, and liked it, but sold it to a good friend that liked it more than I did. I also was a bit put off by the break down procedure; I always just cleaned the bore and action the way Leighton described.

My petite (4' 10") girlfriend liked the Walther P22. She hadn't held a gun before then.

I gave her an option of what to shoot; she chose it, I suspect because it was smaller and less "threatening" then even my Buckmark Camper.

Whether to let her pick what to buy or whether to buy one for her is the subject of another long thread...

Gor mine shooting on both the Walther P-22 & Ruger MkII with good reports. Tried my Beretta 21A, but she didn't like it as much.

Above all else, remember its for her, not you, so you need her to pick the one she likes the best.

As of two hours ago, the Academy Store in Edmond has Browning Buckmarks with fiber optic, hi viz front sight and wood grips for $ 259. You won't find them any cheaper than that and I have also owned Ruger .22s and I prefer the Buckmark.

INMO...Definitely my choice too. Only I like the rubber finger groove grips instead of the wood grips. The fiber optic sight is also a big plus.

My fiance likes my gsg 1911 .22 its comfortable to hold for us both, just waiting for time to really take it out and shoot it alot

I would think the bersa thunderer, accuate, reliable, reasonable price, and most of all sized and shaped closer to a carry gun than most of the target models. A friend I shoot with, bought one several months ago and it has really been impressive. Of course in the end as, lpd4570, said it should be her choice.

Bersa Thunder .22 makes a nice little pistola. Got my eye on one.

My six year old son has a SW 422 and shoots it real well. My wife likes it and also shoots my Mark III target well.
