She'd never fired a handgun before and Thursday was her first day to shoot. I started her out on my Ruger Single Six (.22LR). Her first shot was within an inch of the bullseye. After shooting that a while she wanted to shoot the new Charter Arms "Pink Lady" (.38Spl) I had bought for her some time ago which has sat unused in my gunsafe until she came here for good. After 15 rounds she had enough of it. Too much recoil for her she said. Her shots were spread out as well. She then tried my Ruger 22/45 and enjoyed the semi-auto feature of it and that she was consistently shooting tight groups. She also shot my 10/22 but preferred shooting the handguns.Later that evening she was looking around online and found a picture of a Buck Mark and asked my opinion of it. I told her I had no experience with them but heard they were fine weapons. Yesterday morning we went down to H&H where she handled about a dozen different types of .22 semis... the Beretta Neos, Smith & Wesson 22A, Walther P22 & SP22, Ruger MkIII's and Buck Marks.She walked out with a new Buck Mark URX...[Broken External Image]An hour later we were down at the range with my 22/45 and the Buck Mark where she could shoot them both side by side. In the end she feels she made a good choice with the Buck Mark, enough to add her to my range membership so that she can begin shooting regularly. <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" />The Pink Lady will see duty as a self defense arm and the Buck Mark will be her plinker.</blockquote>
