Okay, so I know the usual response to someone asking what gun to get for his wife is "let her pick it out." I learned from the first gun I bought for her (a taurus 357 revolver that we keep loaded with .38+p HPs) that that is the best way to do it (I did not), because she will actually WANT to shoot it.
Well my wife has shown more interest in shooting my step father's ruger MKII and my 10/22 than she has in shooting any other guns. I have decided that my next gun purchase is going to be a .22 pistol for her that hopefully I will enjoy shooting too
I pulled up some pictures tonight to see how she felt about the look of some of the options out there. We looked at the Ruger MKIII, the Ruger 22/45, the Walther P22, the Sig Mosquito, the GSG 1911, the Advantage arms .22 conversion kit for my Glock, and a .22 that looks like a Baretta 92.
My plan right now is to take her to a gun store when we get a chance and let her hold some of these (or their higher caliber counter parts) so that she can decide if she likes them.
Obviously i would like to get the conversion kit for my Glock since then I could get some cheaper practice in too but the main goal for this purchase will be something fun for the wife to shoot so that she ENJOYS shooting and wants to do it with me (hopefully).
Ladies out there, what .22 do you shoot and why, are there any I should stay away from?
