Left Handed 22 Pistol

[bigcountryok]

I'm looking around for a left handed 22 pistol for my daughter. So far the only one that seems to be left hand friendly is the Walther P22, but I've heard alot of negative comments about the P22.

Anyone know of other left hand friendly 22 pistols?

No I put it in handgun. I had handguns on the brain since this is going to be a training segway to her getting a larger handgun suitable for CCW. Rimfire didn't even cross my mind.

I'm a lefty and have a P22 with a gazillion rounds thru it. It is a fine plinker and I've split playing cards from 7-10 yrds with it fairly regularly. Just make sure you get the slotted mags and check the trigger bar ears aren't sharp and your good to go.

Well she's right handed but left eyed and no suck it up wont work for her. LOL. Going to have a hard enough time just getting past her requirement that the gun is "cute"

I thought about teaching her to shoot right handed with a pistol and use her left eye to aim, but figured it would cause confusion when we get to shotguns and rifles.

hmmmm I may have to rethink the Walther then. I've just heard they are picky and some of the slides have cracked. Of course I'm also comparing it to my Buckmark..... I wish they made those for lefties.

You also may want to look into getting a S&W model 17 to get her started. She'll get past the "its got to be pretty" part after she see's how accurate it can be.

You might also look in www.gunbroker.com for the Beretta 87T. Full target gun, with ambi controls.
