[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3175090, member: 5412"] I've been instructing some pistol classes during Women In the Outdoors and those type of programs for the ladies. It's basically learning the proper grip, and familiarization with pistols type of instruction while getting to shoot a lot of ammo. Some, due to physical limitations just can't handle a centerfire pistol for a couple of reasons. They either can't rack the slide of a semi auto strength wise or they have physical limitations that prevent it. The option of using a small caliber revolver, or at the worst case a .22 semi auto is their only option. The stinger ammo is not a bad alternative. In a rifle it's 1600 fps, but in a pistol, probably 1100 or so, I haven't check it on my chrono. Having a .22 that someone can handle proficiently is better than any centerfire than one can't handle or having no gun at all. You can certainly rapid fire a 10 round mag into center mass with about zero recoil. The Kel-Tec .22 mag with 30 rounds of ammo available is certainly a viable alternative for those that have issues with centerfire recoil. [/QUOTE]
