[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 1517829, member: 13337"] These are the 5 most common .22 target pistols out there,,, Any one of these 5 will give you years of excellent performance. I've [B]not[/B] listed them in any order of preference. [URL="http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/family.asp?webflag_=006B&catalog_=B&content=Buck-Mark-Pistols"]Browning Buckmark[/URL] = Great pistol but I found the grip to be funky. [URL="http://www.ruger.com/products/2245/index.html"]Ruger 22/45[/URL] Mk II or MK III = Great pistol with a 1911-ish grip [URL="http://www.ruger.com/products/markIII/index.html"]Ruger Mk II or MK III[/URL] = Great pistol with a luger-ish grip. [URL="http://www.berettausa.com/products/u22-neos/"]Beretta U22 NEOS[/URL] = Great pistol with a very slender grip. [URL="http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765494_-1_757765_757752_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y"]S&W 22A[/URL] = Great pistol with a very fat grip. Any of these will serve your lady very well,,, They are all reliable firearms that aren't ammo picky,,, Rather than sweat over which one is [I]better[/I] get the one that fits her hand. If she wants a non-target DA/SA .22 pistol that is reliable at an affordable cost,,, There are two pistols that consistently get great reviews: Bersa Thunder 22 and Firestorm 22,,, Both pistols are made by the same Argentine company,,, They are virtually identical with the exception of the grips and trigger guard shape. I own the Bersa Thunder 22 and it's a fantastic handgun,,, Well over 1,000 rounds now with only one mis-feed,,, For a medium size pistol this is hard to beat,,, Perfect match to the Bersa Thunder 380,,, I own that one as well. Then there are the high-end (high dollar) models,,, [URL="http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-75-kadet/"]CZ-75B Kadet[/URL] - With the exception of the Kadet having adjustable rear sights, it is virtually identical to the CZ-75B in 9mm. [URL="http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=6&productid=262"]Sig-Sauer Classic .22[/URL] - There are 3 models in different calibers. They start as a full frame .22 semi-auto that are convertible to their centerfire counterpart. [URL="http://www.berettausa.com/products/87-cheetah22lrblued/wood-8rd/"]Beretta 87[/URL] - The .22 counterpart to the Beretta 84/85 in .380 ACP. I own a Beretta Model 87 Cheetah, Beretta NEOS, the Ruger 22/45, Bersa Thunder 22, and the CZ-75B Kadet,,, All reliable shooters that aren't ammo picky (for me) at all. I hope this helps,,, [COLOR="White"]Aarond[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
