Took the wife to Precision a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time I've taken her shooting since before we were married (in 1996). Yeah, I know... Anyway, she burned up several hundred rounds of 22 in my Ruger Mark II, and 30 or so of light 38spl in the GP100. She tried the G35 with my minor PF loads, but she didn't have the wrist strength to keep the gun feeding properly.
Anyway, she really enjoyed shooting the 22. So when we got home, I started looking for other types of 22 pistols. I found the Ruger SR22 ladies model. I showed her a picture, and since purple is her favorite color, she immediately wanted one. Of course, I told her no frikin way I was spending money on a gun she would probably use less than I use the Benelli SBE I have now that I no longer duck hunt.
The gun feels very nice and is smaller than I imagined it would be - about the size of what I think would be the mythical Glock single stack 9mm we all want to appear one day.
Long story short, here's her Valentine's Day present. I'll update everyone on whether or not this was a good idea come the evening of 02-14.
