My 24 year old daughter wants to learn learn how to shoot and I thought a 22lr pistol would be the best to start with. I'm looking to buy a medium frame semi-auto such as a Walther P22. I have a 22mag longslide auto and numerous 9mm and larger pistols but think the loud report and muzzle jump would scare her. What I'm asking is the P22 a decent gun, quality and price wise. I see the Walther P22 is also marked Smith and Wesson on the slide. What's that about, did Smith buy Walther. It still says made in Germany on the slide too. Thanks, Brent
