That's the thing with rimfire pistols, they are picky about ammo and have a tendency to double feed and jam regularly if the right ammo isn't used.

My Sig Mosquito did that until I filed the leading edges on the clips. Gave it a little more clearance so it doesn't hook ribbed bullets. Now it loads a lot better.

You don't have to lie Kenny. The 22 is for you and I think it's way to powerful for you. Stick with bb guns... Lol [Razz]

dont go .22LR you'll regret it

go .22 magnum

ballistics on a .22 mag (.22 WMR) are very close to that of the 5.7x28mm (FN five-seven)

but very very easy to handle.

here it is in the smith j frame, 7 shot revolver, i prefer the ruger LCR for the better trigger pull, im not sure if they make it chambered in WMR though

.22 LR even with a few well placed shots possibly not save her in a situation. The magnum on the other hand very well should

I wouldn't go .22lr for self protection, but if you're opposed to anything, but .22lr get a Ruger Mark III, or similar. I haven't owned any other .22lr pistol that's under $500 that is anywhere close to as reliable as the Rugers. I've owned the Walther P22 and G22 both were pretty much junk. I also owned the Sig .22lr pistol also junk. Both had double feeds, stovepipes, and any other jam you could imagine. Ruger suffered from none of this even with the cheapest bulk ammo.

If you're open minded I would much rather get a 9mm. Good overall round. If you need more power you could always step up to +p, or my EDC round of choice is Federal +p+.

Ken, i love my sig mosquito. Plus it is the sexiest looking .22 by far.

I would also suggest that you get her a 9 or .380 if its going to be for self protection. [patriot]

ruger mkIII

It's much better to get a gun she can control and make shots that count. If you can get shots in the vital area it doesn't matter what you use.

My friend bought his chick some pepper spray. Instead of stoping an attacker she ended up using it on him during an argument. Think this one through big fella!

I bought my lady a Kimber Pepper Blaster 2 to keep in her purse. She's still to uneasy on shooting. I figured its a good happy medium.
