The title could have been, Pretty Pistols on a budget.
My spouse is looking into a .22 pistol. here's her logic;
1. .22 rimfire is cheap to shoot (she is super frugal)
2. She enjoys pistol far more than rifle.
She does have some rules of her own about a possible purchase:
1. It has to be pretty. She doesn't like the, "...plain, old, boring, black pistols...". She likes colors, but hates the bling-shiny stuff out there.
2. It can't be expensive. She is expecting something in the $300 - $600 range. She is very cheap and leans towards the lower price.
3. No revolvers. She said she finds them noisier, dirtier, and unattractive. EDIT: She changed her mind (She can...) She would take a decent .22 revolver in satin or chrome.
4. Can't be a woodsman or anything remotely resembling the awesome styling of the Ruger Mark III or the Browning Buckmark (she is obviously nuts).
So what to suggest? I have presented the idea of Beretta's Neo (color choice), but she thinks it looks like a retarded science fiction pistol.
I'm thinking about showing her pics of the Smith & Wesson Model 22A in Camo. Anything else out there?
