22lr rimfire pistol recommendations

My wife has tiny hands and one of the only pistols she can reliably use is the norinco m93

Ruger also makes the 22/45 that fits like a 1911.

I don't know how easy they are to get or how much they cost but last week I fired the new browning 1911 22lr it looks a colt 1911a1 but maybe 1/3 smaller and it was a dream to fire because it's made of all light weight metals very light!
So a woman or someone with small hands would love the weight and the fit. Be aware though none of the 1911 style grips will work with this gun but I'm sure tons of manufacturers will be making grips for this item that looks like it will be around for a long long time.
I hope this helps

If she can handle a 1911 well, then get a Ruger 22/45. It works.

I had my hands on a Browning 1911 .22, and it was tiny! It would make a great gun for your wife or kids, it felt like a toy in my hand though.
