Auto or Revolver for Lady with smal hands

[silverfoxdj]

My wife shoots a .22 SIG Mosquito. It is a scaled down version of the P226 and it fits her hand well. She has the pink one but you can get it in a number of finishes.

That is not a very reliable gun..

2x on the Beretta 71 - bought one from my 10yr old daughter to shoot at the range - she was able to handle it quite well - mine shoots nice and straight which I hear is a trait of all of them.

Auto...Glock 17 gen 4 without the back straps (9mm)
Revolver...S&W 586/686 or the Ruger GP100 (.38 special and when she's ready step it up to .357)

Something in a .22, beware auto's. They have a habit of FTF, light strikes what have you and can be frustrating for new shooters. Revolvers are better in .22LR but you are forever loading the cylinder...equally frustrating (for new shooters).

However, if you are going the .22 route I would recommend the GSG 1911 (once worn in they work very well). For a revolver, I'd agree with Silverfox. the SP 101 is nice.

I have found the Browning 1911-22 to be exceptionally reliable with high velocity copper plated ammo, as long as it is kept reasonably clean (i.e. cleaned every 500 rounds or so).
