Gun peoples: pistol for wife.

[Amorok]

The Walther P22 is a peice of shit, stay away from it. I bought one for my wife thinking it had a lot of cool features and could be concealed. First off, you have to fire the hottest 22's you can find. Then, the magazine release is retarded and even seasoned professionals were dropping the mag with their regular trigger pull. The damn thing had at least three to five misfires, stovepipes or other malfunctions each magazine. That's ten rounds, people. And to top it all off, after only a hundred frustrating rounds the weapon broke! There is a spring pin under the slide-mounted safety which began to protrude from the left side, eventually so far out that you couldn't safety the weapon! What a peice of shit, and I tell this story as a warning to everybody who mentions them. I returned it the next day and got a Ruger Mk II 22/45 that we've never had a problem with.

For a woman's carry gun I'd recommend a small frame .357 loaded with 38spcls. If that doesn't work, go with a Kahr or a Kel-Tec in .380, you'll still get the job done but it'll be small enough and manageable enough that she won't be scared of it. For purse carry a slightly bigger but much better option is a SIG P229 is 40 short and weak. I make fun of the round but I carry one, and my wife loves it. Kind of have to go with a purse though, as it doesn't fit under the tight clothes she wears.
