I am looking to buy a 22lr for my soon to be wife, this will be her first gun. My question is do you all feel this is a good round to start with or is there a different round i should consider. What gun do you all find work best for a woman's first gun. Will be used most likly for friendly compatition target shooting, but also needs portability for walking with it for hunting.
Whatever you buy her, make damn sure that you TAKE HER WITH YOU TO THE GUNSHOP; that way you won't be making a straw purchase, which is illegal!!

I am fairly certain you can buy a gun as a gift for children spouse and parents. That is part of the gun-show loophole the libertards are whining about. Charie K may be onto something, though, if you are not yet married.Whatever you buy her, make damn sure that you TAKE HER WITH YOU TO THE GUNSHOP; that way you won't be making a straw purchase, which is illegal!!
Be sure and include the Sig Sauer P238 in the selection process. Great LITTLE .380....even some women's colors....IF you can find one to buy.
this is good advice, but the instructor doesn't have to be a woman, there are plenty of male instructors who train women.Do NOT "buy a gun for a woman." Get her a gift certificate to a good class, hopefully with a woman instructor, and let her figure out what she needs and wants. I've seen more women turned off to the whole thing by well meaning men... Don't do it.
Encourage, yes. When she's ready, she'll buy the gun she wants and needs. She needs to find out about the other 90% of self defense - the part beyond and around the gun.
