I need some help selecting a .22 pistol for my wife.   My wife and I just go completed the pistol safety class, now she is looking in buying a .22 pistol.  What is a good brand? Currently I'm looking at the Ruger MKIII, anyone got any input about this pistol and others.  Thanks guys!

Ruger MKIII is cool.
Walther P22 Target

Ruger mk3 is good but I would look at the SR22.  The thing has different size grips you can throw on.  I bet your wife would like that.

It will be my next 22 pistol

Browning Buckmark.  Definitely worth a look.  I prefer them to the Rugers due to ease of disassembly.

The Beretta U-22 NEOS is also a fun gun. 

The question really becomes "what will she use the gun for?"  Depending on whether she is looking for a plinker, a target pistol, or a training tool, the strong choices are different. 

Ruger MKIII is my .22 pistol of choice.   This is a very good pistol, and other youtubers like it as well especially that dude 'nutnfancy'.  The only problem with this pistol is that its very difficult to disassemble and reassemble.  You need a rubber mallet and nail punch to break this pistol down (check youtube on how to do it).  My first time breaking this pistol down was very frustrating for me, but gets easier after the 2nd or third time.     Plus, customer service is great.  I had to return if for service, because I messed up trying to break it down the first time to clean.  Brass was getting stuck in the barrel, but wasn't the guns fault, user error.     Ruger corrected it.   Now shoots great, and I have no problems breaking it down to clean.  Great pistol, very durable, and its worth the money.    

If it's going to be her pistol, then you need to go with whatever she like the best--not only which grip shape/style fits her, but also which one she can manipulate the easiest/best.  The Ruger MkIII is very good in this respect--those big "ears" at the back of the bolt make it easy to charge the pistol.  The slide serrations on some other pistols may be too small or slick for her to get a good grasp. 

Be sure she checks out the magazine and can load it--those buttons are hell on thumbs after a box or two of ammo.  I have some of those plastic magazine loaders and they work great but I never seem to have one with me when I need it!

I'd have to second the Browning Buckmark. Whenever Daniel brought guns to the HRA fun shoots, that'd be my favorite gun to shoot.

I bought my wife the ruger SR22. She loves it.

I just saw one at Security Equipment today--$351.00.  Quality of the metal finish was excellent.
