my brother has a firestorm .22 and thats where she got the idea. its a sweet little gun but it isnt on the approved list http://www.gunblast.com/Firestorm.htm

Go to the CA DOJ roster of firearms list, and sort by caliber. scroll just a little bit down and you'll see all the .22LR's that are legal in cali.

And don't forget the Exempt Olympic Pistols list.

The Trailsides are listed there.

I second the Browning Buckmark. Other than that you might look into a nice little revolver. Single Six Rugers and S&W K-22's are hard to beat. HTH c good

i have the mosquito, and unless sig has tuned the trigger up, i would say stay away from it. the trigger pull in DA is 15# + measured (scale only went to 15) and the SA was about 10#. it is a very good looking pistol, i have the two tone. kinda picky on ammo from what i've heard from other owners, i have only shot cci mini mags, again from what i hear are the only ones that it functions with and that the pistol is very finiky with ammo. i guess i bought it because it looked cool. other then the trigger issue it does shoot rather well, accuracy is pretty good despite the trigger pull. fun pistol and gives the trigger finger a good work out .

Ruger Mark 3 Hunter.

+1 any of the ruger Marks 1,2 or 3. Simply reliable.

she really liked the pheonix arms pistols but I have heard they are a POS. she also liked the Taurus .22's but those arnt CA approved .

I 3rd the Buckmark.
How about a used Buckmark Target Gold?

It's very nice looking and based on a tried and true design.
Browning has also come out recently with some wild splash looking colors on their latest editions of the buck mark.

Not sure how the gold coating holds up over time, maybe somebody can chime in on that.

I hope to add one to my collection soon.

I have a Pheonix arms HP-22 with the 3" and 5" barrel conversion. It came with 2 mags and a great nickel finish. I have taken it out 5 or so times without any ftf or stove pipes. It does have a funky safety system so I would not recomend it for self defense, too much to think about in a heated situation. I bought the gun for my son but I use it more. He is more interested in the Airweight 8 shot 22 revolver. it weighs 10.2 ounces.

The buckmark is a great 22 alternative to the ruger if you dont want to deal with the PITA cleaning for the ruger series pistols, plus, the buckmark is a beautiful piece of work.
