    Pink .22LR Pistols?

    Hello I was trying to find out if anyone knew of any good Pink .22LR Pistols. I was looking to get my wife the Beretta U22 Neos with the pink grips for her upcoming birthday but they seem to be impossible to find and when I contacted Beretta they said that they discontinued the pink grips for whatever reason. I like the price of the U22 and they look nice and we've shot one before at the range and she loved it. I was also looking at a Sig Misqueto but while reading about them you have to shoot CCI ammo I guess in them for them to properly work and I really want something that will shoot the cheap bulk box ammo all day long with little to no problems as this is her first gun ever (she use to be 100% against guns and would not let them in the house... until I took her shooting one day and now she's hooked). If anyone has any ideas or knows of where I can get the Pink Grips for a U22 Neos I would GREATLY appricate it as I'm trying to get her more into shooting so we can go do that more often and I won't have to go alone anymore. Also she has shot a couple guns and she likes the fact that the .22LR has pretty much no recoil and she only shot my .44 one time before she was done with that one, so she really wanted a .22 and not much more because she didn't even like the .380 either because of the recoil.

      Very cool I'll have to look into the shops around here to see if I could get this done and if it will make her $280 gun cost more like $500 or hopefully $350 or so... HAHA

        Something to remember is the CA DOJ Handgun Roster comes down to even the finish.
        So many specialty models or colors such as pink are not on the list.

        There are 3 listed Mosquitos on the roster and the pink frame is not one of them.
        Mosquito (Blued) / Steel, Polymer Pistol 4" .22 LR 8/18/2013
        Mosquito (Reversed Two-Tone) / Steel, Polymer Pistol 4" .22 LR 6/13/2014
        Mosquito (Two Tone) MOS-22-T / Steel, Polymer Pistol 4" .22 LR 12/19/2013
        (Anyways I would never suggest getting a Mosquito, single worst firearm I have ever handled, shot, field striped)

        There are ways to get off roster pistols though.
        Used thru PPT
        SSE
        Family Transfers

        As dyson mentioned there is always paint.
        For pink Neos grips I would watch ebay...

          I know the sig mosquito gets a bad rap, I read all the reviews before I bought one, but got one anyway, even against my better judgement.

          One I changed the spring out, they include it in the box, just have to look under the foam, the gun functioned great. I've been running remington golden bullets through it and haven't really experienced any FTF or FTE.

          Just wanted to offer up my experience with it.

                If you don't mind shooting 22 shorts, the Beretta Minx is a pretty neat woman firearm. Most famous for being the female ankle gun in James Bond.

                  issc makes a pink m22. it was in turners ad a while back. can't remember if it was for mothers day or breast cancer awareness. i love my (all black) issc m22. broke it in with about 500 rounds of cci and now it does well with the winchester/federal bulk boxes.
                  I don't own any guns...they're dangerous.

                    Walther makes a cool pink camo one. Not sure if you can get it to clear the approved handgun list here in Cali though.
