Recommend gun for Girlfriend

[voiceofreason]

Ruger 10/22 is good. Marlin 795 is a great choice if you plan on keeping it stock and not doing much modifying, maybe adding a scope.

Ruger Mark III or 22/45 is a great choice in a .22 handgun.

Definitely a .22 to start with, for price of ammo, fun, and learning curve.

After a while look into an M&P in 9mm, G17 & 19 are good as well.

Avoid small revolvers, as she will NOT enjoy shooting it and will NOT want to train with it in a formal course. Better to get a full size, practice, and possibly get a smaller, more concealable gun down the line.

Get a .22, or a full sized, (G19 is kind of a semi-compact) gun to start.

Small, concealable "do-it-all" one gun purchase...

that's the thinking of a newbie that will regret not following the advice of people that have been shooting and have owned multiple guns for years.

Only if it gets you on the show.

10/22 is great... My wife loves mine...

But consider a Savage bolt action in 17. Much nicer gun.

[DVSmith]

Consider a lever action. A bunch of fun to shoot and stylish too. Get her Cowboy Boots and a hat to go along with it. She can provide her own Daisy Dukes... LOL

[vorpar]

If you don't have one, I recommend an AR-style rifle. Minimal recoil, and there are a huge variety of accessories including a .22 upper.

My gf really enjoys shooting the GSG5 FWIW

Take her out to the range with a nice selection of rental guns and let HER choose. My lady loved my 1911 45acp and she's a tiny girl.

Do they rent 10/22's?

[mexicancolt1]

Pick something you like, in a small caliber. That way if things don't work out between you guys, you'll have something you'll use. Stay away from letting her pick a weapon. She'll select something PINK and expensive (Guaranteed!)

DGM in Santee does... I have no idea if you're in SD or not, just thought I should mention it

We'll ur right on the on the pink part, but she wants a pink cheetah or zebra print....and I want a 10/22, I just want a cheap paper buster at 100 yards plus everyone who shoots needs a 10/22
