What on earth is she going to hunting with a pistol??? JK

I will presume it is to shoot bad guys??? As for a pistol, I carried a Walther PPK for years as my backup. Its ONLY purpose was to hopefully get the 250 pound guy off of me as he was smashing in my face on the side of the road. If youare going for your pistol, you are in a nightmare of a position. There are far more better-suited weapons for home defense. The only reason police carry a pistol is because it looksbad taking a shotgun to a traffic stop.

If she just wants to "plink" a .22 auto pistol is about as fun as it gets!

Just my .02
