Well took my daughter to shoot her new pistol today & I might say she loved it. I thought it was a tack driver in my hands, but it's downright scary accurate in her hands. She ran about two mags thru it just getting the feel of it then she started cracking every thing I set up for her to shoot ending up shooting a quarter & then a nickle at about 20 yds offhand with a cheapo red dot sight. I was looking into the reflex style sights so my buddy let me test one of his lower end ones just to see how we liked that style of sight before I spend good money on one & I have to say that is the way to go if quick target acquisition is what you're after & you don't need the magnification of a regular telescopic scope. So I'll be looking in to getting a better quality reflex setup for her. My barrel for my 10-22 didn't come in like expected today. Apparently somehow FedEx got the shipping address goofed up & they tried to deliver it to someone's house. I'm just glad they were honest instead of just signing for it & enjoying my new barrel. So sometime next week on that one now. If any one is looking into getting a .22 auto pistol I highly recomend the ruger mark lll. Mine is the 22-45 model with 4.5" threaded bull barrel w/ fixed front & drift adj rear sights in matte black w/ replaceable 1911 style grips. It is drilled & tapped & comes with a nice weaver style scope rail. The only thing not on this model that I would like to have is the underneath side of the barrel drilled & tapped for an accessory weaver rail. I'm going to check into sending it back to Ruger & have that done. It is an excellent performing gun. We've put about 1200 rds thru it & it has cycled smoothly every time except for two bad shells that failed to fire. Thanks again to everyone who replied to this thread. You've been a big help.
