What about the Sig 1911 22. I have the Sig 1911 and the Mosquito and like the 1911 better not as picky about the ammo.
Recommendations for a 22lr handgun?

Thanks Shamr0ck, I think we are going to head on over there today or tomorrow. Thanks again everyone for your recommendations.

I'd vote the old basic Ruger MKI or II. They are built like tanks, with an receiver / action more like a rifle than a pistol, & no plastic, composite or alloy parts. Plus if you don't get a long or bull barrel you get close to that Luger-like ballance (feels almost like your aiming with you finger). Parts, including some nice aftermarket grips, & magazines are easy to find. Only well known problem is you can damage it if you reassemble it wrong. There's even a warning about that issue in the owners manual.

I love my Ruger 22/44 Lite...but my wife like the SR22 better.

I was at a tossup between the M&P 22 and the Ruger 22. The ruger had a smaller grip (my wife is much smaller than I am) as well as a 2nd mag, but I figured that if I were to ever shoot the 22 as well, I'd want it to fit my hand comfortably too. My vote would be either of those two pistols, but if it's gonna be a wife-only toy, make sure she gets it in her hands to decide.
I love my Ruger mark iii target, but I would recommend going to rivers site and watch the videos on field stripping. It's the only gun I have ever owned that I have to beat apart with a hammer. I keep reading that they loosen up over time, but I have around 1000 round through mine, field stripped it at least 10-12 times and it still needs the hammer for assembly and disassembly.
Btw, it eats any ammo and shoots very straight

I don't know about the browning but we've but over 7k rounds thru a ruger mark ll and it still is very accurate and zero problems

I have had a Browning Buckmark for years. It's been a sweet dependable shooter. Good value.

What 9mm does she shoot? My recommendation would be to closely match the .22 to her primary handgun (grip angle, sight radius etc.). For example, I have a Colt Ace .22 and a Les Baer Custom .45. I mainly shoot the .22 for practice so when I pick up the big gun (and the expensive ammo) my shots, theoretically anyway, are consistently better. So if she uses a Sig, then go with a complimentary Sig in .22. Muscle memory over time is a good thing. FWIW, I also have a Buckmark and a High Standard Victor as well.

If you want her to graduate to a full size pistol like a 9mm someday, the M&P22 is the way to go.

I prefer the Ruger SR22. It isn't picky about ammunition and it has two grip sleeves that allow you to easily fit it to your hand. The threaded barrel gives you the option of later adding a compensator or a suppressor.

Probably not a great bang for the buck--it is neither cheap, nor easy to find--but it's a nice, all-steel gun, little recoil, adjustable sights, and is of very high quality.
Most people I have talked with who pick up a CZ--any model--comment how nice it feels in hand.

Smith and Wesson M&P 22 compact w/ threaded barrel.
Toss a can on it and shoot some sub sonic and you've go yourself an insanely fun little gun
