I have been reccomended to something called a "Ruger" (sp?), >but welcome suggestions. I have a Ruger Mark II, and love it. It cost $150 and as long as I keep it clean, it fuctions flawlessly. I have the tapered 4" barrel but would recomend the 'bull' barrel {$190) which is about 6-7" long and has a fairly large diameter and adjustable sights for improved accuracy. I'm going to get one of those small Baretta .22LR ($200) pistols for my wife. They're nice since the barrel tips up to load instead of having to slide the slide back, which she can't do easily. Also, it's double action so you don't have to keep it cocked and locked, and it's very reliable and concealable. ...!rochester!cci632!ccird1!jvz Any spelling errors are really typos, so don't bother telling me I spelled something wrong, because I don't care...........
