Buckmarks are a very nice shooting and accurate pistol, but I'd rather shoot a MKII from Ruger.  I own a couple and they feel great and shoot very accurate.  The single six in the revolver is also very accurate.  Stick with any of the above mentioned, and you will end up happy. :twocents:

Take her to a bigger gun shop or shooting range where SHE can decide what feels best to HER hand.  Then get THAT one for her.

This is what I did today. Went to a gunshow & talked to many people, handled many guns, went to a good shop & my wife chose a Walther P-22 'cause it fits her hand. I understand what's already been said about beginner's with Semi-autos & I somewhat agree but I let her choose what she liked & she is happy & will shoot it more 'cause of that. I will always be with her for a while.

Good choice!  Your right in what fit her hand and what she will shoot more.  With proper training a new shooter can be safe and learn with a semi.  Repitition is key and if you get more repitition with the semi then its the best choice.

I just picked up a new Ruger Mk. III Competition.  Nice looking and feels great in my hand.  When my wife saw it she said that it was beautiful but after picking it up and aiming it said that it was too heavy for her.

The MKIII Hunter. My wife loved mine. I gave mine to my best friend this last year. He always loved that pistol and would always come up with some excuse to be able to shoot it when ever we were out hunting. I know, I know, why would I "give" that pistol to my friend. Well, it's because he is my BEST friend (other than my wife and sons) and he has always been there for me and my family.
 The good news is that my wife let the cat out of the bag the other day and I found out that I'm getting a BRAND SPANKING NEW MKIII Hunter for CHRISTmas!! I really think that she is getting it for me so she has one to shoot again!! Merry CHRISTmas guys!!!

The Hunter is nice and weighs a full 1/4 lb less than the Competition.  I think it looks nicer than the Competition too.  I wish the Competition had a fluted barrel instead of the slab sides.   I decided on the Competition because I like the extra heft, the thumb rest grip and I don't care for the HiViz fiber optic front sight.

Excellent!  It doesn't matter what us fellows like or what we think our better half SHOULD like, it's what feels best to them so that they will shoot it.  It doesn't matter if we like it if it just sits at home in the safe.
