Title: ladies pistol
Post by: Da stump on March 30, 2009, 03:41:32 PM: I am wondering if any of you know of any small frame 22 mag pistols a tiny gal could conceal when jogging and stuff?

Ruger makes the GP100 in a 2 in. model I believe.

Post by: 300rum on April 05, 2009, 08:43:04 PM: My wife bought a S&W 642 for running/jogging a few years ago. Airweight/hamerless/stainless. We chose stainless because I wanted the other person to recognize it as a pistol (when pulled) and thought that it may be more visible than a blued pistol. We experimented with holsters and finally went with an uncle mike's soft sided holster that has a plastic clip for inside the pant carry. It is the cheapest holster that you can get but it has worked the best for her. She carries her CWP inside the holster as most running shorts don't carry pockets. She carries it above her right leg up front. She prefers this location when running/jogging even with light weight running shorts. I tried to get her to carry in the small of her back but that's o.k. Who am I to say, she wore it when running up to 14 miles. :o

I chose the .38 because the rounds are large enough that she can handle them easily and easier than .22 or .22 mags (when loading/unloading). She originally wanted an auto but has fallen in love with her .38. She shoots excellent with it and I mean excellent.

One more thing, she loads it with 158gr copper plated round nose bullest (the target stuff), she doesn't like the recoil of anything else. I made the mistake of putting in +P's for her once to practice and it took a while to get the flinch worked out.

She has pulled it out twice in anger.....for Dogs.

Post by: Coasthunterjay on April 07, 2009, 08:02:59 AM: Well probably one of the best and smaller sized 22's i can think of is the walther p22. ide get one for my little girl if i had one....perfect for a women or a child.

Great size, shoots AWESOME! semi-auto, and holds alot of bullets.....and walther will fix anything if you have a problem with the gun....and they come in all kinds of colors.....great if you wanna carry a smaller caliber. Mace would be just as good though also....straight stream across the face.....

oh yah that would put any man on his knees.

but heres a picture of them.....set of pink ones for the ladies.... ;)

Post by: Remmark on April 08, 2009, 09:44:03 PM: I think Ruger makes the sp101 in .22. i'd rather see a .32 or .38 for the same size gun and maybe use standard pressure loads to control recoil. The new super light weight Ruger .38 revolver might work too. I can't remember the model number off the top of my head.

Post by: Dakota Dogman on April 09, 2009, 04:51:34 PM: Bill Jordan felt the .22 mag would be a great back up cartridge...

I'd suggest the Black Widow. Mean looking little gun.

God Bless,
