Looking at subject pistol for young girls (small hands) learning to shoot.
Some not so flattering reviews on the world wide internet but dissenting opinions say it's a limp wrist issue.

Anyone here have real world experience with this cute little thing? Thanks for looking!

Thanks.
I'm going to have to check these though I think the Ruger is larger than I'm looking for.

Appreciate the info.

The one I had was very picky on ammo, lots of fail to eject. Once I found the ammo it liked it didn’t have as many issues. I have a Ruger SR22 now and it seems to be a better rig. Ruger is about the same size. It has different grips sizes for smaller hands though.

OK good. I am a Ruger fan so glad to hear about the size.

Thanks!

I had one several years ago, minimags worked perfect, nothing else i tried would make it through a mag without jamming, i sold it cause of that, but it was fun to shoot with the minimags. IDK if they have improved since then

Sounds like I need to go look at the Ruger.

Thanks all of you!

Yes. Go with the Ruger. Not nearly as temperamental as the P22.

Walther is just picky about ammo. Walther will tell you what works. The CCI tactical version of the Mini Mag round nose is a good one.

A Ruger Bearcat and cowgirl holster rig would be cuter and not ammo picky.

Yes I would love to get them both a Bearcat and rig
but that is a bit cost prohibitive right now.

Picked up the Ruger SR22 today.
I think there are going to be 2 very happy happy little girls
on our next trip to the range. The full size revolver was a bit too large.

Thanks to you all!
