My wife is AWESOME!

[JMintzer]

I really like the Sig idea. I'm a big 226 fan. Might go that route. Two guns for the price of one and a half...

Agreed. I bout a P229 in .22. Soon, I'll order the .40 upgrade...

My vote for the combo: Ruger 10/22 & Walther P22

 

[Streetgang]

Nah.p22 is out for sure. finicky, and too small for my taste.

 

[GNLaFrance]

First thing out of my mouth was "what have you done with my wife?"

'S what I said when SWMBO told me not to sell any more guns. On the other hand, she's made it clear she'd take a dim view of my buying any more until we've moved, but hey, I can keep the ones I have

 

[Treeguy]

My vote is for a 10/22..i bought a few .22 to shoot this year and out of a few guns the 10/22 is most accurate and fun to shoot. Pistol wise i would say it depends on what type you like. Ruger mark III hunter is very nice..http://www.ruger.com/products/markIIIHunter/index.html

Hey i need my wife to hang with yours for a bit...you are a lucky man. Mine is always saying more ammo..WHY? she has no idea..i try to explain though

When it comes to guns..my wife is always saying you dont need more..how many does it take to shoot a deer..blah blah...

 

[Nanook]

Any suggestions?

Yeah! PM me that koolaide recipe!!

(The other folks covered what you were looking for pretty well, and that recipe is what I'm looking for)

 

[wlc]

She went to an RV show with you?

 

[Biggfoot44]

Whenever Mrs Biggfoot says " you need that" , it's yes Dear.
If its " I like how that one looks" , then I gets it without debate.

 

[ThawMyTongue]

Lucky bastige. My wife won't touch a .22 because they are "no fun". She only shoots expensive stuff.

+1 I have to buy a 1911 for my wife because she,"can't feel any power with a .22"

Guess I'll HAVE to get another gun

 

[Streetgang]

She went to an RV show with you?

Sure...I just have to get her to the gun show at Dulles.. that would be the coup.

 

[Brychan]

After taxes come back I'm going to be looking for a .22 revolver probably a S&W and maybe a rifle as well as last weekend at the range my 12 y/o granddaughter really liked shooting the Hi Point 9 mm carbine. So I think a .22 rifle maybe a good idea.

Mine likes the .45 but she wants to be "economical" with the .22 because the ammo is so much cheaper. Who am I to argue that point?

 

[swinokur]

Does she have any unmarried sisters?

 

[Streetgang]

Does she have any unmarried sisters?

Her only sister is a left wing, tree hugging, gun hating, bush hating, granola eating, barefoot, non pitshaving liberal. and she's 12 years older than my wife.
You do not want to go there for sure.

 

[tdt91]

I would advise you to get a Marlin Model 60 for the rifle. There is a reason they are the number one selling .22 in the U.S. you just can't find all the after market stuff for them, but why would you want to change a 160 dollar .22 any? guys go out and buy a 10/22 and then put 500 bucks in aftermarket stuff on them.
I have both and the 60 is the real deal for inexpensive .22s

best would be shoot both guns in a stock version and then you decide.
I have no recommendation on the hand gun

 

[Frankenstein]

non pitshaving liberal. LOL

 

[Biggfoot44]

Mrs Biggfoot will not shoot semiauto pistols larger than .22 .
But since she favors .357 and .41 revolvers, not a problem.

 

[Streetgang]

Yeah! PM me that koolaide recipe!!

(The other folks covered what you were looking for pretty well, and that recipe is what I'm looking for)

The recipe is really quite involved...it took 22 years to perfect and 14 deployments to make her want me home. All the rest... I just give her what she wants, and I get what I want.

 

[carpentermatt]

My vote is for a 10/22 and the Ruger Hunter. Both are great out of the box and have a lot of aftermarket upgrades if that is the route that you want to go. I love shooting my Hunter almost as much as the centerfires, and after 500 rounds you are only out less than $20 instead of $120

 

[*Slap*RobT]

Haha. Thats awsome.
