Good Date Gun for Female to Shoot

[twoguntommy]

What are some guns which a female who's never shot a gun would find fun to shoot? I have a Beretta U22 Neos which is really fun to shoot. But I want another so she and I can shoot at cans at the same time and we won't have switch guns. I'd prefer not buying two of the same gun. I want to spend less about $200 to $250 max.

Pick up a .22 rifle. Fun and easy to shoot!

If she has never shot a gun, I would not spend the time shooting, I would be having eyes on her making sure safety was being followed.

Working at a range, I see alot of boyfriends bringing out the misses. They start shooting, while the misses starts sweeping everyone with a muzzle and has the thumb behind the slide.

Save your money for ammo and time, dont blow it on something only to have your friend not learn the proper techniques of shooting. Its better to have someone enjoy shooting, rather than not liking shooting because they got hurt or slide bit. It isnt the ROs responsibility to that, its the shooters (unless you are taking a class, which may be an option for your money).

I agree with the top priority of safety! I would make sure that your attention is on her. By keeping her and everyone around safe, she would most likely feel that you are paying more attention to her than yourself and this make her feel more comfortable.

Pistol:
Ruger MarkII or MarkIII
Walther P22

Rifle:
Ruger 10/22

Avoid the temptation to have an noobie shoot a large caliber firearm just to see the shock and surprise on their face. It may be funny for a moment, but can often turn the person off to firearms forever.

First time I took my gf/fiancee to the range I just went over some basic handling and safety. She had never shot before so was a little nervous of the kick but she had no problem shooting my XD .45 and has since shot a SR9 and is still happy with the .45. Let her shoot whatever you are going to shoot and hope she likes it. Just my $.02

My Wife (girl friend at the time) started with a 10/22. And now she will shot just about everything I have. The first pistol was a S&W Target 22, then a G22. Now she likes to shot my Python and has a blast with the AR. Good luck.......

Find out what she likes watching on TV. Cowboys or James Bond. Then get a .22 in a similar type firearm.
