I am a new shooter. :) I bought my first handgun (Ruger KMKIII512) on May 28th, and shot around 800 rounds through it at a local indoor range with my son, and a buddy of mine over a 2 week period. Great Fun!!

Well.... my buddy liked my 512 so much, I ended up selling it to him. So; I ordered a new KMKIII678GC. :D And; the funny thing is; that is the gun I was originally going to buy. The reason, I didn't the first time around was I was thinking of my wife, and figured the 512 would be a bit lighter for her. So; I went with the 512 (5 1/2" barrel) model. The plan was to follow up with the KMKIII678GC soon after! Ha! :eek:

When my buddy offered to buy the 512, I decided since the 678 weighed only 3 ounces more - no problem! So; I did it!

Saturday; my wife and I will go out shooting. I think she will do fine. If she finds the 678 a bit awkward, and she, indeed, does enjoy target shooting, we will look at another option for her.

Welcome to the forums! You'd better watch out though. I did the same thing with my wife, now she outshoots me and claims all my best guns. I don't know if they still make it, but Ruger used to make a short, tapered barrel version of the 22/45. My wife really liked the weight and balance of it. You are smart buying Rugers though. They are the best .22's on the market.
