I am looking for a reliable, accurate and fun to shoot 22LR that will not break the bank. Of course, there are many options out there, and I've listed the main ones I've looked at--mainly semi-auto ones. This pistol will be used by me, my wife (who is not a shooter currently, but shot about 100-rnds through a friend's Ruger MkII and liked it!), and my 8-yr old daughter as her first firearm. Lots of roles to play. Anyway, what's your vote & advice? I am swayed by the Ruger 22/45 Great Eight and the Walther P22 w/5" barrel, but I might be selfish for my reasons for each. I list the 10/22 as the only rifle because I had one as a kid and loved it, but I am not sure a 8-yr old or a first time shooter (my wife) would like a rifle. Thanks!
