Kilkenny, perhaps that last comment is true and I shouldn't be anywhere near a firearm. It is also true that women, especially single women without the support and encouragement of husbands, boyfriends or fathers, stay away from shooting ranges in droves. Your sentiments are not often expressed aloud but many women are aware of them. Fortunately, my range is trying to stay alive and growing and encourages women to join and to shoot no matter the skill or comfort level.
Thank you again, gentlemen. I appreciate your comments and opinions. I have to make up my mind in the next couple of days unless the firearms are sold before I can get to the gun stores.

Ayah my wife and daughter shoot and can outshoot most men. I shoot better only because I shoot more. My mother used to occasionally come out with me when I was a teenager and shoot a .45ACP. I'd laugh at any kind of bias you might get (I don't actually see that much at the range or at IDPA actually).
The note about the Ruger. I have Rugers, Brownings, a Neo, Berettas, Kimbers, S&W's, and a Russian POS. The Ruger .22 by far is the hardest to strip easily. I don't care that others say it gets easy over time. Of the two I had, I was able to succesfully take each apart once, and would never do it again.
I loved my Ruger Target. It was easily the most accurate with the best trigger of any pistol I owned. We literally shot it until it shattered after about 50,000 rounds through it. But field stripping it, no way.
Now whats not been noted-try the different pistols in hand. Each has a different grip angle. Frankly I loved the Neo's strong grip angle the best.
