I have a Ruger Mark II, and love it. It cost $150 and as long as I 
keep it clean, it fuctions flawlessly. I have the tapered 4" barrel
but would recomend the 'bull' barrel {$190) which is about 6-7" long 
and has a fairly large diameter and adjustable sights for improved accuracy.

I'm going to get one of those small Baretta .22LR ($200) pistols for my wife.
They're nice since the barrel tips up to load instead of having to slide
the slide back, which she can't do easily. Also, it's double action so you 
don't have to keep it cocked and locked, and it's very reliable and 
concealable.

Any spelling errors are really typos, so don't bother telling 
me I spelled something wrong, because I don't care...........
