I believe that link is for the laser sight, not the actual gun.
If Grace's heart is set on a revolver, I'd say that's an excellent choice.

Big hands and big feet - you know what that means, right?Hell a Glock is difficult to conceal when you're wearing a parka. Might as well carry a friggin' Desert Eagle.
Yeah, but the women are always happy to see me.
(Actually, it's not so bad since I'm pretty skinny.)
I'm not a Glock fan. Not because they're bad sidearms, I just can't stand the ergonomics. For me it's like holding a 2 x 4 nailed to a mouse trap and I'm a big guy with very large paws.
(Yes ladies, the size of as man's hands does determine the size of..... well you get the drift......)

Big gloves and big shoes!

It's $231.40 on Amazon, with a better description.I believe that link is for the laser sight, not the actual gun.If Grace's heart is set on a revolver, I'd say that's an excellent choice.
I had to go back and look, I think you're right. That's pretty damned expensive for a laser grip!!
Like the Ruger SP-101 too.
The ISSC MK22
A semi-auto Austrian made version of the FN SCAR chambered in 22LR for around $500.
I'm seriously considering getting one.

Don't like the Ruger 10/22? Same result...$300 cheaper out of the box and American Made
Plus a lot of upgrades out there for the 10/22.
^ I love mine, drives tacks at 100 yards. Bought this one second hand already upgraded for $350.
You're right. .22 magnum (hollow point) is a wicked little bullet to take in the belly or the face. It definitely will give an attacker pause.https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/31348
22 Magnum round, around $300 and don't let the small dick compensators neigh say the smaller caliber, ballistics show it packs a punch.
Here is another nice little personal defense version. It's a HighStandard, 2 shot derringer with a holster that enables it to be carried in a back pocket like a wallet for absolute concealment and convenient carry.

I like the 10/22 but in this configuration which would double the price of the rifle.
What did it cost you? Ive been considering a 38. Some cop in town wants to buy my 357 but I dont wanna sell it.
Most of the time I carry a Heritage Arms .22lr/.22 mag single action revolver.
I bought one with a 6.5 inch barrel to carry while hunting, hiking, fishing and canoeing...something that if it was lost with a capsized canoe wouldn't be much financial loss and I wouldn't worry about dragging through the mud or falling in the water with.
I picked it up on sale at Bass Pro for $100.
I ended up liking it so much, I bought another with a 3.75 inch barrel for $160 to carry both open and concealed.
They both came with a .22lr and a .22mag cylinder.
I use the .22lr cylinder at the range and the .22mag cylinder when I carry them.
Sure, there's a downside to carrying a single action, but in my opinion, the pros outweigh the cons.
Cons:
- against an attacker armed with a firearm, you are at a distinct disadvantage...but IMO, if you are taken by surprise by an armed opponent, your disadvantage is nearly impossible to overcome regardless of the weapon you carry.
- not nearly as fast as a double action
- impossible to reload in a hurry.
Pros:
There are probably a lot more, but these are the ones that were foremost in my mind when I choose it as my primary carry weapon.
- has the absolute lowest possibility of accidental discharge,
- if it's taken from you by an attacker chances are excellent they will simply try to pull the trigger being unfamiliar with a single action, giving you time to attack or flee.
- If it is stolen (i.e. from your vehicle while you enter an area where weapons are not allowed) it is almost useless as an offensive weapon and you are not out a lot of money.
- With a little practice you can put 6 rounds in an attacker at 5 yards Old West Style as fast as a double action.
- I've put at least 10,000 rounds down range and both are still extremely accurate...consistent 10 ring at 30 feet for the 6 inch, 18 feet for the 4 inch.
- For defense, IMO it is a great weapon, cheap, dependable, safer

True, but you are getting a Tactical Solutions precision aluminum barrel (Tacticalsol.com) for the same price as the ISSC MK22.
Ruger 10/22 out of the box $190
Upgraded TAPCO stock $84 plus shipping from [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Tapco-Intrafuse-Ruger-System-Bottom/dp/B0030V7T6O/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5"]Amazon.com[/ame] made in the USA.
Tactical Solutions X-Ring aluminum target barrel from Midwest Gun Works for $176 made in the USA.
Sell the old barrel and stock for (conservatively) $60.
Equals $390 + optics for a new custom 10/22
Just something to think about.

Nice.
Need a little longer barrel tho.
EDIT - It's available with a four inch barrel. This might be replacing my SA .22 WMR six-shooter.
Thanks for posting this.
I just bought a 12 gauge remington shotgun for 250 bucks from my ex BIL. Was it a good deal?
I want a gun. I have one....357 magnum. Revolver. But I want another one. Not with a clip cuz i hear they jam a lot? Nothing huge. Something smallish. 22 is ok cuz I have ammo for it.
So what is the best gun to get that isnt too expensive? Middle range in price. Reliable. Easy to handle, not huge.
What are you wanting it for? Home defense or taking to the range?
Just to have it for emergencies. Home defense I guess. Body defense. I wont be going to the range.
