So my fiancee is new to shooting and besides today it's been about a year since I've been. She bought a S&W shield EZ as her EDC once we get her conceal carry taken care of. She was talking about wanting a 22 to practice with, seeing how it's a lot cheaper to shoot. We've looked at the Taurus, P22 and a M9 22. I completely overlooked the SR22. Today on her lunch she went by a gun shop and took a look at the SR22, we were looking around online at them and she fell in love with this on. I have to admit, I'm really liking the finish on it as well. So as we were eating dinner, she's said "let's get this one". So now it's just a waiting game. Hopefully it looks just as good in person as it does in the picture.
