I've used the Aguila 60 grain SS round quite a bit in my normally ammo-sensitive 22/45 Ruger pistol. I was surprised. Clean burning, and cycles very well. 100 rds. with no problems or failures of any kind. Bullet drop, however, is significant as distance to target increases.

For women just starting out with a firearm, check out the Smith & Wesson Model 317 AirLite, 317 LadySmith Revolvers.
In the article, she relates her love affair with the Taurus .454 Casull. She also says she's not going to carry and wants a full-size. If she goes the revolver route, any k-frame in .38+P or .357mag would better fit her needs. Or even one bigger in .45LC or .44 special. The .38 special (normal load) has about the same recoil on a steel k-frame than the .22 does on the 317 with its light aluminum frame. For even more kicks & giggles, a 3" Ruger GP-100 or similar N-frame s&w would sit totally rock solid in her hand and shoot .38's with the same recoil as me spitting watermelon seeds. Ok, maybe a little more, but you get what I mean.
