The Bearded God (TM) and The Gun-Shop-Guy have spoken. I am truly humbled.
I first considered the M&P15-22 because it had 3 points of contact, and would soak up recoil a little better. When I was 10 y/o and shooting our Jennings .22LR, I could remember being intimidated by the recoil of the .22pistol. But, I suppose a larger carbine probably will end up sitting in some closet somewhere not getting any use.
Regardless, since my woman is not in to firearms, I think a .22LR pistol to show that she can control the gun, and that guns aren't too scary will be what I'll wean her on. If and when she feels comfortable with firearms, I'll introduce her to the 'stronger' calibers and see if she can't attend a shooting course. She lives near Ocala, FL, so I'm sure classes will be plentiful.
