Glad you are making progress in that direction.

Miss Melodie first went to the range with me a bit less than 5 years ago. We took it easy for a long time but she can handle herself quite well now. She got on a .380 kick for a while because it's an easier cartridge to shoot. Additionally, it is also an easier slide to manipulate (which is why Dad bought one...arthritis).

She now owns an LC9s which she loves and shoots with great effectiveness in our little pistol league. She has shot everything up to about .45ACP power in both autos and revolvers in recent months. I am quite proud of her.

Something else to consider if your wife likes the Bersa .22 is to pick up a .380 Thunder. They can be had pretty cheap and the familiarity should be a good thing. That was Miss Melodie's first handgun purchase.
