Target pistol .177 for daughter

Hello ODT’ers,

I’m looking for a decent target pistol for my daughter or any advice that can be offered on the matter.

Thank you
I just posted this today. It's a hell of a lot of fun and the same weight as the older Ruger Marks. Has the target grips and all. I bought it for $120 and had my fun with it yesterday and today. I'll sell it for what I bought it for and throw in some CO2 and pellets.

How old is the girl?
Does she have strong hands and arms to handle a spring-piston design gun?
Many women and kids cant.
Plenty of air pistols that use a CO2 cylinder in the grip frame end up being way too big in the grip for a woman's hands.
The double-action trigger on those guns is terribly heavy and gritty too.
 
The Daisy 717 and 747 models are decent quality target shooting pistols with side cocking levers that were pretty easy to operate.
Unfortunately they've both been discontinued. You might find a used one.

She’s a featherweight, a lot of spunk but not much muscle. She did fine with a co2 daisy but I think she may struggle with spring-Piston.
