Friend asked me what I would get, said mk4. Then browning if he wants new, look at old highpowers but he is not really in internet guy so thats not going to happen.
So out of all the poly stuff from sw, walther, the ruger sr22, etc etc etc in that vein whats regarded as the least fussy, most reliable.
Something 3.5-5 inch barrel, conventional looking for plinking up at the cabin. Not competition.
Yes I tried to get him on board a 22/45 he was not having it.
