[QUOTE="Erick, post: 2850779, member: 11535"] Being an older gentleman, there are a range of issues that make his selection different from what our ideal selection would be. He needs something that he can handle, operate and is reliable. Typical "stopping power" calibers generates problems for the user and is compounded by cost. I think a .22LR or a .22mag is the answer. Accuracy and fast follow up will be in his benefit. Moreover, he will be able to practice without spending too much on ammo or becoming uncomfortable. If it is in his home, a rifle makes sense. If he is set on a pistol, what about a Ruger Charger? All the capacity of a 10-22 in a pistol package? I would put a Bushnell red dot on it and he would be set. Here is one for $218 plus shipping/transfer.
