Hard to beat the Rugers for the price. Especially since it can grow with you. When/if you need a match grade trigger, no probs..if you need a match grade receiver/barrel, no probs (Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite). You can have a steel frame, or a lighter polymer frame, which is my preference because of less grip angle.

There are many good guns out there, so try them out and see which fits you best! :)

I have to agree about the Rugers as plinkers. Also check out the Browning Buckmark,which is a better gun for just a little more money. Whatever you get, make sure it has adjustable sights.

Try out the RUGER. I would suggest either a MKII if you can still find one or the new MKIII. They are great little guns. You may well hear how the "quality " is so much better with other products. I submit that the quality issue is most prople don't know how to strip the gun and put it back together. So when is starts to jam and the trigger feels gritty it must be the gun. Or a lousy manufacturer. I have fixed two broken guns just by cleaning them.

I shoot mine year round. From November to March I shoot it at an indoor league. IN the summer it goes with me everywhere. And I shoot it in the action pistol club we have in town. Keep it clean, and it will last you forever.

IN addition there are, as already stated, all kinds of parts you can purchase to trick out your gun. If you so need.

Mine is still stock.

I also vote for the Ruger.  You can pick up a used mark 1 or II for the $ you want to spend.  Lots of extras if you want them.  Very good out of the box.  If you like revolvers, the Single Six is a fun gun too, and can be had for cheap.  Either way, you can't go wrong.

Ruger.
Yes, there are other fine handguns out there...but for the $, it's really hard to beat them for dependability, accuracy and durability straight out-of-the-box.  So many models, price ranges and add-on (toys) to choose from too.  Enough said...

Good Shopping.

Browning buck mark, can be found for cheaper than the MKII's, and have the same reliability and accuracy.

My experiences with the Buckmark are good. I shot one in bullseye competition for years until I bought an old "like new" High Standard Trophy. I put over 20,000 rounds through the Buckmark with out any problems. It was also a match winning accurate gun.

I have to agree with the Ruger.  I have seven Rugers, two Blackhawks, a Single Six, a P89, a P97, a MK II, and a 10/22.  They are all great guns.  I don't think you can beat them for the money.  I agree with getting adjustable sights, although my MK II with fixed sights is right on at 25 yards.

I have had experience with only one Buckmark.  My son had one.  After he had to have it repaired twice for the same problem, he traded it off.  Basically it would become a single shot.  The striker would not recock when firing the gun.  If you cycled it manually it would recock, but not when firing it.

My old man bought a Ruger MkII back in the 70's (pretty sure) and it's the pistol I learned on. It's mine now and my own kids are using it just as I did. I wouldn't trade that little pistol off for nothin else.

I just bought a used Walther T22 and am well pleased with it.  It cost me only $200 but new one's are only a little more.  It fits my hands well and I find it to be a little lighter and more compact than the Ruger.  Cheys and Fords, pays your money, takes your choices.  44 Man
