So I got my brother convinced (finally) to buy a couple pistols and a Black rifle.. but he is living off one income family kinda deal. But I am not the best for recommending cheap but good guns, as I usually buy semi-customs or better. Obviously he's gotta go try a few, but I am wondering which we can try as obvious ones we should be looking at as contenders.
wants a good quality .22 pistol, I suggested to him a Mark IV Ruger, they are reasonably priced, easy to take down and use, been around forever, so I think that one is figured out.
As far as other pistol, He is looking for:
- #1 high reliability
- cheap ammo (so it's gonna be 9mm for sure)
- fairly ambi friendly
- under around $1000 give or take(cheaper the better, without sacrificing quality)
I'm thinking a Glock 17 or some sort, even though I dislike them, others? Don't know how good the HK's, walthers and other ambi guns are?
As far as a black gun, it's tough, he doesn't want the mess of cleaning all the time with surpluss ammo, so no vz.58 and the likes. So it looks like it will be .556, he would spend a bit more here maybe around $1500, having it NR sounds nice too, but not a must.
Not really keen on the unproven guns that have fan clubs, like the WK-180
He would also consider used guns, but really can't afford to get ripped off, he's also one of those really honest guys that seems to get the short end of the stick most of the time when buying used, so he's a bit hesitant.
Any logical suggestions would be great!
