The Ruger MKIV is a really good target gun, and easy to add rail mounted low cost optic sight.Yesterday my Father (72 years old, slight tremor in hands, aging eyesight, but no glasses/contacts yet) asked me if I had a preference over the S&W Victory or the Ruger mk IV. I told him the only experience I had with either was a rental mkIV that failed to feed or stove piped on nearly every shot. Otherwise I no relevant experience with either.
He followed up that question by expressing his desire to put a nice high quality reflex sight on a nice high quality target pistol that had a grip style as similar as possible to the old lugers.
So my question to you guys is if you were going to get a new .22lr target pistol with that Luger style grip, and add a great reflex sight on it that would really work for an older man's eyes, what combination would you go with? I personally would like it all to work as nicely as possible right out the box so he doesn't have to fiddle with it to much.
Also any recommendations for smooth feeding, and accurate .22lr ammo to pick up with that target pistol would be appreciated as well.
My preference would be a Sig P322 w/ Remo Zero sight, 20 round mags, handles even "cheap/bulk" .22LR well. It handles like the bigger Sig pistols (P320, P365XL)
