You haven't said what it is that these folks need to protect from varmints. Since they are not gun people, and they have neighbors, it might not be their job to control varmints for the neighborhood. They are not accurate enough to take 200 yard shots on coyotes. It sounds like their range is going to be 100 yards and in. Centerfire rifle cartridges do not sound like their comfort level.
Since they are not gun people, you kind of have to find out what they are comfortable with and what they will practice with. It sounds like they are comfortable with a pistol caliber carbine. They don't sound like shotgun people. Will they go to the range and practice and gain proficiency?
