So with all the news around the world showing just how threatening the "mob" mentality is, my father, who probably has forgotten where he has hidden more 38's than I have handguns, now wants a hi-cap auto.
Problem is, now at age 68, his hand strength isn't what it use to be. He wants something with lots of rounds, just in case.
I have let him try most of my handguns, but has a problem with all of them. Can't rack my high end 1911's. XD's or Glocks are a real problem also. I'm trying to talk him into a basic AR which would satisfy his need for more than 5 rounds from his wheel guns. He is reluctant, but willing to shoot a few mags out of mine before he make up his mind about a HD rifle. He has handled M14/M16/Colt 45 in the service. He has a couple Mossburg 500's which he still can handle with ease.
That being said, he still wants a hi-cap auto. Not a big fan of 9mm, but this would allow the most rounds per magazine. He can shoot anything I own if I chamber the first round. This will not be one of his carry guns. He probably won't mount a light so rails are not needed. This handgun will spend its days on the bedstand most likely. He is not comfortable with something he can't clear a round or change mags and rechamber a round.
Looking for ideas for a easy to rack production gun. I would rather not buy assorted springs and see if he likes a particular setup on a chosen host gun. He will spend the $$$ if he likes something, but I doubt he wants to spend much more than $400-$600.
