Mike, not to sound rude, but if you're going to tell him to ignore most of these posts and suggest there are only a couple of inexpensive guns he should be looking at. Wouldn't it have been helpful to let him know what they were ?
I'd recommend avoiding the Ruger Mk3 22/45. There are a large number of people (including myself) having serious FTF/FTE problems with that gun. There are fixes for the problems out there, but they are coming from the gun owner community, not Ruger.
I second this comment about the Ruger MK3. Mine's going back to Ruger. Would be interested in tracking down the fixes mentioned.
