Well, Sig conversion kits are on sale for $149.99 right now.

P220, P226, P228, and P229.

Not super cheap, but a cz 9mm with a kadet kit is damn near impossible to beat for training new people. I have mine fitted for a full size BD. There is zero recoil, no muzzle flip, and the slide stays open on the last round.

In addition, if they want to move up to shooting actual 9mm, you already have the slide. 9mm target loads from a steel cz are not intimidating either for new shooters, and it is a very forgiving pistol to learn to shoot on.

I've taught at least a dozen people on this setup and it works well. I think the kadet kit is one of the nicer and more durable 22 conversion kits on the market. It is definitely superior to a .22lr sig kit in form and function.

You didn't say how much you wanted to spend. I don't consider these "cheap" but now that the Ruger Mark IV is out, you could probably find some good deals on Ruger Mark II and Mark III pistols. There is also the S&W Victory to consider. All that I have mentioned are popular, good quality pistols. My own choice would be the S&W Victory and then the Ruger Mark IV for several reasons, not the least of which is easy takedown.

One thing you can say is it's cheaper than a S&W model 41. It rivals dedicated 22lr pistols imo.

S&W Victory. Not fussy about the ammo. Accurate and has a decent trigger. Should find one for around $350.

If the gun is to be for training, you should go to the local pawn shop and get a semi-automatic and a revolver.

Knowledge of the mechanics of both the semi and the revolver will give a better understanding and not leave the impression that gun engineering is magic.

Buckmark also..... And, the controls and ergonomics of the buckmark more closely resemble a real pistol than the ruger mark 1,2,3 etc.
