| 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. |

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

| 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. |
