Can't go wrong with ruger Mk3 or mk2. I competed on the Mizzou ROTC team with a mk2. Beretta neos is super accurate for the $200 price tag......just looks goofy. Don't get a ruger single six, too slow to reload. There are a bunch of 1911clones in .22, browning, colt, uramax, Chiappa, etc...that would be cool
