Don't get me wrong. I recommend Glocks to my friends. They go bang every time the trigger is pulled, and do it with acceptable accuracy. And they point very naturally in my hand.

But due to advancing arthritis, even the full size 9mm causes me much pain when shooting. Which is not a problem with DA or SA revolvers, or my 1911s.

I have a Kimber 22 conversion on a Kimber alloy frame, and I love it. But it only runs reliably with Stingers.

And there is just one. So maybe it is time for another 22 when multiple grandkids go to the range.

The Glock 44 sounds ideal, except I do not need to train with a Glock.

The old dependable Ruger mark I/II/III? The Ruger 22/45?

Suggestions?
