I'm an average guy, with simple tastes...
As a courtesy to my benefactor, I respectfully suggest that she select from the following short list:
1. Browning Medalist, LNIB, not too much engraving.
2. Springfield Armory FBI style Gov't Model
3. Automag .44 Magnum, a la Dirty Harry, but with short barrel
4. Colt Python in VG condition, from the "good old days".
5. P7M8 in VG condition
6. MP5 (if rules permit - it CAN be fired one-handed!)
Yes, I'm from California, and some of these aren't 'acceptable' here; screwem.
