Don't laugh, but I was hoping someone might be willing to part with a decent gun. I know I could find an older model .22 short for this, but that's not what I want. Anyone with a gun willing to help this charity case??

You should be able to find an IZH 35 for less than $800, or you could save up another $200 and get a Benelli.

I haven't seen many IZH 35s lately for sale. I'd really like to find a used MP90s. I've never seen a used one though. Was hoping someone here might know where there's one.

Larry's has one for $1400, or the 95 for $1000.

I love euro guns too but . . . I also have a Ruger MKII with a trigger job that is every bit as sweet as the half dozen Hammerlis and Pardinis I own.

Unless you are completely closed to the idea of a US made gun, I suggest considering a MarkIII (or even a used Mark II if you can find one) and having some minimal work done to it including a trigger job. You will not regret it. Rugers are overbuilt to last several lifetimes with just minimum care.

Best of all, the gunsmith I would suggest you use to turn that Ruger into a fantastic shooter is right here in Littleton, Colorado.

PM me if you want some additional information.
