If you want my real suggestion...

Ruger 44 Carbine. The one that looks like a 10/22 and about identical. Open sights.

Not a pistol on the planet that can compete with that as long as it feeds reliably.

I would say M1 Carbine, but that is pretty light for anchoring one in their tracks. Maybe a Mini-30 or something like that.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
