I know it’s not what you asked for but extar makes a 9mm *pistol* for $349. Takes glock mags. It would be softer shooting and could handle +P+ rounds with great expansion.
Throw a decent red dot and an olight weaponlight off of Amazon on it, and it should serve your old man well. Easy to aim, shoot, and inexpensive. I think so far it has great reviews
Where are you finding these for $349? I see them for $419 on the Extar site.
The only requirement is that it be 100 percent reliable.
Pm me if you've got anything. Cheap is the key word here. Thanks.
cheap shotgun would be better
