If hes in it purely for fun then go the minor, but if he has a competitive bone in his body or thinks maybe he may get a little more serious at a later date then hes wasting money and should pick up something capable of handling major pf. Unless they give us a carry optics division then the second hand retail market wont be too flash if he decides that open isnt his thing.
A fellow club member offered me a czechmate on behalf of someone else a few weeks ago, for 200 more than those shadow open things gs are selling. Pm me if you want and i will see if i can find out some more.
