For a 22 caliber pistol I think the new easy to disassemble Ruger Mark 4 as excellent and as a 22 rifle the Ruger 10/22 is fantastic, there is so much aftermarket stuff for it.
it’s hard to go wrong with those two.
later if you get a shotgun the Remington 870 is fantastic, affordable, durable as before lots and lots of aftermarket stuff for it.
and if your state allows for it, I would consider getting an AR-15, there’s not a lot of recoil to it.
I leave off a recommendation for a full size pistol because they’re so many excellent choices these days and many people will jump on me for whatever I say so, I’ll remain quiet.
Someone else will ask I’m sure but first, are you a male or female?
and second, I mean to ask in a totally non Trump type of way but, do you have big hands..?
Agreed.
The Mark 4 looks like a good improvement from Mark III.
I love to plink shoot with the small caliber stuff.I use the Mark III. Kinda sets you up for when I bring out the big boys...
Don’t forget the ruger SR22 as a carry. a .22 is effective contrary to popular caliber elitists.

Remember the good old days when we were a Free People?

And if it doesn't, move the hell out of it.
I have a Ruger Mark I made in 1953, year I graduated from high school. Love it. It is also a collector piece for me.
The Mark I is not an easy to disassemble semi. I like what you say about the Mark 4.
I also have a 10/22. Really like it. I would recommend a 10/22 anytime. Mine is accurate. It does have a scope. As far as the aftermarket stuff, I have modified mine.
I was shooting at an empty tall aluminum can, no rest for the rifle, and from 75 yards I put five rounds through the can in a tight grouping, some rounds touching. And the can was not knocked down. I was using some high velocity Aquia ammo.
