so i keep thinking about getting a gun for my dad but he is sick (cancer ) and kinda weak from the radiation treatment . so what would be a good lightweight firearm that is not gonna knock him down when he shoots it?
he is over 6 feet tall and weighs next to nothing (135 ,remember the man is sick).
guns iv tried
ruger p series (he said it was too bulky )
norinco 213 (jumps around too much for him )
sks (too heavy )
ak (also too heavy )

kinda thinking about tossing a m1 carbine in his closet but i think he would feel better with a pistol. so any suggestions on a full sized pistol (thats not gonna break the bank ) ??
