Getting started in IRF.

Hello All:
I haven't shot IRF since the days of .22 Shorts. Now my son wants to learn the game, and I really don't know what pistol to pick for him.
Any advice on brand, model, barrel length, etc.? Pistol suggestions needed for both entry-level and mid-level shooters.
Thank You in advance.

This topic has been explored a bit before...you might want to check the "search" function. In short, lots of people use their regular standard pistol (Pardini, Walther GSP or SSP, MG-2, etc), while some use the special RF versions of those guns. I think that for someone just getting into it a regular standard pistol would be more than adequate.

I can't speak from recent experience, but the Pardini SP dominated the World Championship. About evenly split between the standard pistol and RF versions.

1/ Age and build of son? - will make a difference on recommendations.
2/ RFP is definitely 'easier' with a modern low bore-line pistol: the Morini or Pardini pistols...
