I'm gonna go a different route: High Standard. Not a new pistol, but an old High Standard in good condition. They're easy enough to plink with, but accurate enough for anything less than Olympic target work (and some exceptions will hold their own even there).

I found a 6.75" barreled HB at the last gunshow. The pistol will shoot the eye out of a fly at twenty paces, if the shooter is capable. The trigger is a crisp, reasonably light single-action pull, and it has an external hammer (no need to dry-fire to relieve tension on the springs). While it's not a "target pistol" (lighter barrel and no adjustable sights), it's supremely accurate nonetheless, and will place rounds exactly at the point of aim.

I'm giving thought to selling my Ruger Mk. II because of this pistol. The Ruger, while good, just isn't the same level of fun or accuracy.
