Rimfire Pistol replacement

[pennys dad]

I am looking for opinion.

My criteria is:
1. Under $300, under $250 is best.
2. Able to eat all ammo it is fed
3. adjustable rear sight
4. Lite weight
5. NOT Competition grade
6. Easy to handle controls
7. NO MODS Needed
8. No revolver

Here is my question: With Ruger boning CA selling off stock, announcing dropping pistols from roster and making tons of cash. Basically being A-Holes.

We currently use 22/45's to train beginner Women Shooters for Women OnTarget program.
I have 6 but planned on buying 6 more over the year.
With Ruger being greedy, I won't be able to. So what other rimfire pistol can I buy that will fit the need?
Refer to criteria above.

Start looking for good used ones right here on CG's

so far many of the nutter butter sellers thought a stock version of the 22/45 was worth $350 when Turners was selling for $289

price?

Not sure where and have nothing to back it up but I was told the HP22 may be off roster now.

I had one for a bit and it was very finicky. The only thing that would consistently run was CCI.

Turners had em on sale last week for $139---Check out the vids on YT---Probably perfect for the ladies you mentioned.

Gotcha...

For some reason I thought he wanted new only.
