Ok. If he's going to shoot optics, add a rail and a red dot. The slide racker might be handy if he has trouble gripping the slide. Mag base pads are nice, makes seating magazines easier. No need for extended mag release, if you need to do a speed reload, you've lost that string anyway. Tacsol barrels are pretty, not sure if it helps shooting though. I've got Rugers and Buckmarks. One Buckmark was very problematic. It spent the better part of a year going between gunsmiths and Browning service, mostly due to Covid restrictions and one incompetent gunsmith. Only parts I've had to replace on the Ruger was an extractor and mag springs, haven't had to replace anything on the Buckmark. I keep a few extractors on hand, just in case. It seems the Buckmarks take a little longer to break in than the Rugers.
