Or find out what she likes, buy 1 used and tell her it cost XXX amount.

CZ is good... do they make a compact that's a decocker instead of a manual safety?

I don't think they are decockers, my 83 has a manual ambi safety and is either SA or DA. Smooth trigger too. It is something I would check into for her. Really nice guns!

I could be wrong, but I'll tell you this; I sell guns for a sporting goods store part-time, and I would not want to be involved in such a purchase. It doesn't bother me personally, not ethically anyway; but given the laws that are in place and my knowledge of them, there is too much potential for bad there. Hopefully I'm wrong, but if you take that route please be sure to research it fully first.

Roadrunner, as I said in my post, the obvious solution is to talk to the State Attorney and tell that person that you've got FAMILY who wants a quality firearm, which she can't at this time afford and then explain the details. I'll BET a beer that as long as it's auntie who fills out the paperwork and takes actual possession with asportation (meaning if you handle it in the store you're in "possession" but if you walk OUT of the store with it in your hands....that's the critical nexus) by auntie, you're going to be fine.

If you know the dealer, make it two transactions.

Auntie bought the pistol for $300, negotiated the price down.

You bought a box of Gold Dots for $130...
