I'm a fan of the Ruger Mark IV, though depending on what you're looking to practice it can operate a little differently than say a Glock 44

You could also get a calibre kit for your regular 9mm for some guns that allow 22LR but Ruger mark IV is one of the ones that function the best from what I’ve heard. Glock 44 sometimes still has slide issues
