“Ruger LCR in .327 magnum”
carbureted or fuel injected?
Yes sir, I have evolved into a Ruger fan.
I completely disagree with the Beretta Bobcat or Tomcat. The strength needed to pull the trigger is beyond many seniors, especially women. Instead, I recommend a Taurus TCP .380. Much easier to handle and maintain. I know several people who own them and given the concerns one may have concerns about Taurus, they are outstanding.
Love the Mak, but I got ripped off. I paid $109.00, NIB.
Agree on the Bersa Thunder. 380. Great gun and is what I carry. Has an all steel version and a lighter weight carry version, which I have. Looks like the Walther PPK.
I gave a 442 to my father because he can't rack the slide on his Glock.
Now he and my mother, (both in poor health) use the 442 as a house gun.
Amen now get on your knees and pray something doesn’t go wrong here.
Love my Taurus 709 “Slim” 9mm! Single stack, fits in my pocket, and, I’ve never had a problem with it. My two cents.
I would prefer a sawed off 12 gauge at my age and eyesight but those are illegal.

chambered in .410, this is pretty close, and believe it or not, it’s legal:

MYself ... struggled trying to carry my glock 19 (9mm)... it's now my "car gun" ... and now normally pocket-carry a ruger lcp-2 (.380) ... unless, of course, i am venturing into the tribal regions
After reading all the comments there is no such thing as the “five best carry guns for seniors”. I am a senior and carry the fine single stack, slim, no safety, Sig P-239 in 9mm. Beautiful semi auto hand gun for sure. Not even listed.

I have two Glock 26s.
Solid gun, but be forewarned: it requires tough finger tips to clean! The spring tensions are waaay stiff.

Great minds think alike!
I was going to ask when Chevrolet got into the gun biz.

All of these “Best” threads tend to be very arbitrary.
