My husband’s grandma wanted a new shotgun to shoot garden pests. Uncle said, “no way, she will end up shooting one of us.” So no gun.
She was from southern Indiana, and a great shot even in her old age.
Your “wordsmithing” grade for today is 100%.
Thanks for the careful and thoughtful explanation of things that granny should consider.
This sounds excellent. I have an elderly female relative who may enjoy hearing that. She does not have mice at this time.
Would it be convenient to provide a link to this item as an encouragement?

Okay, so far 17 snarky comments and three comments of utilitarian value - about average on FR. We’re doing good. Thank you...thank you...thank you.

It’s communication. Be best.

It’s hard to find holsters for a 3” Model 60. I have a Bianchi No.7 pancake holster for mine, and it conceals well under an untucked shirt or under a jacket. Not sure of that works for Grandma’s wardrobe.
“Maybe Grandma could go Mexican carry?”
Badges!!? Grandma don’t need no steenkin’ badges!
With your help, this thread is really deteriorating.
“...one even killed a robbery suspect at an ATM, shooting through the purse.”
As a public service, you need to post her picture so innocent people don’t stand in front of her at the Walmart line or ice cream stand. Thank you.
“It’s hard to find holsters for a 3” Model 60.”
Thus my question, and your subsequent answer. Thank you.
Here are a few. I know women are particular about their purses, there are quite a few to be found.
Actually, it was at night at an atm, if you aren’ta criminal trying to rob women, you’ll be fine.
First off, grind the hammer spur down to a point where it won’t snag on clothing...still be plenty enough mass to make the cartridge go BANG and enough to grip for cocking to single action.
Then think about where (on the body) “Granny” wants to carry, THEN consider a best fit holster.
“Granny” shoulda got a Charter Arms .44Special “Bulldog”
variant w/3” barrel & “bobbed” hammer (also available as a swap out). Maybe next time.
Yer welcome.
I like Tucker Gunleather.
Thank you. I will so inform her.
You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
