“Ruger LCR in .327 magnum”

carbureted or fuel injected?

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.

My carry is a Makarov which I paid $99.00 for in the year 2000.

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.

S&W 442

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.

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.

“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:

Yes sir, I have evolved into a Ruger fan.

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.
