I would love to carry a larger piece but comfort and concealment are paramount to me for various reasons and my daily life. But the .380 ACP is my choice for EDC. Sometimes the LC-9 when do’able.

I used to carry a Glock 26 IWB, but have switched to an LCP in a pocket holster.

At 60, the other thing I have previously bashed as stupid, but now find immensely useful is a Laser sight.

I have a Viridian laser on my LCP, and the pocket holster has a magnet that deactivates the laser when holstered.

When you draw the pistol, the laser automatically comes on.

I can keep my focus (mentally, and in my bifocal age, optically) on the target without trying to tilt my head back to see the front sight.

When one is a aging senior, where to conceal a firearm on their person?

Depends.

With me, it all depends on where I am going and what I am wearing (which is often dependent on the weather). As for where I carry on my person, most of the time it is an appendix carry. Thus, I am somewhat limited in what I carry in that position. Usually it is a snubbie .38 or a Glock 43, which is a 9 mm. In the winter, I can carry on my belt, so then it will be either a Glock 26 or a Glock 19.

I’m 68, so I am not going to carry anything more powerful or larger than that. Though, for home defense I keep a 6” .357 magnum handy; and I shoot that at the range on a regular basis.
