I have recently been pontificating about a project I am calling The Old Man Gun.
In short, what handgun requires the least amount of hand strength and dexterity to operate and is something I could literally grow old with?
As I have witnessed friends and relatives aging, the natural debilitation of the human body does indeed become an issue.
As such, I would welcome any thoughts you would be interested in providing.
Thus far my thoughts revolve around a single action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum so I can run the gamut of light .38 Special to 180 Grain Buffalo Bore loads. I think single action due to lighter trigger pull, being able to cock the hammer with the heel of the hand if necessary (a gross motor movement etc) and the loading possibly requiring less dexterity / thumb strength than a cylinder latch on a double action revolver.
Of course all of the above could be me overthinking things, as I am prone to do, but would still welcome your input.
Thank you in advance.
