Help for My Old Man

[Loyalist Dave]

Thanks for the help folks. Those were great ideas. He told me at his 80th birthday party last week that a late friend has willed him a Colt Detective Special, so he's decided he will carry that. So much for worrying about what he should use.

Excellent choice, fine weapon.

You can still talk about a good holster, good carry ammo, and even a trigger job.

Good for him ... I could only wish that my "favorite uncles" with safe full of firearms would think of their "favorite nephew" at the end of their life ...

Keep the the .38

Show him the price and availability of .380 ammo. He will keep the .38

Good weapon for the elderly

I would recommend a Glock 19 for your father. It will never jam, he will have 10 rounds, if he can handle a 45 cal the Glock 21 may be better if he is really at risk, 1 shot and they will be on their back.

This reminds me of a really funny story, I talked my wife, who hates guns, into getting her CC permit and I went to class with her to help her pass the range test, she barely made it with my Glock 19., anyway as we were entering the indoor shooting range I notice an elderly lady coming in the door with a walker, a closer look at her walker and she had a Kimber 45 cal with a custom holster as well as mag holders attached to her walker. I later watched her shoot and she was very good, I love it!! Only in Arizona.
