Happy birthday, Stealth01! And many more...

i'm 60 and I carry whatever I'd have carried when I was 30 or 40. I've exercised all my life and not much has changed that would effect the type of pistol/revolver I'd carry at 60. If I were slow and infirm - i'd not carry a weapon because I'd be afraid someone would grab it before I got around to it

Well I am only 52 but my father who just pasted 80 normally carries either a pair of S&W 325PDs or a pair of 396's and always a 642 in his pocket.

Same thing i carried 42 yrs ago after getting out of the Army, 1911, Gov.,Comm., and Kimber Ultra! All i will ever need!

Like the guy who had only one string on his guitar -- "All those other players are looking for the place. I've found it."

John M. Browning found the place a hundred years ago, and I see no need to look farther.

only game in town with solid reputation!

A nice j-frame revolver. No laser to confuse me. No semi-auto. 5 shots, now, tonight,tomorrow. No ftf, fte, double-load, stovepipe, or going out of battery, when your opponent is breathing menthol in your face. Lastly, if you had to "whip it", it would still function! It fits the pants pocket, the M1a jacket pocket, and the pocket of the topcoat. I have BHP's, but j-frame, with either WC's or SWC's, makes my day.

 

[tension]

Either a J frame or an LCP. Thinking about an LC9.

 

[Hypnogator]

I'm almost 63, carry a Ruger LCP (always) and often a Walther PPS in .40 S&W.

 

[RedAlert]

I'm 63. I carry a Kahr PM40. Soon I hope to change that to a Sig P239 in .40S&W when I sell the Kahr.

 

[Smokey in PHX]

63 - Depending on where I'm going a LCP or custom Colt Defender, sometimes a J Frame.

 

[KSCCHTrainer]

69, almost 70 - carry an older Taurus model 85 bobbed hammer J frame clone in a pocket holster. Very accurate, reliable gun and didn't cost an arm/leg.

 

[kolob10]

I'm almost 62 and I carry a Kimber UltraCarry or commander. At the very least I carry a Keltec .380 or 9mm. I carry even at home or when out on my property. Once shot a pitbull attacking my chickens late one evening. I wasn't wearing shoes but I was wearing my tools. Good shooting!

 

[JayPee]

68 and alternate between a CZ 85B and a Bersa Thunder 9 Pro.

 

[group17]

What ever I want.

 

[Steve 48]

I am 60 and I will carry as long as I can pull the trigger and hit what I aim at. Right now, that's often. I think older people are preyed on and need protection more than the younger guys.

 

[Waldo Pepper]

At 66 today this Sig P238 as pocket gun when dress dictates. This for when being on feet much, like shopping at Wal-Mart.



Or this S&W 629-8 Talo Special 3 inch, but it is mostly a car gun and always goes where I go.



Sometimes one of these Delta's, but less and less the last couple years..

 

[JR47]

Almost 64, and using a Taurus PT101. Lately, though, I've started carrying a Para-Ordnance P12.

 

[michiganfan]

G 19 most of the time. Will carry a Kel Tec PF9 once and a while. Sometimes both.

 

[Capt. Ct.]

My favorite is a Glock 36. Having said that ,I carry a Ruger LCR .38 special +P most of the time. When the cooler weather comes around the Glock will be back.

 

[BigEasy]

Over 60 CC

Almost 69.

Colt Cobra

Colt Detective Special

 

[mrt949]

PUSHING 62. Seecamp & Ruger sp101 357 mag.

 

[LordDunsany]

G26 in summer, G19 in winter. 442 when running to the mailbox or the store.

Feel comfortable with any of the above.

[Twiki357]

Well 60 years is starting to get awfully small in the rear view mirror, but the S&W model 60 still fits in the pocket. I just wish it was a little lighter so it wouldn't keep pulling my pants down.
