Poll Best Handgun for Elderly New Shooter

[Darqhelmet]

P365-380 softest shooting center fire I have until you jump up to full size all metal guns.

S/W has an entire EZLine for her. Like to many models for me to list. Made for old/ill/disabled people.

No mods it’s fine, drop it into a x/xl grip module and you can burn that down all day.

VP9 for the cocking ears, easy mag release, lower snap compared to other plastic 9mm.

92 or P01/PCR for all metal guns.

This is what works for me. The reality is she needs to go and shoot guns and pick one.

Honestly I would try to work backward from their hand stamina: how long can comfortably they hold a gun of 2 vs 3 lbs. From there curate some choices until they find something they like to hold or think looks cool.

I also love the PCR. Fairly soft-shooting and accurate.

Considering how the stereotypical gun owner is portrayed as a white, racist, misogynist, homotransphobic, cisgender, far-right, toxically-masculine, compensating, gymbro... we really came together (pause) for this lady.
