Ruger LCR 38 Special For The Elderly?
Can anyone provide me with some feedback on the Ruger LCR? I've read the Gunblast article but have yet to handle one. I'm interested in a self defense weapon for my Grandfather. He has a a bit of arthritis in his hands & I don't know if he can squeeze a DAO revolver trigger. I'm fairly certain that he can no longer rack the slide on an auto loader. I'm also juggling the thoughts of 38 Special vs 22 Magnum? He used to shoot a 38 Special & I think his fingers might be able to handle manipulating the ammunition better than the smaller sized 22 bullets. I plan on installing an XS site big dot plus the CT laser site. I can't really think of a better option at this time. I'm looking forward to any feedback that you all may have. Anyone have a good deal on one?
Thank you

- Given those options and limitations, I'd say get the LCR - FOG, 2013-05-26, 15:09
- The triggers are smooth and light for a DAO. (nm) -
