Ruger LCR 38 Special For The Elderly?
If I was to call her elderly I'd get smacked upside the head, but my wife really has taken a liking to one of my S&W Model 36s with the old square butt frame and a Tyler adaptor. Due to an injury years ago, she has limited use of the index and middle fingers on her right hand, but she has no trouble handling the gun with moderate loads. She does prefer shooting single action, and I have taught her to cock the hammer with her support-hand thumb while maintaining a solid grip on the gun with her right hand.
IMHO, weak hands and DA-only handguns don't go well together.

- 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) -
