I've sorrowfully concluded that my concealed carry of most auto pistols is pretty much past. Since retirement, my arthritis has progressed to the point that I can't properly manage clearing a malfunction or even properly reloading a medium-to-major caliber auto.
I've gone over to a Colt Cobra four-inch barrel in an AIWB (appendix inside waistband holster.) I carry the Buffalo Bore 158 LSWCHP load and can handle it pretty well. I don't kid myself into thinking it is the equal of a .357, but the 4-inch tube adds a touch of velocity, and it makes it easier to shoot accurately. I still have enough dexterity to manage a speedloader.
This is not fantasy carry-- I have daily carried concealed sidearms for slightly over 50 years, but for limited carry outside the USA.

Too bad about Uncle Art, but you have a system that works well for you.
