As my age and arthritis have advanced and my need for mobility diminished, I've reduced my expectations. At 75 I'm quite happy with a J-frame .38 Special +P for EDC and a Model 10 for a bedside gun. I also have a 12 gauge double sawed to 20" and a Marlin 39A, both of which I've had for forty years; but in my old age, my .38's suit my needs and my crippled-up hands just fine.
