    Belly Band Holsters

    Thanks. I'll do that. A 2" belt sounds attractive.

    Belly Band Holsters

    Thanks. The Alien Gear band has the Kydex holster built in. It claims to be breathable but I can't tell how it'll feel without buying it which is the reason I asked. I'll have a look at the Alpha for sure. I forget the one I tried when this leg issue started but it was so hot that it was nearly...

    Belly Band Holsters

    Due to inflammation of several processes on the outside of my right hip, I can't wear any holster there. Yes, I can do an appendix carry without irritating the area but I'm mentally uncomfortable for all the common reasons with that carry. I tried a belly band and while it worked for carry, it...

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    I'll mention the 1911 in 380 but he specifically liked the no safety release of his S&W. I suppose the grip safety of the 1911 works well but everybody I know who is familiar with the 1911 and so carries it keeps the manual safety on while carrying. That's his issue. I don't think recoil an...

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    Yes, I looked the Staccato up and while I'd very much wish to have one, they are out of bounds in this case for several reasons.

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    I wondered if a .32 existed that met his criteria but failed to find one. While a tip up firearm would be better than no firearm, he's mentally ready to 'downgrade' to a lesser caliber but not to the point of losing that many follow up shots. I wonder if people are tougher or what. A 32 used to...

    Yes, seeing your post made me realize I left out important and relevant data in my OP. My apologies.

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    Again, he's my senior. I'm trying to help a nice neighbor. I figure it's for him to decide these things just as it will be someday for all of us.

    I never heard of that brand. I'll look into it.

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    He knows these exist. Again, I'm trying to accommodate him rather than change his views. A revolver would also be available in the 22 mag.

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    He apparently defines the 19 as full size. I also think, as does he, that a 22 lr. is better than a nothing but the idea of 22 mag seemed to interest him.

    I have to accept his statement of condition. I'm *hardly* the guy to try to give him instructions.

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    His concern about racking is clearing a jam. This man is well trained and knows his stuff. I doubt he'd also be willing to ask me to clean his weapon after a range day. He's got his dignity that was earned. It's his issue if he wishes to carry a duty size or compact or sub compact or one of...

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    I misunderstood the EZ. I thought it was SA like the 1911s so reliant on manual release safety for carrying. I also did not know the EZ had a grip safety which to me makes all the difference in my mind. I never worried about carrying the 1911. I personally think 380 is plenty of power and of...

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    I thought the EZs were hammer fired. If so, isn't carrying cocked and unlocked a bit risky? I'll also suggest the Walther.

    Concealed Carry For Old Folks

    I have an older neighbor who carries concealed but is having difficulties doing so. His hands, harmed by arthritis, can’t pull the slide reliably on his S&W MP 40 S&W. I fit some ‘ears’ on the slide for him which did help for a while but he’s back to having difficulties. He’s down to not...

    Have You Changed Anything Relating To Self Defense Recently?

    After having an armed confrontation with a burglar I surprised in my home when I returned for lunch, I reconsidered. I was then carrying a .380 but felt laughably undergunned facing down the 225+ lb burglar. I thought about it for a while and then bought a Shield in 40. I thought some more and...
