I have some neighbors (man & wife) who deal with an identical commercial problem as I. When we were discussing this problem recently the topic turned to guns. They had just purchased their first handgun, a Glock 43, and although he could manipulate the gun well, she couldn't rack the slide. He's mid-60's, she's ~70 with arthritis. She said she wants a revolver.
As a try-before-you-buy, I offered to let her play with a couple of ours.
Yesterday we had a shooting event at a neighboring property. 3 families involved. Was a GREAT day. We pretty much stuck to .38 special. End of the day, this gal indicated she really enjoyed my wife's 640 Smith, had no problem running it, and wanted to know if I would sell it. Answer there was 'NOPE'. I typically buy, don't sell. So, I suggested my favorite candy store and they're gonna go looking. Probably be tough to find one, I wish them luck.
They indicated they wish to continue learning how to safely shoot. I offered to help where I can.
Good stuff...
