I have an LCR .22 magnum that doesn't bother me. I carry it on walks and such, but for EDC, I'm going to stick with my Shield 9.
I carry a LCR 357 or a SW 642 pro series.
Like you I am 63 years young and have arthritis in both hands and they will beat you up. So I practice with a LCR 22 and continue carrying the revolver.
But the shield 9 is proven and will get the job done they are a pleasure to shoot.
