Haven't got my CC yet here in California, but I own a variety of both wheel guns and semi-autos, but since there are magazine capacity limitations here, and a high capacity semi is out of the question. I plan on carrying either my Model 65 Taurus (don't snicker) .357 4-incher, or maybe my Bersa Firestorm .380. Neither has high capacity, but I guess can do the job. Did consider one of my Nagant revolvers, but would hate to be laughed at by a would-be assailant....you call that a gun? This..is a gun...
Do only "old"guys edc revolvers

I have a bottom feeder left, 1911 platform, that said, I carry one or more of the following every day.... and I ain't old dag nabbit...
Transit,
The Sioux Indians from the Pine Ridge Reservation use to come to Cheyenne Frontier Days when I was but a wee lad.
His assigned "american" name was Dewey Beard. He was an old old man when I talked to him just as a kid to a real live Indian.
50 years later I learned he had been a young boy at the time of the battle and watched it take place from the village
I became student of the battle over the years and I keep thinking boy would I like to talk to Old Dewey now.

Youngsters
Don't give up hope, God loves youngsters, and as shure as night follows day, you will someday mature. You don't have, or need a choice in the matter. A good account of this is given by Mark Twain, in his observation of how stupid his father seemed to him as a boy of 17, and how much his father had learned in just one year, after he had reached the age of 19. The dates, and story may be a bit off on this, as I am beginning to revert back to the superior intelligence my youth, and it's giving me a sick sense of humor. The lady shooters are probably out comparing notes on how to get the young guys to jump through hoops, and do other useful tricks. for them. OBTW we "old poops", with all the ailments still love you too.

i've checked with other gals who shoot.
they avoid these sites due to political differences with most of you.
i try to avoid that subject because i have been attacked in nasty ways on other gun forums.
like it or not, most girls who shoot are liberal.

I'm 81 and pick my carry of the day, based on what and where I'll be on that day. Five choices and I regularly practice with each one. My age does not determine the type of gun.

It's not stainless steel...it's nickel. The 15's came in blue or nickel finish. Thanks for your comment!
15-3 in blue below
C&L.... Those are some mighty fine lookin' shootin' irons!!! I've said so before, but those Stag grips of yours are just stunning!!!
Try the Delta Ergo grip on the J Frame.

I am almost 65 now and I Retired from the Police Force after 34 years. I carried a model 10 and 19 for most of those years. When we went to semi in the late 80's, I of course had to change but only on duty. I like the J Frame Mod 60 the best. I do also own a PC Shield that I carry also..I also have a Smith Model 460 Magnum that I play with at the range and also a AR-15. I just like guns , so if that makes me young or old...that's ME !!!

Hiding, by getting rid of a problem, just makes it come back another day. When I noticed my two boys, ages 5, and 6 years old, were playing Cops, and robbers, and blowing each other away with their cap guns, I took them both out on the open ended breezeway, this was out in the country, with no one living close to us, Told them this is what a real gun does, and carefully let both of them fire a few shots from an old .22 cal. short revolver. To say the least, they were really impressed with the muzzle, and cylinder flash, and jump, plus the unbelievably loud report of that old .22 cal. short revolver. Needless to say that after their training at that tender age, on how to handle fire arms, and what they would do, there were always loaded firearms kept in our house safely after that. They also didn't have to learn a ton of bad habits on their own, for someone else to retrain as adults.
