You can't win this one, my friend.
Some folks just don't care about the facts and that's their right.
Glocks and my S&W revolvers are the handguns that have stood the test of time for me and many others like you and me for many years. They are what I rely upon for my own protection and the protection of those close to me.
I will grant that Glocks may not be everyone's cup of tea...nor aesthetically pleasing to some though I've never been put off by their looks or their functionality.
To each their own. (Though the stridency does get a bit old.)

Is 58 old?? I don't think of myself as old, but I guess I am.
Nope...not really old but you're headed in the old direction.
I'm 73 and carried this model 36 today in the pocket of my Carhartt bib overalls. In a horsehide pocket holster of course.

I've got my newly front sight painted 642 in an appendix carry kydex holster sitting right behind the laptop as I type this. So comfortable...

psjoe...I like the looks of that design Cold Steel knife
Thanks, me too. I picked it up for $28 on closeout when CS changed from AUS8 to CTS-XHP Stainless Steel. It's the 4" version, strictly a carry last ditch knife for me, I have others for utility.

"Old" is when you don't have much interest in anything. I'm inches away from 67 and work on my guns, shoot a lot, make my own holsters, ride motorcycles, drive hot rods ---do my own work on them--- and rock out with the stereo cranked in my shop while playing with all the toys. On top of that, I have a vegetable garden, I cook from scratch every day, do all the home maintenance, yard work, cut and split firewood, hunt, fish and still party on occasion. Retirement is a full-time-plus job. The body is starting to betray me, but my mind is usually at full speed.
My EDC depends on what I'm doing, where I'm going, and what I feel like carrying at any one moment. I often change up from semi-auto to revolver, of vice versa, on any given day. I have a bunch to choose from and they all get let out to stretch their legs.
"Old" is a mind-set. If you keep the brain active and have an interest in life... good to go!

I'm fixing to be 26 and one of my main carry guns is a 28-2, I just never could warm up to the plastic guns. I have a couple Colt 1911s that I like, but other than them I really just like revolvers.
But according to my wife I'm actually an old man in a young man's body so what do I know?
Also, I'd like to see the plastic gun that's good enough to do this at 50ish yards.

I carry a variety that suits my mood. Revolvers or autos don't matter because I can put the bullets on target and that what counts. I may be old at 85 but much younger than many I know. I just got a new pocket gun today, a bodyguard. Second childhood or senile . I like it.

Guess I am over the Hill around here at 83! I carry a SW Shield .40 caliber. IWB, cross draw. I admit firing it 36 rounds during qualifications can make you wish it were over soon. I have two other semi-autos, a .380 and a 9mm Walther P38 (damned dangerous), plus a .38 Spl Colt Diamondback and a .38 Colt Police Positive which I haven't carried or fired for years. I do like the .40 Shield but probably would get the .9mm Shield if I were buying today. Carried the GI Issue 1911 early on in the USMC.. During service with the Border Patrol and Customs Service, revolvers were standard issue., .38 Spl. and later the .357. Both were too large for CC. For awhile I used the .38 SPL. airweight 2 inch Chief's Spl.. The pistol was an aluminum frame, too light and too much recoil at the time.
