I'm 79 and have the same issues. I had very strong hands but arthritis robs you of this strength. I bought one of those Calif approved Shields. What a ***!! Everything is difficult from racking the slide to trying to fit 10 rds into the magazine. It has been moved into the "Take Me" pistol roll. I started using my Mod 39-2 and it is the answer. Easy to rack and that de cocker is the cat's meow. Safety is my number one concern. That pistol is the most safe one I own. Double action for the first shot isn't a big deal. You are not on the 50 yd line punching paper. You will probably miss on that first shot anyway. The second shot trigger is great. That and a 1911 cocked and locked. Take your pick.
