That's a good point, IndyGuy. I wish Yaeger had addressed that in the video instead of just glossing over it.
Beretta 86. .380 with tip up barrel, so no need to rack the slide if you can't. Decent size, large for a .380 but still a good size. 8 round capacity is plenty for any shooting Granny finds herself in. Has a thumb safety, but use is optional. Maintenance is incredibly simple, doesn't even require slide removal to properly clean and lubricate.
I would buy that if only they made it in ____ caliber.

I doubt it will happen in our lifetimes but an energy-based weapon (ie phaser) would solve the problem for everyone and of course change the entire industry over-night! There would be no need or desire for a nasty dirty and loud cartridge based gun if one could have a nice light handgun sized "phaser" with no recoil whatsoever.
It's fun to dream!
On topic again. What is wrong with a model 10 K frame? Seems perfect for this.
Nothing is really wrong with one, but if someone's hands are truly infirm the heavy double action trigger pull is less than ideal. My dad can't shoot a revolver without cocking it first, and cocking it is an ordeal.
Doesn't this gun already exist and it's called Glock 42, XDS, M&P shield?
