A young friend of the family abt 29 has arthritis quite badly. She wants a home protection weapon. Her fingers badly miss shaped. On most pistols: she can't pull slide back. On others she can't pull a double action trigger back.
I'm now thinking a .22. While it is not the best in stopping power. I think 10+. Rounds in to a perp is better than throwing a pillow.
Any brands or models I could recommend. Then try it out at a range.
