Just came back from the gym today. My trainer told me-one of his clients-a 78 year old woman , is getting a ccw- the gun is a 380 Sig- the range where she bought the gun is also the ccw certification facility-I can't believe she can really rack the slide-they should have sold her a wheel gun-does anyone agree

A .380 recoil spring should be fairly soft, However gripping the slide might be difficult at that age,

There are many ways to "rack a slide " that do not involve actually gripping the slide however,

Maybe a snub .38 revolver would be better?? Its different for each user..

I have a lot of women who come into our store, and being able to rack the slide is a MAJOR issue with a lot of them. I will not sell them a gun until I am sure that they can do it.
There are a couple of guns that stand out for being easy to operate - the Walther CCP being one of them. If they can't do that one, I recommend a revolver.
