    What kind of seniors are we speaking of? Because when I'm at the range and see some guy in his 70's or 80's he doesn't have a small caliber gun. He usually has one of those single shot big bore buffalo guns or large frame revolver or handgun that make the car alarms in the parking lot go off.

    The reigning champion of all handguns for, both, seniors and women is FN's Five-seveN 5.7 X 28mm semiautomatic pistol.

    For home or property defense I've, also, advised older seniors and women to consider using a 5.56 X 45mm tactical (entry) carbine.

    The self-defense method I recommend for them is to layout, approximately 4X their own body length on the floor. Then, if their commands to stop or go away are ignored, AND an intruder steps to within this predetermined distance ...... just start pulling the trigger.

    The technique I recommend is for an older senior to tuck the folding stock underneath one of his arms and point the muzzle, as straight as he can, directly at the target.

    Then, don't wait; start letting that 30 round polymer magazine do its work - 3 shots at a time: 3X pause & assess, 3X pause & assess, 3X, pause & assess.

    By using this technique, at CQB pistol fighting range, even the worst shot in the world is going to have plenty of ammunition left with which to save him life.

    PS: We're not getting too egocentric - Are we! We're talking about the 90% of extraordinarily vulnerable seniors and women who've never spent more than an hour's time (if that!) on a firing range in their entire life.

    Met a guy at the range today who was telling me about his service during the Korean War, and how artillery f'd up his hearing. He was checking his new handloads in his .41 Mag. You know, for bears, up close.

    Numerous gun magazines have at least one "senior" writer in them.
