My late great aunt once broke her wrist by trying to open a bag of chips. If she were still with us, which non-heavy, non-.22LR handgun would you suggest she carry?

(Though I will say that carrying a single-action non-semi-automatic gun is just begging for your bad day to rapidly continue its southward trend.)

Since you asked: Pepperblaster II by Kimber.

Folks with debilitating physical conditions need solutions customized to their individual needs, but their limitations shouldn't be used to draw conclusions on what's best for those not so afflicted.

A detailed discussion of that topic would properly be addressed in a different dedicated thread.
