Get one that's thoroughly broken in so that the trigger pull is smooth, maybe change out a spring if the double-action trigger pull is too heavy. A Smith & Wesson Model 64 would be a good choice, or a Ruger Service-Six - - something with fixed sights so that a clumsy old man can't break adjustable sights off. I'd probably load it with 148-grain wadcutters to minimize recoil.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402651457453813639noreply@blogger.com
