[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1990015, member: 100"] CoffeeShooter- How old is your dad, and what is his level of firearms training? In your initial post, you wrote of vehicle and very little concealed carry. Assuming he already has his OK CC license, check to make sure it's marked to include semi auto pistol and revolver. If he's old enough that his hand strength and dexterity is fading (It happens to everybody), a DA revolver may be easier and safer to handle than a semi auto pistol. An old cop trade in .357 with 4" barrel and full sized grip panels would fit a large hand well and has the option of practicing with milder .38 Special ammo. They point wonderfully and are easier to shoot accurately for folks that don't shoot often. Don't go small. If it's not going to be concealed, stick with mid-full sized guns. Other than local new & used, suggest checking Summit Gunbroker, AIM, SOG, J&G, CDNN and the rest for trade in's. Transfer through Sooner Pawn (Quick and inexpensive). Good luck with your decision and have fun shooting with him [/QUOTE]
