Retired military and former bodyguard to a media CEO here. Depending on how far he had to drive to the range, us older guys can be a little stove up by the time we get where we’re going. But after we get out and moving and warmed up we’re usually good to go.
Great story! Long time ago, I was told; 'Beware the person with few guns, they usually know how to use them.'
I was very late to the 'plastic pistol'. 1911's, Hi-Power, S&W 4th gen Traditional Double Action. All perfectly valid in the 1990's. All will do just fine today.
I still can’t remember how to break down the M9 Beretta, but I can break down and reassemble the M1911 .45 with my eyes closed. Does that count for anything?
Great story brother! I just cleared 70 myself, former Navy Corpsman. Current competitive shooter. We have guys in my club that are in their 80s on the backside and still shooting iron sites small groups and good times in IDPA. all great people that would gladly step up in defense others. God bless the people of the gun!

Roger that. I'm a few weeks away from 70 now and... Well, you know. We aren't as limber and quick as we were.
That's a great story!
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
We didn't get older by making the same young man's mistakes.

Beware of old men in dangerous professions…they're either smart, deadly, or both.

Of course! And the M9 is pretty easy. You'll get it again if you try.
Great story! Thanks!

Happiness is, a warm pile of Brass… 🎯
