I did a lot of research on ammo performance and think I've ruled out the 410 shotgun. So with that, I'm thinking of buying a semi auto PCC and a levergun in 357/38. Then we can spend a day at the range together, with those and a few handguns for him to try. I'll plan on storing whatever he likes and handles best at his house for the times when we go up to visit. ;-) :lol:

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice, great things to consider and very helpful. :tiphat:
Does your Dad happen to live in the Houston area? If so, both of you can join me at PSC and your Dad can try the guns you bring.

Re: HD for the elderly- need some suggestions

I would lean toward an AR pistol or SBR in either a pistol caliber or .223/5.56. 30 rds, little to no recoil, light weight, mounted flashlight, red-dot sight or iron sights and a green laser. I'm not a fan of lasers, but indoor, especially at night, it might be just what he needs. (A Form 1 SBR "build" doesn't take long for approval. It could be a pistol until paperwork is approved.)
