TOP 8 Best Concealed Carry Guns for Seniors 2024 | Review
Number 8. S&W M&P Shield 9mm ($350)
The darn S&W M&P Shield 9mm is nearly the perfect carry gun. Capacity is good for a CCW - 7+1 or 8+1 with the flush or extended mag - and it's so compact and light that basically anyone can conceal one every day without issue. They're also incredibly easy to shoot and accurate to boot; how it handles belies the compact package.
Some might find standard 9mm ammunition snaps a bit, but a reduced recoil load will take care of that. And that's IF you have to; one of the gun's selling points has always been how easy it shoots in spite of its compact size. Which is what makes it the perfect gun for an older carrier. Although we must say, there might not be a better and more reliable carry gun on the market today for anyone really.
Number 7+6. 9mm Kimber Pro-Carry II & Springfield Range Officer Compact ($750)
What?! A tie between two Commander-frame 1911 pistols? Are you guys nuts?! Actually, these are brilliant. First of all, both the Kimber Pro Carry II series and the Springfield Range Officer Compact series (you can choose the Elite or the standard) are lighter than most Commander frames, both weighing in under 29 ounces. That makes them more reasonable to tote. Both are offered in 9mm, and while capacity is reduced compared to the standard plastic fantastic, is still good for a carry gun - 8+1 of 9mm. Both have a bit shaved off the grip; the Kimber is cut down to 5.25 inches and the Springfield to 5 inches, as that model is a CCO model.
Number 5. S&W M&P Shield 380 EZ ($500)
The S&W M&P Shield 380 EZ is actually designed for the elder market in mind. It's got everything the Shield 9mm has, just with a slightly longer barrel (3.7 inches vs 3.1 in the normal model) and it's chambered in .380 rather than 9mm. There are some other additions as well. The .380 Auto round doesn't require as stiff a recoil spring, so less effort is required to rack the slide. It was also designed with safety in mind, featuring a grip safety lever in addition to the integrated trigger safety. You can get ambidextrous safety levers as well, and this model uses the larger units from the M&P Compact rather than the discrete safety lever of Shield.
Number 4. Ruger SP101 ($900)
The Ruger SP101 is the only revolver in todayโs video. Other recommendations of concealed carry guns for older shooters usually have a snubby or two on it, but the thing is they aren't necessarily the best choice in some cases. Why, you may ask? Well. The weight. That sounds weird, but follow along. Most snubbies these days are lightened for easier carry. That comes at a cost, and namely recoil. In a 4-inch Model 10, .38 Special is gentle and easy, but in a 14-ounce compact snubby has more snap than some people want to put up with.
Number 3. Sig Sauer P225 ($800)
Now this is just being ridiculous; one of the Sig service guns? Again, ye of little faith! The Sig Sauer P225 has a lot of the same virtues of the Commander frames mentioned earlier. It's small enough to conceal, and the weight of the pistol means recoil is soaked up when shooting. While Sig's high bore axis means a bit of muzzle flip, the steel frame will take the brunt of it. The mag is single-stack - holding 8+1 of 9mm - meaning you don't need a power hammer to get more than a few rounds loaded in it.
Number 2. Glock 26 ($550)
Out of the small Glocks, the Glock 26 is going to be the best bet in sensitive hands. It's small enough to carry easily, chambers 9mm and holds 10+1 in the base configuration. If grip is a concern, it accepts mags from the Glock 19, and with a grip sleeve added to a G19 mag you get 15+1 of capacity. Or you can find extended mags that take it up to 12+1.
Number 1. Springfield XD-E ($450)
The Springfield XD-E is actually designed with easier operation in mind for a concealed carry gun. Springfield advertises that the slide is 27 percent easier to operate than the rest of the XD line. It also has a number of features that add up to a versatile pistol that's well-suited to use as a carry gun for anyone, including those that have a bit of trouble with stiff slides and recoil.
