    I can only shoot a couple mags through my CM40, then my wrist starts twitching and I can't shoot anything. It's the last one I shoot when I go to the range.

    Friend has a Walther PPS 40.
    It's no fun for me to shoot.
    Bought my PPS in 9mm and it's a pussycat.
    Really believe 9mm shines in the light micro polymer guns.
    My Kahr MK40 is fine with 40.
    But it's an all stainless gun.
    You might try sub-sonic 180 gr in your 40.
    Seems to have less felt recoil than super-sonic 155/165 gr in my hands.

    At any rate, in a self defense situation a couple of mags should get the job done

    I figure if I'm still shooting after 12 rounds, I'm in some kind of trouble. I want to go to a 9mm, but finances are holding things up. Maybe later this year.

    I originally misunderstood the question. My answer would have been my Walther PP .380 acp is 52 years old and not too old to carry.

    I am 73 and just renewed my 5 year permit and will continue to do so until I feel it would be more prudent to keep a Shockwave in my lap while I am having my diapers changed in a nursing home.

    BTW, I still an an instructor and shoot over 95% on all my qualifies and continue to take regular force on force training.

    My wife is 71 with a current permit and is deadly with her CT equipped S&W snubbie.

    Now that’s just funny right there.
    The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

    Well, nursing home abuse is a thing, after all.

    Maybe it's a good conversation to have with the kids when they come to take your car keys....
