Been thinking about this after seeing many threads where someone is asking for a handgun for their (wife/mother/senior/random old fart). They want one that is easy to operate, has low recoil, decent capacity and easy to grip. There is never any one best solution.
That's where my idea comes in. I call it the "Jitterbug" handgun.
(for background on the name Jitterbug, go here: The Best Phone For Seniors The Simple Smart Jitterbug Plus Red | GreatCall Jitterbug has become synonymous for "overly simple for old people".)
I'm thinking it would about the size of the SR22 or PK380, not steel but not polymer either, maybe aluminum framed, double stack but still narrow, low caliber but still effective, so say .380. And no safeties, or maybe just a grip safety, nothing that has to be flipped off.
Does such a puppy exist? I know the Bersa Thunder fits many of these criteria, as does the aforementioned PK380, but both are single stacks.
And it would have to be marketed similar to the Jitterbug, for a specific subset of users.
What do you think? What changes would you make to my design?
