An elderly woman has no business buying a glock anyway unless she has been a trained gunner her whole life...A revolver would probably be the best option for her. Either that or a light-rack with a safety.I was at an Academy store looking for some ammunition today and a few other products. I overheard one of their gun experts talking to an elderly woman. She was filling out the paperwork on a Glock and he was explaining to her that she needed to get a strobe light for the rail, so that when the bad guy comes in she could hit the strobe light and it would temporarily hypnotize him. I am not kidding, this was actually heard. I was like thinking what the hell?
