FBG, I can empathize with your statement about getting old and the attendant suckage.
Last time at the range, I took a number of guns including my Ruger Redhawk in .44 Mag. When I had run about 30 cartridges through it, I came to the conclusion the gun is more than I can expertly handle. I sold it to a very good friend who is 30 years younger. He bought my .44 Mag lever, too.
I still shoot my .357 Mag with skill and dexterity so that's my go-to gun of choice. It has a lever carbine partner, too. I like the idea of one cartridge, two guns.
Now, I am considering selling my long time daily carry: a Glock 27. However, I have so much invested in that gun. I have a 9mm barrel to turn it into a 26; an internal laser sight that I just didn't ever like; a .22 lr slide assembly that seemed like a good cheap practice idea at the time but has less than a hundred rounds through it; too many magazines to count, Pierce extensions; Kydex holdsters (two); SoB leather holster; IWB holster; OWB concealment holster (level 2); and just shy of a bazillion rounds of everything except Blazer.
I think I'm looking to replace it with a .357 snubbie if I can find one that fits my fist. I had a Rossi in stainless with a trigger guard that smacked the heck out of the middle finger knuckle every time I shot it. Left a mark that hurt for a good 6 months, so I don't want to make that mistake again. The same guy who bought my .44 also bought the snubbie but I know he doesn't need another one. So, this next one has to fit my paw.
Enough rambling. Getting old sucks. HazCat just hit 63 and I told him I really wish I could say something positive about advancing age. But, I really can't. An elderly aunt came closest to finding something good to say about age when she was in her 80s: The one thing the Good Lord gives us to compensate for the loss of our youth is wisdom... but you can't do sh!t with it.
