I applaud him, he did a good job, what sorta bothered me though was if you stop the vid around the 00:35 second mark, the bad guy's right arm, holding his weapon, is extended right at grandpa, at this point grandpa could've very easily taken a round or two, my position in this scenerio would've been to take my first shot just before this posture by the BG around the 00:32-33 mark in the vid, a 3-shot initial group to the head/neck area or aim a few inches below his right armpit when his arm was up, that would increase your chances of a good heart/lung shot....oh and I don't think I'd ever carry anything under a 9mm, unless it was a .22 (much less recoil, more control, remember, Shot Placement IS Key)

I tend to agree with you, however by grampa getting a little bit closer for that first shot his accuracy would be a lot better. I applaud him on remaining calm and collected before taking that first shot, backdrop, lots of people around and all. Furthermore, the fact that it's on camera, the robber pointing a gun at him will help him in case he gets sued. The robber turds could try to sue him civilly, thought I doubt with this video, any lawyer would even take the case.

Grampa 2 robbers 0, justice served.
